The Optimal Set of Teaching Tools and Materials for Globally-based ESL Teachers of Young Learners

Hello!

My name is Olive Pasynkova, I am an ESL teacher from Russia with almost five years of teaching experience. I am currently pursuing my Master’s of Education in Educational Leadership. I love teaching and try to use arts and crafts in my classrooms together with my students. However, not always do teachers have access to all the resources. This problem has been a part of many educational practices in language centres across the globe. Hopefully, we could make Teaching Tools and Materials more available for teachers and students in the future. Here is my research, I hope you enjoy it. Please, do not hesitate to ask me any questions, I look forward to your comments.

Engagement and Critical Thinking in High School Classroom

When I was studying in High School, I thought if I would become a teacher my aim will be to create an easy and meaningful environment in the classroom. Looking back to the days when I was in High School, there was the time when I did not like few subjects and always though them to be boring. But as I grew up and engaged myself into the teaching profession, I decided to find an answer to my question and realized the fact that those subjects were not boring but the way they were being taught was boring.

While doing this survey, I felt I had an opportunity to understand the preferences of students for learning methods in high school in India. The study gathers the data and concluded that students learn best when they are involved and has the hands on learning experiences.
