One of the experiences I´ve been passing through when teaching conversation is that when you use cards with questions, specially with subjects of the interest of the student, they get involved and speak more than in a simple reading, for example. So, this is a good tip: Prepare simple cards with questions about a selected subject, like culture, family, health, etc. If you can use pictures, it´ll be very helpful.

You can enter in this website and have a long list of questions: www.iteslj.org/questions

My mission

I´m an English teacher from Brazil that has been working with different ages, social and educational levels. I also worked in regular school with kids from the age 0f 4 until the age of 17. I´ve also worked in language schools and nowadays I´ve been working with private students.

Because I´ve passed for so many situations and sometimes I didn´t have anybody to help me, I dedicate this blog to help teachers around the world to solve doubts and prepar English classes to teach ESL students. As learning is a two-way street, I hope to grow in knowledge as I help my friends with their doubts.

It was said once that the more you share, the more you have. This is what I hope it happens.

So, hands at work!!!!
