'Making the transition to university teaching' is the title of Hall Houston's essay in More Than a Gap Year Adventure (https://lnkd.in/en2Wi9ve). This is an important text for those English teachers who are considering moving beyond entry-level language school roles. Hall describes how he managed to land university teaching jobs in Taiwan and Hong Kong. He talks about the benefits of working in a university setting and provides a lot of useful advice to those who would like to make progress in their career. If you've read the full essay, what did you think of it? Have you thought about moving to a university? Are there any interesting teaching opportunities in your country? 

🌞 Summer is here, and new olim are already hunting for the best way to learn Hebrew. So, here's why we think a private tutor won't help you, especially with speaking: At UAB, we've found that small group settings (6-10 students) are far more effective for learning Hebrew. Why? Because small groups offer: 1. Enhanced Interaction: More opportunities to practice speaking and engage in meaningful discussions. 2. Collaborative Learning: Exposure to diverse perspectives and collective problem-solving. 3. Increased Motivation: A supportive community boosts engagement and keeps you motivated. 4. Practical Application: Role-plays and group activities simulate real-life scenarios. 5. Immediate Feedback: Get instant feedback from peers and instructors to improve faster. Don't settle for one-on-one when you can thrive in a dynamic group setting. Learn more about our approach at UAB and join us this summer. 👉 Learn More: (https://lnkd.in/dZ75N6tH

Starting the year off with purpose in Grade 7 at Launceston Church Grammar School! 🚀 As we kick off 2024, we're not just setting goals, but envisioning the kind of year we want to create and the people we want to become. Our students embarked on this journey by reflecting on questions like: 🌟 What do you really want 2024 to feel like? 🎉 What are you excited about this year? 💡 What impact do you want to have at Grammar? 🏆 What wins would you like to be celebrating this time next year? 🧠 What character traits do you need to embody to kick those goals? 👤 What kind of person do you want to be this year? Witness some of the magic on our Wall of Intentions.

The student hailed from Norway, and I struggled to correctly pronounce her name. Despite my efforts, she kindly reassured me that many Americans have difficulty with her name as well. Throughout multiple courses together, I persistently attempted to get it right but never quite succeeded. Ensuring I accurately pronounce each student's name during class introductions is a crucial aspect of my teaching. I invite students to feel free to correct my mispronunciation both during introductions and later in the class if I mispronounce it again. With the exception of my Norwegian student, I typically manage to do so successfully. Intentionally addressing students by their names is a powerful method to establish a connection and demonstrate respect, especially at the beginning of a class. To do so, we must make the effort to learn student names, practice their names, and use those names frequently in the class. Learn more 2 live more.
