Ill be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green christmas tree

But I'll have a blue, blue blue blue christmas
[Instrumental]
Youll be doin all right, with your christmas of white,
But I'll have a blue, blue christmas
Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share And no one dared Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools" said I "You do not know, silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you" But my words like silent raindrops fell And echoed In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the signs said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls And whisper'd in the sounds of silenceWriter/s: PAUL SIMON Publisher: Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Universal Music Publishing Group Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
I have been teaching English to speakers of other languages for over 25 years. I have been coaching both face-to-face and in blended learning arrangements. In 2010 I
became a Premium Online English Teacher, since that time I have been specializing in
Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). Utilizing new technologies makes my teaching more efficient and pleasurable.
I highly appreciate an interaction as well as cooperation with my students from Amazing Talker.
P21's Framework for 21st Century Learning was
developed with input from teachers, education experts, and business
leaders to define and illustrate the skills and knowledge students need
to succeed in work, life and citizenship, as well as the support systems
necessary for 21st century learning outcomes. It has been used by
thousands of educators and hundreds of schools in the U.S. and abroad to
put 21st century skills at the center of learning.
The P21 Framework represents both 21st century student outcomes (as represented by the arches of the rainbow) and support systems (as represented by the pools at the bottom).
Learning and Innovation Skills: Learning and
innovation skills increasingly are being recognized as the skills that
separate students who are prepared for increasingly complex life and
work environments in the 21st century, and those who are not. A focus on
creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration is
essential to prepare students for the future.
Our community is no longer just the area of space located
around the school, but reaches out and envelopes the world.
Education needs to help students take part in this global community
and find ways of impacting more than just their neighborhood. This
doesn’t mean that they do not need to learn the value of helping others
around them and protecting their immediate environment, but that they
should also be learning about how they can help and protect a world further away from them, but also closer all the time.
Are you nervous about communicating in English with
foreign colleagues?
Do you throw a full command of English, but feel like
your flexibility may be lacking?
Would you like to memorize how to sound more natural
when making little talk and talking about problems?
Do you feel the need to improve your
conversational skills?
If you answered "YES" to any of
these questions, then link up right off!
I give English one to one tutoring classes
as well as ONLINE English Courses.
I realize what YOU need to succeed in
English. I know the essential skills you need to grow to suit an active
communicator in English.
My classes are for students who want to
use a most proficient approach to get fluent in English fast by practicing
English Skills. Training is a subconscious process and is faster than conscious
learning.
Being
able to put across effectively is the most important of all life sciences.
Communication
is merely the act of transferring information from one place to another,
whether this is vocal,written, visually
or non-verbally (using body language, gestures and the tone and pitch of the
voice).
How
well this information can be transmitted and received is a measure of how good
our communication skills are.
Developing
your English communication skills can facilitate all facets of your life, from
your professional heart to social gatherings and everything in between.
Formal methods of learning English exemplify
passive learning with a limited success rate. I steadfastly trust in Active
Learning of English Skills which is much more efficient than passive learning.
These are the main disadvantages of passive English learning
1. The major weakness of passive education is that it splits the language
into different components – reading, writing, listening, grammar, and
pronunciation – which you try to learn separately.
2. When learners are not actively involved in the class, they continue to
think in their native language. Whatever the instructor explains to them, they
try to interpret it in their mother tongue. It gets virtually impossible to
process the information intuitively or spontaneously.
3. Because learners aren’t taught to think in English, they are unable to
communicate in English.
Active learning helps students start
speaking English confidently in less than a year.
Active learning is more than just listening: it involves the active
participation of pupils. They must use the language all the time and be
emotionally involved in the process.
We need the conversion from
Passive Learning to Active Training English Skills
As a language teacher, I use all kinds of
tricks just because making students speak and building their self-confidence in
keeping the conversation going is the most essential for me.
When I teach Polish, my foreigners and I have to speak only Polish, and also my
English classes are run entirely in English. I train without a bridge language.
This means they are required to forget about native language and start talking
as well as intending in a foreign linguistic communication. Thinking in a
foreign language, this is just what I want my learners to achieve.
My students read the words in different contexts, mostly singing phrases,
expressions, collocations, idiomatic expressions, phrasal verbs also telling
tales. Moreover, I inspire them to talk to everybody, even to themselves in a
foreign language. Consequently, theycan communicate as well as discuss
a variety of beautiful narrations.
Many teachers spend most of their time altering each other’s errors.
Nevertheless, I correct only fundamentalerrors, as I
don’t want students to stop talking. I also encourage my learners to listen to
songs, watch movies with subtitles in a language they learn, read a lot and so
forth.
1. The most important is to deliver
comprehensible input. We improve the language when we understand it.
I am very much against the support in the
native language.
2. Learners spend more time
dynamically speaking English when we convert them, for influencing pupils.
I also produce an environment for gaining all language skills – reading,
listening, talking, writing, and pronunciation at the same time. Learners experience everyday situations again entirely
in English.
3. The mobile is an obvious
choice for delivering information. It gives students access to reading material
both in the form of educational activity and after the course of a written report. It covers support for sharing
sessions with friends or teachers, which is essential for digital learners.
The lessons added by a teacher allow building an active connection between everyone.
As a result, I as an English teacher
achieve a perpetual change from passive learning to the active, improving
English skills.
Want to know what you need to build an effective Blended Learning Classroom? Check the 6 essential elements of an effective Blended Learning Classroom.
Effective communication between the teacher and students needs to be established to achieve improved learning outcomes in a blended learning program. There should be an adequate exchange of queries and feedback with regular classroom discussions. Teachers can provide their contact information and encourage students to communicate in case of queries and concerns to establish a favorable rapport. Toward the end of a course, they can also engage learners in live or online surveys, evaluations, and opinions on the quality of the course and its delivery.
Providing regular and constructive feedback is an important element of effective communication. By opening up lines of communication, teachers can indicate the availability of a perennial support system.
A Well-Trained Teacher
A blended learning course necessitates the proper teacher training to facilitate optimal learning. They must understand student needs and accordingly design courses. Effective blended-learning professional training must include instructional approaches that are based on understanding student perspectives. By encouraging teachers to experience blended learning as learners, they receive the first-hand experience that’s required to create relevant and interactive content for students.
Since blended classrooms can be difficult to plan and manage, teachers must also be trained in management strategies tailored for such classrooms. They must be well-versed with the technology required to execute blended learning, and thus need training on software and hardware management as well.
