How has #Instagram changed the way we learn and teach #English? 🤔 One aspect that's worth discussing is the rise of so-called "influencer teachers" who have gained popularity on the platform. But what about their #qualifications and #quality of teaching? 🤔 Another question to ponder is the level of interactivity on this platform. Is it a form of active or passive learning? 🤔 As an English language teacher with over 20 years of experience, I have some thoughts on this topic. Let's start a conversation in the comments! And feel free to DM me for more on what I do. #languagelearning #teaching #education

90% Of Students Love English Teachers. I finally understood why. When I was in school, in literally all my classes, English teachers were my favorite. I wondered what it was about them, Which made them so special for all children. I finally understood and came to an answer. It's because they told stories. Unlike math & science teachers who only taught theory, English teachers taught us lessons through stories. That's what made their classes so fun, at least for me. And that's exactly what we need to do when we also make content, Be it on LinkedIn, X, Instagram, or YouTube. So, how can you incorporate storytelling in your posts? → Instead of facts, weave a narrative. → Use conversations & examples for relatability. → Don't be afraid to share your personal experiences. Storytelling is a powerful tool that can help you connect with your audience more deeply. Which subject teachers were your favorite in school? (I hope no math or science teachers read this hahaha) PS: If you are a CXO/Founder/Coach looking to grow your brand online through storytelling, hit me up with a DM. Let's get on a call!

An aspiring advertiser who accidently stumbled upon the world of wordsmiths, but found unexpected joy in crafting content and pretending like a professional problem solver!
LinkedIn is my new English Teacher. I'm not exactly Shakespeare when it comes to English. In fact, I'd say my English is more like a Google Translate version of Shakespeare. 🤷♂️ But, I'm getting better, thanks to LinkedIn. Yes, LinkedIn! Not an expensive language course, not a private tutor, but good old LinkedIn. Who knew this professional networking site could also double as a language school? Every post I read, every comment I make, every connection I add, it's all a part of my English improvement journey. And the best part? No homework, no exams, just pure learning at my own pace. 🙌 So here's to LinkedIn, the unexpected language teacher, helping me conquer English one post at a time. And who knows? Maybe one day I'll be writing posts in perfect English! P.s. Until then, bear with me and my Google Translate English. 😅

Hey there, I'm Saeed Ahmed Rajput, a content writer, and I've got a super cool trick to help you stand out from the crowd and beat your competition. It's simple but super effective – always give a little extra. Think about it – who doesn't love getting something for free? Let me share a story from my time as a English teacher. When I started, I didn't just stick to regular English classes. I went the extra mile: 1. Bonus Workshops: I organized extra workshops to teach more about English. 2. One-on-One Sessions: I gave personalized attention in one-on-one sessions. 3. Personalized English Plans: I provided personalized learning plans for each person. 4. Free Advice: I spent an extra 15 minutes after class giving free advice on english and boost confidence. 5. Surprise Gifts: Sometimes, I even surprised my students with gifts like English Learning books. This extra effort didn't just make my students happy; it turned me into a trusted teacher instead of just a English teacher. The result? Happy students who stuck around, became loyal, and even paid more for my services. And guess what? As a thank you, I've got something free for you – a FREE FACE ENGLISH Workshop to celebrate the launch of my English Teaching brand, PRO FIRO. So, let's take that extra step together and make your journey a success!

𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐘 𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐓𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐄 𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐑’𝐒 𝐃𝐀𝐘! "𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐚 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫?!" - 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐡 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝 🎊 Let's dive into understanding more about teacher Tranh through the sharing of our Teacher on the occasion of November 20th! 💐 🔹 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐡: Three years ago, I began teaching English, a path seemingly foretold when a fortune teller hinted at my teaching potential! 😅 Growing up in an academically inclined family of educators, I initially resisted the idea of teaching. However, fate intervened when my sick aunt, an English teacher, sought my help teaching elementary school kids. Agreeing to assist her marked my unexpected entry into the teaching profession, a journey that continues today. 😚 🔸 𝐇𝐞𝐲 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡: Tranh, do you have any memorable stories or experiences during your English teaching journey that you'd like to share? 🔹 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐡: I don't have any particularly extraordinary experiences. What's most memorable for me in this teaching journey is building good relationships with colleagues and students I've taught, as well as creating a safe and positive space where they can confidently make mistakes without feeling pressured. 😄 🔸 𝐇𝐞𝐲 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡: Through this conversation, Tranh, please send a meaningful message to the Hey English learners! 🔹 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐡: Do it for the plot! 💪 You're the main character of your life. Every moment, whether good or bad, is a point in the plot leading to a bigger story. You're the writer, the director, and the star of your own life. Start living unapologetically, and give them a plot twist that no one saw coming. A profound message has been sent. Buddy, let's embrace the message from teacher Tranh together with Hey! 💕 ___ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗛𝗲𝘆 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗹: [email protected] 𝗛𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲: (+84) 28 3535 4027 #HeyEnglish #talkenglish #englishspeakingapp #Happyteachersday

Be the Change You Want to See If you want your students to read, make time for reading and read yourself. I start my lessons with 5- 10 minutes of silent reading. Why? - It makes the transition from their language to English easier. - It shows them that I believe reading helps them learn English. - It builds confidence in their ability to learn English. - It is great revision of the language they have learned in a communicative context. - It develops their ability to focus and imagine. I don’t know where I got this image. I have a file of such images about education that I go through once a month. They are a great reminder of what I believe as a teacher. How important is reading for you as a teacher?
