About Me

My photo
I am a freelance teacher and translator with a 15-year experience, passionate about inventing new approaches and developing original lesson plans and study programs. I have a BA in Psychology and English (literature and language) and an MA in Special Education, which allows me to work with an especially wide range of students, including those with LDs. I use versatile interdisciplinary materials to expand my students' vocabulary and adjust the study program to the interests and professional needs of students. Motivation is the key to success, and I consider that one of my strongest sides: I know how to encourage active participation. This blog is a space for sharing materials, ideas and tips for English teachers and learners.

"Talking Cards"

I often use memory cards with all my students, and especially with LD students. Recently, I have decided that this method can be significantly improved by introducing technology: I send a WhatsApp message to my students with a picture of the word and right after it I send a voice message in which I read the word. Dyslectic students often misread and mispronounce complex words, and this simple technique helps to strengthen the association between the spelling and the sound of the word.
