I've been teaching, training, and creating content in English language teaching for the past fifteen years. In WizIQ, I design and run free and open courses for teachers and students around the world. Please check out the songs and videos I make as Fluency MC and follow and connect with me here in WizIQ. It's all about how far we REACH when we TEACH!
In my experience, the best way to build a base of knowledge in a foreign language is to follow the 3Rs: Relax, Repeat, Remember. When activities are engaging and provide multiple exposures to target language, we're more likely to remember language with accuracy and use it with fluency. We can then build upon this base to achieve our communicative goals.
I've spent the past several years networking and collaborating with amazing online teachers around the globe. I'm excited to showcase their talents in the virtual classrooms of WizIQ. I hope you'll join us!
