Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas In the past, the emphasis on teaching a foreign language was, amongst other older techniques, Grammar-Translation, and is still used in some situation today.

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Music is a uniquely human characteristic. No other living creature can recreate frequencies, beats, pulses, and harmonies as we do.

A study showed that “elementary school students who listened to mood-calming music while completing mathematical problems were able to complete more problems and solve a higher percentage of them correctly than the group...  [Read more]
