  • Social Media German GCSE Listening Lesson Practice

    GCSE German Social Networks & Daily Technology Listening Lesson

    GCSE German Social Media Listening Lesson Revision and Practice I needed a social networks and technology listening lesson for my GCSE German students whilst on lock-down. However, I couldn’t find any suitable resources. Ideally, I was looking for listening practice materials covering the themes of different social networks. For example, Facebook, Whats App, Instagram and YouTube. Since I couldn’t find any suitable social media audio clips for German intermediate level students, I created my own!ย  This GCSE German Social Media and Technology in Every Day Life listening lesson is perfect for independent work! So, complete this GCSE social networks and technology listening lesson practice as homework, revision, distance learning work…

  • How To Improve Your Reading Skills in 4 Easy Steps – Language Learners

    Want To Know How To Improve Reading Skills, Language Learners? (You’re in the right place!) I adore teaching languages and often my students ask me for suggestions on how to improve reading skills and develop their vocabulary. I like the question, since reading is one of the four main skills when learning a language and you’re always going to need words to communicate! I tell them to go and read whatever they can find and are interested in. This is supported by Nuttall who states that โ€œan extensive reading programmeโ€ฆis the single most effective way of improving both vocabulary and reading skills in generalโ€ (1982, p.65) One of the ways…

    21 Must-Use Reading Activities For Your Language Lessons

    Fun Pre-Reading and Post-Reading Activities for All Language Classrooms I love language lessons which involve an element of reading. This is because there are so many opportunities for learning and improving language acquisition with topic-related texts. Reading activities are the perfect starting point to learn rich topic-related vocabulary (adjectives, nouns, verbs etc), pick up new grammar structures,ย steal ‘star phrases’ย and ultimately improve comprehension and improve language acquisition skills. According to Moeller & Meyer (1995), reading, even at a slow pace exposes students to more sentences, grammar, and new vocabulary per minute than the average short class, TV show, or song. So, if you are in a rut with how you present…

    Reading Summary Challenge with A Twist – Tip Of The Week 8

    Would an activity for reading comprehension be useful for your language classes next week? If so, this week’s teaching tip of the week ‘Reading Summary Challenge’ could be just for you! Reading Summary Challenge with a Twist Today’s teaching activity of the week is a reading summary activity with a twist. It is particularly useful for getting students to focus when reading a short article or passages of text. What’s more is that you can easily use it with beginners, intermediate and advanced learners. I used this reading summary activity with my Level 1 ESOL (English to Speakers of Other Languages) learners in my language classroom this week. The students…

About

TheIdealTeacher.comJe me prรฉsente!

Hi! I’m Sabina – an insanely passionate, qualified French and German teacher and tutor, as well as an experienced EFL teacher. I have over 13 years teaching experience in private, online, secondary and further education settings. I LOVE TEACHING LANGUAGES AND SEEING MY STUDENTS’ CONFIDENCE IMPROVE!

How do I help my language students and tutees?

* assess their current strengths and weaknesses and personalise each lesson to their needs
* develop students’ confidence from the first lesson
* improve exam skills
* develop communication skills (speaking, listening & translation)
* build vocabulary and grammar knowledge in a simple way
* … and whatever else they want to work on!

Who do I teach?

* Beginner to advanced EFL and ESL students
* Business English students
* KS3, and GCSE French students
* KS3, GCSE, Pre-U and A-Level German
* Home-educated students learning French & German
* Distance learning French & German language learners
* Beginner French and German students looking to make fast progress

Which qualifications do I help with?

* French GCSE & French iGCSE (AQA, Edexcel, Pearson, Eduqas, OCR, WJEC & CIE)
* German GCSE & German iGCSE (AQA, Edexcel, Pearson, Eduqas, OCR, WJEC & CIE)
* A-Level German (AQA & WJEC) / Pre-U German
* CEFR Levels A1-C2

As well as teaching languages, I love creating French and German KS3, GCSE, Pre-U and A-Level resources and sharing teaching ideas to save other MFL and language teachers time.

p.s.ย I would just like to clarify that ‘TheIdealTeacher’ is simply the website’s name and it’s what I aspire to be and what I am working towards. I am an enthusiastic modern languages teacher with the sole aim of improving my students’ languageย  acquisition with innovative teaching methods to promote progress and improve confidence quickly.
