Do you want to teach your children about sustainability and environmental issues in a fun and engaging way? If so, you might be interested in Eco-Friendly English, a new approach to language learning that integrates sustainability education in early childhood. Eco-Friendly English is based on the idea that children can learn English better when they are exposed to meaningful and relevant topics that connect them to the natural world and their communities. By using Eco-Friendly English, you can help your children develop their language skills as well as their awareness and appreciation of the environment. Some of the activities that you can do with Eco-Friendly English are: - Reading books and stories that feature environmental themes and characters - Singing songs and rhymes that celebrate nature and diversity - Playing games and puzzles that challenge children to think critically and creatively about sustainability issues - Making crafts and art projects that use recycled and natural materials - Exploring and observing the outdoors and learning about plants, animals and ecosystems - Participating in community projects and events that promote sustainability and social justice Eco-Friendly English is not only beneficial for children, but also for parents and educators. By using Eco-Friendly English, you can learn more about sustainability and environmental issues yourself, and share your knowledge and values with your children. You can also network and collaborate with other parents and educators who are interested in Eco-Friendly English, and exchange ideas and resources. Eco-Friendly English is a great way to make language learning fun, meaningful and impactful for children and adults alike. If you want to learn more about Eco-Friendly English, visit our website or follow us on social media. We hope you join us in this exciting journey of Eco-Friendly English! #EcoFriendlyEnglish #SustainabilityEducation #EarlyChildhoodEducation #EarlyChildhoodDevelopment #LanguageLearning

🌟 My Journey as an ESL Teacher: From Passion to Profession 🌟 My journey to becoming an ESL teacher has been shaped by countless experiences that allowed me to grow both personally and professionally. From playing "teacher-teacher" as a young girl to volunteering as a Sunday school teacher, I've always had a passion for helping others learn and grow. High school ignited my love for languages while studying German, leading me to spend a year as an au pair in Germany. When COVID-19 struck, I had to assist with schoolwork, deepening my interest in education and languages. Returning home, I pursued a degree in Psychology & Linguistics at the University of Cape Town and discovered i-to-i TEFL courses. Investing in a 300-hour course, I was eager to start teaching. Initially, setting up a profile and making an introduction video was daunting. However, I realized that fear is natural and the only way to overcome it is by taking action. So, in early 2023, I finally set up my teaching profile on AmazingTalker and Preply. Starting with just $5 per lesson, my schedule quickly filled up. Juggling teaching, university, extracurriculars, and part-time work was challenging but rewarding. It's been six months since I have fully dedicated myself to teaching ESL online, conducting over 1,000 lessons. Every interaction and success achieved has solidified my passion for teaching English as a second language. I find immense fulfilment in seeing my students progress and succeed. Advice for Aspiring ESL Teachers: ▶ Don’t Be Afraid to Start: Embrace the journey with confidence. ▶ Start Small: Begin with manageable goals and gradually expand your teaching hours. ▶ Stay Adaptable: Be flexible in your teaching approach. ▶ Continuous Learning: Always seek out new methods and resources. Teaching ESL has not only allowed me to grow financially but has also enriched my understanding and appreciation of different cultures and learning styles. I’m excited for the next 1,000 lessons and beyond. 🚀 Here’s to many more lessons and learning experiences ahead! What challenges have you faced in your teaching journey? Share your experiences in the comments! #ESLTeacher #EducationJourney #LanguageLearning #TeachingPassion #ContinuousImprovement

Will your teaching life drastically change if you join the Kids Club English Teacher Community? Errmmmm….probably not. BUT here’s what has changed for the current members….. ✨ Less searching around for ideas they’re not sure will work or not. They have the opportunity to share ideas and discuss them with people they trust (and save time in the process!) ✨ Less feeling alone. They know they have a lovely community of like-minded teachers around them that are willing to share inspiration, help out with doubts, or discuss things with. ✨ Less feeling stuck doing the same old thing. They have regular inspiration for new thoughts and perspectives without having to reinvent the wheel. ✨ More confidence with using crafts in the classroom. No more worrying about how to do this or that or whether x, y, z will work - They just ask the community and get the answers they want. ✨ More useful, engaging activities that they can use on those uninspired days. If they’re stuck for an idea for a lesson, the Show and Tell live videos will usually give them something practical to do. They can always ask too. ✨ More development of teaching skills. It’s difficult to fit in training and development in a busy teaching life, but now they have bite-sized ways of honing their skills and experiment with new techniques and approaches. Webinars and Teacher interviews are on THEIR requested topics, and the informal way of sharing thoughts through the Show and Tell lives and Question Corner discussion helps us all develop ourselves as teachers. ❓Are these any changes you would like for yourself?

This is my goal in life…I am all for making ESL teacher’s lives better and easier to bring back the joy in ESL teaching! I am sure you will agree. In my webinar, I am going to expose one big lie that stops far too many ESL teachers from using graphic organizers to improve their ESL students reading comprehension. This topic is sure to delight you because there are many myths about graphic organizers. The lies are: 1️⃣ graphic organizers are too hard to make. 2️⃣ graphic organizers too hard to learn from. 3️⃣ they are not the norm in English classes. So you should register for a short webinar to learn techniques that will prove to you how easy and beneficial it is to use graphic organizers in your ESL classes. https://lnkd.in/g2RWcpJS Not only will you receive the replay recording after the event, but you will also be able to download a document with 40+ reading passages that use graphic organizers as their comprehension exercises. Besides all that, you don’t have to leave your desk (or be like me and watch the webinar on your smart TV!) with a coffee or your favourite beverage. And lastly you will have a whole new tool kit to use for your next semester!
