My MOTTO
We teach for life, not for school.

2. How people learn second languages
Methods
Grammar translation: students translate sentences into their own language or the other way round. However learners don’t do enough speaking.
Audio-lingual methodology: students do a lot of speaking practisce by using habit-formation drills. They repeat sentences agian and again until they are memorised.
The communicate approach: students do many speaking and writing tasks. It concentrates on how succesfully students can communicate.
Task based learning (TBL): is an approach where teachers set their students larger tasks (writing a newspaper article, giving an oral presentation…) rather than concentrating only on the language.
I don’t follow any one method, but I use elements of many different approaches. This ECLECTICISM seems to be the best way IN TEACHING.

3. Question to solve: DEVELOPMENT OF CREATIVE ABILITIES OF STUDENTS IN THE CONTEXT OF COMMUNICATIVE APPROACH
Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) Which is an approach to the teaching of second and foreign languages, emphasizes interaction as both the means and the ultimate goal of learning a language. It is also referred to as “Communicative Approach”.
Historically, CLT has been seen as a response to the Audio-Lingual Method .
Task-based language learning, a more recent refinement of CLT, has gained considerably in popularity.

4. Listening and reading, speaking and writing let’s make them brighter
I write mini-dictations and short stories with my students. Typical tasks also include filling in the information gaps.
Listening and reading, speaking and writing let’s make them brighter
Project kind of activity. It’s a good chance for students to improve their language skills and solve the problem which is better.

5. Problem-solving activities in teaching English is task-based LEARNING
introducing the problem could be warm-up activity
can be a picture shown on the active-board, or a video
reading of the story or watching video
listening or reading exercises
Discussion - talk about the issues presented in the reading or listening
discussion of mistakes

6. Student-centred teaching
The most important thing in a classroom is not how the teacher teaches, but wheteher and how the students learn.
Problem-solving activities is a learner-centered activity where the students communicate with each other while studying the problem and looking for possible solutions for possible future actions. The teacher can only observe and sometimes coordinate the process, helping the students to develop their communicative skills.
Problem-solving is the ability to identify and solve problems by applying appropriate skills systematically
Problem-solving involves three basic functions:
1. Seeking information
2. Generating new knowledge
3. Making decisions

7. Motivation is PERSONAL to each learner. How can we sustain it?
If we want something, we act on that desire. That state of mind is what we call MOTIVATION
Problem solving activities provide favorable usages for extended communicative practice. They are motivating and create a meaningful context for language usage. The application of such activities increases cooperation and competition in the classroom and stimulates students’ interest to the learning process.
Motivation is PERSONAL to each learner. How can we sustain it?
Good RAPPORT
PROFESSIONAL ATTITUDE
Enjoyable and challenging ACTIVITES
If students are agents of their own actions: LEARNER AUTONOMY
