JOHNNY SANCHEZ Garcia
My American teaching methodologies are based on “situations-scenarios”
approach, and audio-visual pedagogy.
1. Audio-Visual Pedagogy
Research has shown that audio-visual approach could make language
learning process more effective.
Video lessons allow teachers to use visuals and audios as key teaching
tools to make the language points easier to memorize, and the learning
process more interesting and less daunting.
2. Situation-based Approach
Each lesson offers practical topics based on real-world scenarios. In
each lesson, specific topics are introduced in a variety of ways,
leading in to specific knowledge or grammar points. The aim is to
decrease difficulties, arouse the interest of students and make the
learning process more fun.
3. Induction Method
Through "typical" examples and scenarios, our teachers’ help students
induce language patterns, clarify language points, and master the
principals of the English language.
4. Substitution Drills
Each language point is accompanied by a variety of substitution drills,
helping the learners remember new words, phrases and grammar.
5. Opportunities to Practice
English teachers are committed to offering plenty of opportunities for
students to practice what they learned in the lessons. Design of
exercises is a key element for each lesson.
Professional teachers not only teach the courses, but also design the
curriculum to complement the video lessons:
Text – Review the dialogues or text materials covered in each lesson.
Vocabulary – Explanations and usages of the new words taught in each lesson.
Grammar – Detailed explanations of the English grammar covered in the
video lessons.
English Idioms – Learn how to read and write English Idioms.
Culture – Get tips about the culture connotations!
Notes – Take notes any time you want.
