When we communicate effectively we are able to express our ideas and opinions, share experiences, and build relationships with others. When we struggle to express ourselves, we feel unvalued and insecure. As human beings, we want to participate in group discussions and have an impact on the society around us. In the modern world, we communicate across borders. English is the closest thing we have to an international language. By speaking better English, people all over the world can hear our voice. Well, English teachers and English classes definitely help. What you need is to become a self-directed learner, somebody who takes responsibility for their own learning and creates their own learning programme to develop their English. Now, it’s certainly true that speaking is a social activity and is best done with other people. You can do the same with your English. 1. 2. Learn English Pronunciation Online.

Day 6 of my Grammarly Christmas: prepositions of place. Those of you who’ve dropped by recently will know that I’m embarking on ‘The 12 Grammarly Days of Christmas’.
Every day for twelve days, I’ll be posting on a well-known and well-loved grammar theme. Today is now the sixth day of my Christmas posting extravaganza; I’m officially half way there and I’m feeling steadily more confident I can do it! Let’s continue what I started on day five, with an old classic: prepositions of place… The prepositions at, in and on are often used in English to talk about places (physical positions) and times. These prepositions can be incredibly tricky for learners, because sometimes the choice of one over another in a particular phrase or sentence seems arbitrary. Today I’m eschewing the format I’ve been following a little bit because I’m going straight on to a selection of activities. Let me set the scene for today’s post with a bit of background info… What do you need? 1. You can set this activity up very quickly. ELTPics courtesy of @fionamau 2. 3. Day 7 of my Grammarly Christmas: adverbs of frequency.
A warm welcome back to my ‘12 Grammarly Days of Christmas’… Confused?
Basically, every day for twelve days, I’ll be posting an infographic highlighting the rules that govern the ways we use a certain grammatical point, along with ideas to help those of us who get confused by said grammar point, and maybe even a few activities thrown in for good measure. Today is now the seventh day (here’s what you missed yesterday) of my Christmas posting extravaganza meaning I’m on the downward slope and can see light at the end of the tunnel! Let’s continue with another old classic, adverbs of frequency… An adverb of frequency is exactly what it sounds like… an adverb of time. In other words, adverbs of frequency always describe how often something occurs, either in definite or indefinite terms. Now we get to the point where you skip ahead if you’re familiar with the form, this next part is for native speakers who don’t know English grammar!
What are adverbs of frequency and how do I teach them? 1. 2.
