Do you want to make learning fun? If yes, then you need to think out of the box. You want to encourage your students to learn. One of the best ways to make education fun is by coming up with attractive classroom bulletin boards that enhance what they are studying, whether it is literature, nature's elements, sociology, history, math, etc.
 

Whether you teach children or adults, teaching ESL grammar and vocabulary in a fun and effective way can be so tough sometimes, can't it? Lesson planning for grammar concepts can definitely be a challenge.

Well, today's post is about how to deal with exactly that! I'm going to share my top 5 ways to use games in the ESL classroom. 

Erika graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 2016 with a Bachelor of Arts in French and Political Science (with a World Politics focus) and a certificate in African Studies. As an undergraduate, she spent a semester abroad in Rabat, Morocco and Dakar, Senegal, taking courses in French and Colloquial Moroccan Arabic, which sparked her passion for education abroad. She recently finished a contract as an English Language Assistant in Créteil, France, and is looking to apply this experience in a new position related to education abroad. 

Do something adventurous this summer: volunteer your skills in West Africa

"Education is a human right with immense power to transform."

The Street Child International Teacher Training Programme will give you a chance to get hands-on with education work, travel to some of the most remote parts of Sierra Leone and Liberia, and discover beautiful West Africa.

Traditionally, tests and examinations evaluate how students perform in terms of learning outcome. However in a learner-centred education system, it is more important to monitor students' learning processes and to give them direct feedback.
