My interests
Personal goals for this semester
What I try to do is to take all chances to practice it. I try to watch t.v. in English and set all my electronic devices in English so I can get used to it.
Related to pedagogy I always try to get my students' feedback so I can adapt classes and lessons, to the students' needs.
I also try to plan dynamic classes by using technology.
Sharing is another tool that helps me to incorporate new strategies in my teaching.
I love all related to teaching and learning specially a second language, I think there are many ways to learn a language and there is not a best one. The best one is the one that suits you according to your needs.
Personal
I'm a 26 year old teacher, wife, swimmer and piano player. I love my life and I am a religious person
