Teaching style
I believe that the way we teach foreign language should mirror how language is learned in real life as much as possible and aim to foster exposure to the language by using authentic resources and develop activities that allow students to practice the language in a contextualized manner, as they would outside of the classroom environment, and in a way that is fun and engaging for the student.
