TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
My teaching philosophy centers around the belief that language acquisition is most effective when students
are actively engaged in the learning process. I utilize Total Physical Response (TPR), which combines
physical movement with language learning, to help students internalize vocabulary and grammar structures.
Additionally, I incorporate a variety of engaging activities that promote interaction, collaboration, and real-
world application of language skills, ensuring that students not only learn but also enjoy the process of
learning English.
