The art of ELT

I used powtoon to create a short video about present simple tense. Hope you like it! The link is below Present Simple Tense Reference: https://www.grammar.cl/Present/Simple.htm

HP Reveal is an app that enables augmented reality to occur, which can also be used in a classroom environment. It is a simple app that can be used without difficulty; however, the diversity of animations and objects can be upgraded to include much more. In this video, I have used this app to apply augmented reality on A1 level English vocabulary.  It is clearly one of the most engaging activities that I've tried for teaching basic vocabulary. As with the use of augmented reality, it is almost impossible for one's attention to be shifted to something else.

In this video, I have discussed the importance of collaborative learning, which shoulde be applied in an ESL or EFL classroom. Collaborative learning enables students to interact with one another and cooperate while doing the activities. Unlike individual learning, students can ask each other for information, monitor one another and evaluate ideas. Thus, allowing the students' self-confidence to develop as they take on different roles while working together.

It allows students to develop better communication and social skills, which in addition increases their overall self-confidence. Holistic learning not only focuses on the mental development, but also on the psychological, social and the emotional growth of the learner.
