In my classroom, I strive to provide students with as much comprehensible input as possible, enabling them to draw their own conclusions from the language. Therefore I solely teach using the target language. I try to create an environment where my students feel comfortable to take chances. I hold in high regards the values of community while simultaneously celebrating diversity within classroom culture. As a facilitator of learning, the basis of my classroom philosophy is to provide an atmosphere featuring open discussions where students are encouraged to use exploratory talk and writing to expand their visions and learning philosophies. Therefore, I encourage my students to express their ideas and opinions, question, explore, experiment, and research to better understand the world around them. Lastly, I push my students to draw connections to their own lives, and strive to communicate more than facts and knowledge with students.
