Description

TECHNIQUES TO TAKE YOUR LEVEL OF SPOKEN ENGLISH TO AN AMAZING LEVEL!

My mission is for this course to be the most comprehensive English language and language learning strategy course available online.

My experience both teaching and learning foreign languages has helped me to create this course and you will quickly notice that my values and beliefs in the way a language should be learned are really felt in the lectures.

In this course, I will talk you through eight articles I’ve written over the past three to four years. ‘Talk you through’ does not mean describing how grammar works or what certain words mean. I will show you how you can train yourself to become fluent in English by listening to these texts, storing key phrases and collocations in a document and, most importantly, creating personalised sentences from these phrases and collocations. What is unique about my course is that I promise to check all of your personalised sentences as well as up to two assignments per lecture. This is the reason the course will be so comprehensive - because of the community I wish to build and the level of interaction I will develop with students.

As you will hear in the following lectures, the methods I describe helped me to become fluent in a second language in a very short space of time. You can transfer these methods to the learning of English. My aim is to give you the tools and weapons to take control of your learning and focus on specific areas which I feel you need to pay attention to. Not only do we consider my articles and language learning strategies, but we will also consider other aspects of the English language - such as collocations with the word ‘get’, phrasal verbs and also the schwa sound - all of which contribute to smooth and confident speaking.

Eight of the lectures focus on articles I have written over the past three to four years and they will be complemented by an assignment, extra materials, a words table which you can use as model to create your own sentences and a multiple choice quiz.

All in all, I hope you will enjoy this journey with me and I am looking forward to building what promises to be an active online English language learning community.

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who wants to be an advanced English speaker
  • English language learners
  • IELTS speaking students
  • TEFL teachers
  • Language teachers
  • Learners of other foreign languages

I've been teaching English for the last twelve years. After gaining an entry level certificate to teach English, I taught in Poland for two years and Bosnia for one year. Realising that I needed to become aware of teaching methodologies and language learning strategies, I opted to study for a Masters degree in English Language Teaching. The course enabled me to bring new techniques to the classroom and work on developing students' knowledge of collocations. I also help learners to record phrases and personalised sentences on word cards as a motivational technique to read articles and listen to real English conversations.

After my Masters, I taught in Poland again and several years later taught Business English to managers and employees working in logistics. 

In recent years, I have been developing my own materials, keeping a popular blog and tutoring on Skype.
