Let's learn

Hello every 1,

This is something that I would like to share with you and I hope that we won't hesitate to participate and help. First I would like to tell you about something that I’m really worried about, it’s my language, my English. I just joined government school last year when the need for English teachers increased to teach sixth graders. I quit my old job to teach in a government school. In my first job, I used to speak English all the time because I was working with non – Arabic speakers. I did benefit a lot from working with them. My language got stronger and my skills improved. Something else, I was attending workshops, presentations and conferences which require a lot of work like reading, working in groups, cooperating and presenting. There is a big difference between my first job and the recent one. I am very worried about my language. It’s not as strong as before. I don’t speak English at school except with students. And the syllabus is so easy that it doesn’t improve the teacher’s skills. I feel that I’m losing my English. So please let’s benefit from each other and try to create a LEARNIG ENVIRONMENT. By learning environment, I mean that we share what we are learning with each other. It can be idioms, expressions or some new words. We can even remind each other of some grammatical points that we might forget. That’s what our dear supervisor, instigator, is doing. From time to time, he is teaching and reminding us of some useful and valuable information. Thanks a lot for doing that, brother. So please let’s start doing that… Who will have the courage to start??  This is for the benefit of all members.

Thanx a lot for being patient and reading my post..

Your sister,
Aseel

Dear Aseel

What a brilliant idea! You are quite right. We do need to maintain our language. To tell you the truth I felt quite sad when I've seen the way your old job benefited you. I hope that you will feel satisfied with yoour new one. I am with you in what you have suggested, and for this matter I propose we start a post in which each member posts a new phrase or word in context. This way we can expand our knowledge of new words. In adition, I believe that reading is a very important source of improving our language. We need to share whatever short stories or anecdotes we have. We need not only to learn the language but also taste the language and enjoy it

Thank you sister Aseel for sparking enthusiasm into this side of the forum

Aseel Dear

I had the same problem when I also quit my first job where I worked with non-Arabic speakers
I found my self losing my language day by day
Thank god I managed to keep it by sharing any new book or words with a very special friend
We didn't actually stop our old routine in anatomizing words and sensing their beauty

I enjoyed this forum particularly cause we're helping each other maintain our language

I'm willing to share anything with all of you at anytime

Thanks dear for this idea

Dear Astro,

I'm so glad that u replied to my post. I really admire you and the way u use your language...

I strongly agree with your idea, creating a post for new phrases and words in context

Thanx alot for your encouraging reply

Dear enigma

Thanx alot darling for replying and encouraging

I'm sure that u benefited a lot from your first work just like I did

You're so lucky to have a friend with who you can share things and improve yourself

Well, I consider you all friends who like to help each other

Thanx again, darling

My marvelous dear Aseel

You are right all the words that you mention above
Frankly , we need to discuss each other, to introduce anew ideas and topics
We already to do any thing to improve our language

Thanks darling , we suffer from that ,as you
But ,we are trying to improve our language through reading here

,Sister Aseel
firstly, I would like to thank you for your
.words about what I am doing for you all
.Thanks for raising such important problem
.Secondly, I read the whole passage happily

.Thirdly, it is a matter all teachers suffer from
.I have the same problems as well
Teaching is a perprtual boring routine
killing teachers and clippint their wings
.not to improve thier language
Teaching in schools has a negative
.influence on our language being teachers
Day by day, some teachers lose
.a huge number of vocabulary
Teachers do not practice English
at schools because students always
.complain about not understanding
Teaching is a full-time job of just
.giving information to students
.This type of teaching is called LECTURE
.Student are just passive listeners

Anyway, as teachers of English fearing to
.lose our language, we should not surrender
We have to work on to keep our language
wealthy of vocabulary through reading
materials in English. Also, through listening
to speaking English channels, we can
make a step up to improve and maintain
our language. Practicing language through
.speaking is the best way to improve it
Furthermore, to improve your language you
must overcome some of your own obstacles
such as being shy to speak English with
.others and being afraid of making mistakes

.Practice makes perfect

thanku my sister 4 choosing this nice topic



i do really believe that most of us lose their english

specially after the graduation although we use it in our schools

to avoid this lose one should raise his/her

intrinsic motivation which is an

innate drive stemming from within oneself


in language learning students are compelled to

learn by a motive to understand, originating from

their own curiosity

in addition, intrinsic motivation the goal to master and the

desire to understand is a concept that can be

seen as corresponding to one another


i`m sure dear sisters and brothers that u r all motivated already

but we should give it a bush a little bit more and apply it in our daily life


to sum up, in applying what's mentioned above

we should consider all the facilities available and use them

the net is a main one, then y not to begin?


i do really appolgise 4 the miss

Dear Zahrat wafwa

Thank you darling for passing by

I do appreciate your reply

May Allah protect you

Dear supervisor,

Thanx alot for your detailed reply

I totally agree with you

What u called (lecturing) in ur reply is something terrible. I do hate lecturing. It's boring

I used to tell my supervisor "please, don't let me atteend presentations or workshops where lecturing is the way to communicate".

I'm trying my my best to avoid (lecturing) with my students. They learn through games, group work and projects and thank God they're enjoying it. Learning through fun, that's what I believe in. I'm trying to apply whatever I learned from my first job in government schools.

I want to ask u a favor, if u don't mind. I would like to make 3 posts, one for new words, the other for new idioms and expressions and the last one for common mistakes and grammtical points

Thanx again and sorry f my writing is not organized

Dear Abo Lama,

I do admit that I got confused the first time I read your reply. I had to read it again to understand it better


Thanx alot for sharing your valuable comment with us

الله يخلي لك لمى
