It has been a long time since I wrote in the Blog. We began our school year about four weeks ago.I have put a plan since I ARRIVED IN EGYPT.I made some copies for all my colleagues about what we have done in the USA AND EVERYDAY WE HAD DISCUSSIONS about how to adapt these new techniques in our school and according to the commercial curriculum.
At first I put the idea of my PORTFOLIO into use for integrating writing daily and it was really a success. It was at first difficult to have positive results but through trials my students liked the idea very much.
Second, I made use of our workshops about how to teach VOCABULARY in an easy and expressive way.
Now I am thinking of how to solve my students' problem in speaking as some of them are shy to speak in front of others and this could be solved through group work , but others get afraid of making mistakes , it is my duty to help them speak freely.
If I have any new idea or technique , I would keep in touch.
