Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas A book is an important source of knowledge and “knowledge is power”. There is no doubt that reading is beneficial to everyone. Shakespeare said, “Book is the nourishment of the world, life without books, as if the earth without sunshine; wisdom without books, just as birds without winds”. Reading builds a good foundation to improve both speaking and writing skills since the more we read the more vocabulary we have available for us to use when we speak or write. This way we could better express our thoughts. Also, the more we read, the broader our knowledge base, and thus the more resources we have when we are dealing with problems. Francis Bacon said, “Reading gives a person with pleasure, give a person with light, give a person with the...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Parents are the first teachers a child interacts with, from age zero to around three or four years when the child is exposed to early childhood education at schools. The parent role at this point is very critical for educating the child in; the culture of the society, religion of the family, the first language of the family and educational mentors among the family. Infants at this age are normally very keen on the happenings on the surrounding, and so they tend to model the behavior of the parents or the caregivers. Parents can help the infants feel secure and protected by playing with them. Infants can learn to build social connections when the parents let them be held by other people when they are around. All these activities are geared at...  [Read more]

Ahmed Taha Alumni Experiences What is effective learning? After context and objectives have been developed, the word "effective" makes sense. When is it most effective? What is it that makes it effective? Who is it that says this? The students? The teacher? Learning is a reflective process that allows a learner to use prior experience to understand and analyze the present in order to influence potential behavior and form new information. (Watkins, p.1, 2002) Some meanings of learning consider it to be a passive method of knowledge acquisition that is evaluated by tasks. Learning is a process that requires both reflection and assessment. The model can be used to explain the process of a single learner actively making sense of a learning opportunity or a community of learners working...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas In a world where communication is the most important thing and language - your own or a second (even third or fourth) - grammar seems to be overlooked by people as unimportant.
