During my time at WEI so far, I’ve applied different teaching techniques to meet the learning styles of our students. But the most outstanding technique is the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) technique which emphasizes that learners communicate more effectively and correctly through realistic situations that they may find themselves in. In other words, in real life situations where their knowledge of the English can be put to the test.
As an ESL/EFL instructor, I believe and approve of WEI teaching methodologies as they helped me grow both professionally and personally.
The constant training with the Cambridge learning platform and in-class teaching are vital tools that have enhanced my teaching skills.
The preparatory programme to take any of the international exams especially the Pearson, TOEFL and Cambridge exams have served also served as effective tools to improve the teaching process.
