ESL winter session 2018..WHAT IS TO COME!!!

Well GOOD MORNING!

 

I have just removed the information concerning the ESL classes

offered  for the 2018 winter session.

The only thing I am keeping is this image

that I found this past fall on Google images.

 It got my attention and I decided to use it!

 

 

 

WHY DO YOU ASK?

There are three principal reasons

why I loooove this idea or prediction
of 'making friends with...'

I think that it is based on reality and

 I'm talking here about facts.

 

Number one fact: my experience as a teacher.

Some of you students have really become friends

 in the classroom and outside of it also.

You are present and helpful and love

 to encourage your fellow classmates

in their own need to achieve their personal goals.

 I love to see you being open to this mutual experience.

 It makes me feel really great as a teacher
 and also as a person!!!

 

Number two fact: you are meeting native speakers of English

 and embracing this adventure.

 You are open to speaking English the best way you can

because you have found confidence in the way
 you personally express  your thouhgts and opinions
using  this second language.

 No more running away from these opportunities ;)

They are real life experiences  and they are often
unexpected situations you find yourself in.

You are open to "I know I can do this!"

WHO KNOWS, you maybe could meet potential friends.

 

Number three fact: well it's more of a personal experience.

 I too as a teacher have met some really great persons

through the ESL sessions and  we have also become friends.

This is one of the best parts of teaching and coaching!

 

I love English!

I love teaching ...

I love teaching English

and even more,

I love my students!

 

See you all next Tuesday and Wednesday

 for another exciting  and LOVEly ten-week winter session.

 

As always,

SUZANNE

 COMING UP NEXT WEEK: your dictionary is your BEST FRIEND

And it is DATED and TITLED.

 

On the RIGHT SIDE: there are TOOLS to help you practice

the WINTER classes are over BUTTTT...

Hi there dear students !!

The 2017 winter session classes have finished.

This is just a short note to let you know that

I will be back soon.

 

In a few weeks I'll have the time to write to you

about the important summer activities

 that you can engage in and commit to 

 to continue your learning of the English language.

 

I have some great ideas that I will share with you!

For now we are all taking a little break!

But I bet that you are really missing the classes and

your classmates and your teacher also ;)

 

SEE YOU SOON!

SUZANNE

ENGLISH CLASSES HAVE STARTED!!

The ESL (English Second Language) classes have started!

WELCOME and WELCOME BACK!!

To all you students – ‘old’ and new!!

Each group has welcomed some new students!

I surely like what I see and I feel very confident

about the dynamics of each group!

Well things have started off with a bang!

That is with much excitement and enthusiasm.

And I’m talking about the teacher ;)

Celebrating Valentine’s Day holiday,

this past week was especially fun!!!

A team activity that took the form of

a scavenger hunt.

WOW!!! What a project!
 

Teachers, in general, have to be the best organisers in the world. And I as a teacher, just happen to have the best students in the world to accomplish this very ambitious project ;) which seemed to please you all!

I had loads of fun and so did you!! Maybe a little stress and anxiety… but all worth it. 

        I am a very proud teacher!

 

Every type of activity was included.

YOU learned to follow directions, you wrote,

you composed, you learnt new vocabulary,
especially about LOVE and its uses.

You spoke English during the activity,… ummm???

You created a homemade card and

finally, the best of all, you sang in English!
 

To conclude, I would like to tell you

that you and I are partners

 in this learning process.

We will work together at your success!!!

SUZANNE
