關於我

我是一名以英语为母语的人，在葡萄牙生活了四十年。虽然我出生于希腊，但我一直接受的是英式教育，并且终生都说英语。过去二十年来，我一直从事英语作为第二语言的教学工作，我的葡萄牙语非常流利，没有任何外国口音。我引以为豪的是，我坚持完全用英语授课，不仅在课堂上避免使用葡萄牙语，而且坚持要求学生不要翻译任何技术性材料，例如语法结构。我发现这是一种更有效的学习方法，因为翻译这些内容只会让学生感到困惑。此外，我的课堂以学生为中心，教师讲课时间极少，而学生发言时间则尽可能多。I am a native English speaker having lived in Portugal for forty years. Despite being born in Greece, i have always had a British education and spoken English my whole life. I have been a second language English teacher for the last twenty years and speak fluent Portuguese with no foreign-sounding accent. I pride myself in giving lessons exclusively in English, and make a point of not only avoiding using the Portuguese language in lessons, but insist that students do not translate any aspect of technically-orientated material such as grammatical structures. This, I find is a more effective way of learning as translating this aspect only confuses students. This is paired with student-orientated lessons where the teacher talking time is minimal and student talking time is maximised.

關於我的課程

我认为学习语言最有效的方法是实践应用。学习语法和词汇固然重要，但如果不能将其应用于口语和流利度练习，对学生的帮助就微乎其微。一般来说，学生的水平越高，课堂上的口语练习就越多。我喜欢我的课程生动有趣，更重要的是，充满乐趣。根据我的经验，学生越放松，就越容易集中注意力，积极提问，从而更好地学习。为什么不寓教于乐呢？I believe the most effective way of learning a language is through practical application. Studying grammar and vocabulary is just as important, but if these are not applied to the speaking and fluency element, they will do little to help a student. As a general rule, the higher the student's level, the more speaking practice is done in lessons. I like to think my lessons are dynamic and more importantly fun. In my experience, the more relaxed a student is, the more receptive he/she is to learning through naturally paying attention and asking questions. Why not have fun while we learn?
