Learn Strategies to grab student’s attention
As a high school ESL teacher, I understand the intricate dance of engaging students in an era where our traditional methods must compete with social media, video games, and smartphones. Our students are highly visual, social, and tactile, with shorter attention spans, demanding us to continuously adapt and innovate.
Fear not, for this blog was born from such challenges. Here, we offer a treasure trove of strategies, insightful tips, and specially curated educational materials that cater to our modern-day realities while complementing time-honored teaching methods. I've designed these resources to help you grab students' attention and stoke their curiosity for learning. Together, let's transform these challenges into opportunities and make our classrooms a hub of motivated learners.
“The teaching profession has become so challenging. It’s amazing what some of us go through in the classroom. We need a branch of psychotherapy devoted just for teachers. Until that happens, it just helps to know that you are not alone and you have all of my support!”
—Ms Blunt creator of “Edgy English”
Be the amazing teacher that you were always meant to be.
