English Teachers, I know that it's the holidays for a little bit longer and you're probably trying to enjoy your time off and not think about lesson plans just yet. But how amazing would it feel to start the new school year knowing that you're doing something to not only help your learners get better results this year, but also help you understand English pronunciation on a deeper level and to feel totally confident teaching it? The next pronunciation masterclass is happening next week and we'll be focussing on activities to help you teach connected speech - we'll discuss which aspects are important for your learners (and which can be ignored!) and by the end of the session you'll have at least 3 activities you can use in your classroom without any more preparation time. There's an investment to save your seat, you can choose whether to sign up for all four sessions at once, or pay monthly. There'll be a recording of the call, as well as a document with all the activities explained and laid out for your use, sent out after the session.

Teaching always implies carefully choosing the purposes that matter. It’s not referred to materials, tools and strategies but to goals and, above all, to meaning. What makes sense when teaching a foreign language? What does the language serve the learners for? How can we better match their needs and our settled intentions? Here we have a valuable speech on what to focus on when teaching English pronunciación. Highly recommended both for teachers and learners 🤓👌🏻 https://lnkd.in/ehGbnUmZ

How do you feel about your pronunciation? You may have seen some information about my Pronunciation MasterClass series for teachers, to help you feel confident teaching English pronunciation to your own learners. But you may feel like you can't teach pronunciation because you don't feel proud of the way you speak. I'd love to help you feel so confident and comfortable with your own pronunciation that you enjoy teaching pronunciation to your own learners. Get in touch to arrange a call, simply comment below or DM me with the words 'CONFIDENT PRONUNCIATION' and we'll arrange a free 15-minute call to discuss your current situation and the next best steps to help you move towards your goals. #englishpronunciation #feelproud #englishteachers #excellenceinenglisheducation

Teaching English is an art 

You might be thinking that you don't need to know about connected speech. You never use it. So why worry about teaching to your students? It's true, as learners of English, your students (and you perhaps) may never use certain aspects of connected speech in your spoken English. However, if you or your students ever interact with a proficient speaker, they will be using it, probably without even being aware of it. Which means, you need to be able to understand what's being said. When you understand the rules and how English changes in certain ways, it's simple to comprehend fluent speakers. Want to feel more comfortable knowing the essentials to teach your students next term? Join us at our next Teacher's Pronunciation MasterClass. It's on Wednesday 21st August and we'll be focussing on activities to help you teach connected speech - we'll discuss which aspects are important for your learners (and which can be ignored!) and by the end of the session you'll have at least 3 activities you can use in your classroom without any more preparation time. There's an investment to save your seat, you can choose whether to sign up for all four sessions at once, or pay monthly. There'll be a recording of the call, as well as a document with all the activities explained and laid out for your use, sent out after the session.

One of the most effective and impactful methods in teaching English is emphasizing pronunciation as a fundamental skill. It serves as a cornerstone for helping learners improve their language abilities with greater ease. The workshop was a true revelation for me, showcasing the value of what I’m learning and teaching. It reinforced my belief that focusing on pronunciation, along with the strategies presented, is an essential step in guiding students to develop their English skills more naturally and confidently. This experience has deepened my appreciation for how pronunciation can enhance the overall learning journey. #teachingEnglishAsia #ASEANTeachingEnglishOnlineConference #BritishCouncil #AdrianUnderhillspronunciation

Teenagers can sometimes be a tough crowd and not respond as well as we want to the activities we propose. However, when they really engage with lessons they are all in. So how can we actually engage teens? In this vlog, Rubens Heredia shares five suggestions on how to grab and maintain teens’ attention in English lessons: https://lnkd.in/d8tPbqef #TeachingEnglish #Teenagers #TeachingTeenagers #ELT #ProfessionalDevelopment #SecondarySchool #HighSchool
