I use online free tools in my classes. These include videos, audios, quizzes, and Ted talks. I also use standard tools like role-plays, debates, and songs. The teaching styles I use are direct methods, learning by playing, dialogues, and TRP. Before I start my classes, the direct teaching method helps young learners associate words and pictures; hence, quick knowledge acquisition. Communicative methods are essential as students find a free environment where they practice speaking. I use audios and videos in speaking and listening classes; this aids in pronunciation and fluency. I usually perform a needs analysis that helps me understand my students' needs and interests. I try to engage them in every classroom activity using engaging and compelling content to build a comfortable environment. My students have always benefited from my teaching styles, and that is all I am passionate about. I have helped my students broaden their opportunities by using diverse teaching methods. I want to say that I do not prefer each method to the other. Each method is beneficial and should be used in some situations.
