The title of my post might appear very far from education but even while having fun and resting, I learnt usefull things that I would like to share with every one. My journey to Dubai showed me the importance of using L2 in real life communication. In this country, people from diverse backgrounds live together so they use English language as a common global one. This makes it a necessity for everyone to learn the language in order to communicate with others. Using the language for such a purpose really helps people learn it easily and acquire a lot of new words. What we can take from this as teachers is that students need to be guided in order to set their purposes behind learning the language. By doing so, they'll be strongly motivated to exert the needed effort to reach their goals and this will make them feel that learning English is meaningful and useful to them.

This must also begin from early ages and enabling pupils to master around five...

As a novice teacher, I'm experiencing how different the life of a teacher is than that of a student and this is what makes me now understand how important the roles of our instructors are. This job requires a lot of patience and hard effort and what a teacher must mainly have is the passion to teach. That's why, individuals must never decide to become teachers unless they have this passion and patience because students have the right to be taught by inspiring and enthusiastic teachers. What made me say this is what I have seen in my school where I found some teachers who complain everyday because they hate teaching. In my opinion, this is one of the worst crimes that could ever happen because choosing to teach just to take money doesn't serve the goals of learning and teaching. Because of that, we mu...
