As English language teachers, we know how challenging it can be for our students to learn and use new language. One effective way to help them understand and remember these language items is by providing them with a clear context and clarification. In this episode, I explore the reasons why contextualizing and clarifying language is crucial for successful language learning. I discuss how context helps students make connections between words and their meanings, and how clarification can clear up confusion and prevent misunderstandings. I also share some practical tips and strategies for contextualizing and clarifying language in your lessons. From using real-life examples to visual aids, you'll learn how to create a supportive learning environment that promotes language acquisition and mastery. Thank for watching and listening!

In this episode, I am stirring the pot again... nothing new. It's starts out with a reflection from my mentoring sessions and then dives into critically looking at some ads for "English Acquisition Mentors". I bet you can already feel my eyes rolling at the advertisement. Have a listen as I read word for word the empty promises and remark. Thank for watching and listening!
