Welcome to
'English Language Teaching'
with Nigel Roake

Learning English is a very exciting and rewarding activity. Whether you are a student wanting to improve your skills for study, or moving to a new country for work, or living in an English speaking country, a sound understanding of English will greatly enhance your ability to interact with new friends and be part of a larger friendly community.

ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) and EFL (English as a Foreign Language) fundamentally cover the same core goals: teaching English to non native speakers. ELT, or English Language Teaching colloquially covers all areas of teaching English to non native speakers.

Together, working online, we can improve your English language skills. I normally use Zoom for online interaction. Skype is also an option if Zoom is not available to you. Learning should be fun and relevant to the students' needs and expectations. Although there are key achievement points in all language learning, working with an individual at the right speed and talking about the student's interests enhances the learning experience and tends to make the process faster.

Using a combination of spaeking, listening and interactive activities, the learning process is fun, memorable and will provide a solid grounding for further language development.
