Philosophy of Teaching

I believe that each student is exceptional and can contribute something special to their education. As I reflect on the most valued teaching philosophies, they would be as follows:
1. providing a suitable and a safe learning environment so that students can practice skills.
2. motivating students to be real language users and language enthusiasts.
3. developing students' digital literacy skills, by blending the content of my lessons with educational technologies.
4. employing recent methods of teaching and applying recent pedagogy in teaching.
5. trying to use diverse ways of teaching and treatment to ensure that all the students get equal chances.
