Education is changing every single day, and so are the interest of my students. My students must keep up with the latest advancements in education to spark an interest in reading. If studying the English language only feels like a burden, it will seem tedious and won't perform well. That is why it's essential to keep students motivated and have them enjoy the experience of learning a new language. I am trying my best to add entertainment into my classrooms, such as playing word games and hands-on activities with my students to boost their critical thinking skills. By donating to our project, you will help improve and increase student attention and focus; you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. There are lots of short, interactive activities to help students practice and improve their English. Each activity focuses on a different language skill, such as reading, writing, listening, pronunciation, grammar, or vocabulary. Independent-level learners can practice using linking words and phrases to create longer sentences and connect their ideas. The use of whiteboards is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially in writing. Using the workshop model in writing, students come to the rug with whiteboards for guided practice and record modeled strategies. What becomes a problem is the fact that the markers never seem to last. Erasers seem to disappear. Proficient-level learners can practice referencing words and discourse markers to structure their writing and develop their written fluency. Therefore all center activities and materials that I added to the list will help provide my students with the necessary tools and activities to enjoy their learning experiences.
