Language Learning as a Path to Connection

Core Beliefs

Learning languages is not mere acquisition of vocabulary and grammar; it is a process of transformation enabling students to become socially competent individuals. My core beliefs are grounded in the notion that language learning is best achieved through active and meaningful interactions. Learners not only build language proficiency through collaborative activities but also develop intercultural competencies.

My Role

I view myself as a guide and facilitator to foster a classroom atmosphere that promotes interactions and self-explorations. I encourage students to take ownership of their learning by creating both a supportive and challenging learning environment. My role is to scaffold students’ development helping them move from what they can do with support to what they can achieve independently.

Active Classes

Through the engagement of collaborative project-based tasks, my students engage in meaningful activities that require contextualized authentic language use. Through peer interactions, students are enabled to negotiate meaning, practice output, and receive feedback to modify their language production.

Aim

My aim as an educator is to cultivate a classroom community where students are both challenged and empowered to express and evolve together. Through this lens, language learning becomes more than a mere academic pursuit, but a pathway to creativity and collaboration.
