Making Learning a Foreign Language Fun!

Making Learning a Foreign Language Fun! Learning a foreign language can be a huge challenge for students. There’s vocabulary to learn, a plethora of tenses to absorb, and a whole new accent to perfect. Often, students can get lost in the minutia and details, losing engagement to the broader picture of cross-cultural connection and the enjoyable challenge of language learning. At AJ Tutoring, our tutors can help students cultivate an interest and appreciation for the languages they are learning while also showing great progress with class assignments and tests.Click here to learn more about our foreign language programs! Quite often, a student comes to AJ disliking the language she’s learning because she feels overwhelmed by all of the new vocabulary, verbs conjugations, and syntaxes to memorize or the stress of preparing for a high stakes exam like the AP Exam or SAT Subject Test. Parents want to help their student be successful, but they don’t know how because most adults haven’t studied a new language since high school.When learning a foreign language, it is important to constantly remember the bigger picture. Each lesson and each year a student is expected to learn new grammar concepts and new vocabulary. Think of those as lego pieces. As time passes, a lego masterpiece starts to form. The learning curve can be frustrating, but it helps to know that, as the years pass, the journey gets more rewarding because the fruits of labor can be harvested. Envisioning a trip to a foreign country or even a fluent conversation with a foreign language-speaking friend can make the rewards of language learning feel more concrete.  In the meantime, practicing the language with classmates, parents, and friends or watching movies in the target language can remind students of the benefits to their study. Always knowing that there is a bigger picture and there are reasons we are learning each concept helps with wanting to master the language.Here you can find some helpful online resources to aid with practice for languages commonly taught to students at Bay Area schools: http://www.wordreference.com/ https://studyspanish.com/ http://www.bonjourdefrance.co.uk/ https://newsela.com/articles/#/rule/spanishWith language learning, targeted practice and 1-on-1 coaching are highly effective. Private tutoring is commonly thought to be the most impactful way to improve reading, writing, and speaking skills. At AJ, our tutors come to us with a breadth of experience and background in helping students progress with their studies of foreign languages like Spanish, French, Latin, and Mandarin. Our educators are able to bring perspective to everyday lessons and turn the most difficult parts of learning the language into more enjoyable and engaging activities.Reach out to us to learn more about how we can help your student with foreign language study!

Preparing for a Skype Interview

Preparing for a Skype Interview By Kathryn StewartIf you are interested in teaching overseas, you will eventually need to interview with administrators or a principal from your potential school. With many of Teach Away’s partner schools, this interview will be over Skype. For those who have never had an interview over Skype, here are some tips to ensure you have the best interview possible.Online Information: Your Skype profile photo, Skype name, and status will be the first things the interview team sees prior to speaking with you. Make sure that these are professional â€" having a separate Skype   account for professional contacts is a great idea.Background: As you aren’t able to meet your potential colleague or supervisor in person, keep in mind that your first impression will extend beyond what you are wearing or how your hair looks.   Your webcam will also show your living or working space. Make sure your area is tidy! A plain background is ideal, as that will allow the interviewer to focus on you instead of trying to decipher your choice of artwork in the background.Technical Preparedness: If you are new to Skype, try a practice run with a friend or your Teach Away placement coordinator before your interview. Use your webcam and microphone to make sure that everything is in good working order. On the day of your interview, we recommend that you are online and ready to go at least 15 minutes prior to your interview time.Acting Naturally: It can be difficult to “be yourself” while on camera. Try to stay as natural as possible, and remember all the points of an in-person interview: for example, making eye contact with the person you are speaking to. You don’t need to act differently in a Skype interview, just make sure that you are being seen and heard on the webcam.On the subject of eye contact, however, making eye contact through a webcam is a little more difficult than in person. Remember that your interviewer’s “eyes” are actually the camera! Try to look into the camera as much as possible, instead of staring directly at your screen.Patience: Sometimes Skype will cut in and out, or it can be difficult to see or hear the person on the other side.   From time to time you may even need to stop the call and try again. Try to be patient!Flexibility:   It is unlikely that your potential employer will be in the same time zone - your interview may be scheduled at a time early in the morning, or late in the evening. Your placement coordinator will do their best to schedule an interview time that works best for both sides, but keep in mind that flexibility is an asset when teaching abroad, starting from the very first interview!Kathryn Stewart is a Placement Coordinator at Teach Away Inc.

Expanding Vocabulary for High School Readiness

Expanding Vocabulary for High School Readiness Prepare for High School With an Expanded Vocabulary 8th graders are fast approaching the end of their middle school or junior high careers. The transition from 8th   grade to high school is one of the most difficult educational challenges and many students find that the first semester of high school is overwhelming, mainly due to social changes but also because of a large step up in educational responsibility (READ: How to Get an A Before the End of the Term). One thing that seems to be continuously lacking for students entering the 9th grade is vocabulary expansion. With increasing importance placed on test prep as well as yearly assessments and a heavier emphasis on non-fiction reading and reading comprehension general, 9th graders need to have an excellent handle on vocabulary. Consider the 8th Grade Vocabulary List Parents should consider looking at the 8th grade vocabulary list, easily available online,   and test their kids out with a few of the words. As soon as an 8th grader hears the word ‘test’, they are unlikely to be interested in further discussion. However, parents can easily throw in a word here or there in general conversation and see if their child knows what it means. Parents can also try a more direct approach and simply ask their children to provide a synonym for a list of words. If 8th graders do not have a minimum of a 90% success rate on the appropriate reading list at this point in the year, they are not on track for the 9th grade. Parents are also advised to share the 6th and 7th grade word lists with their children, also available online.   Many students are surprised to find that they dont know as many of the words on these lists as they thought. This is generally because these vocabulary words are not found in everyday language or students simply dont remember them. Exposure to New Words The more a child is exposed to new words the more likely theyll be to remember them and use them in their own speech. Students who are behind should attempt to learn 10 words a week (READ: Five Tips for Success in English Class). This should not detract from their current academic commitments and will not likely be overwhelming, but will start them on their way to age-appropriate vocabulary. Students who know at least 90% of the words on the 8th grade vocabulary list should move up to the 9th grade list. Entering the 9th grade is a huge social adjustment and students are less likely to be able to advance their vocabulary during the first six months of their high school career. Students who are proficient in the 9th grade list prior to starting high school will have a much easier time in their English classes as well as any class that requires reading comprehension or research. Vocab for Testing and College Prep Early vocabulary expansion is also important for both college and college entrance exams, such as the SAT or ACT. College prep students attempt to learn as many as 3,500 words through simple memorization within the three months leading up to the SAT. Students will not be able to learn or memorize that many words in a short time. Because the vocabulary section is one that high school students consistently score low on, early vocabulary expansion, starting at an early age, can potentially earn test-takers up to an additional 100 points when they take their SAT. In addition to test prep, students with advanced vocabulary also have an easier time understanding both fiction and non-fiction literature and are able to participate in class discussions more accurately and more confidently. Later in life, post-secondary students as well as professionals will find that they are often able to communicate better and more effectively with a broad vocabulary, especially adjective usage. Regardless of the reason for vocabulary expansion, its important for all upcoming 9th graders to make sure that they are at least at grade level if not higher.

What To Do When You Are Struggling With Linear Equations

What To Do When You Are Struggling With Linear EquationsIn my final essay, I will offer some advice to college students who are struggling with the concept of linear equations. If a student learns the concept of linear equations as a freshman, they may forget how to write them. My suggestion for helping students become more proficient in linear equations is to give them another hour of algebra or help them get some math tutoring.If the student decides to learn to write linear equations by using only two hour set of math concepts, they may find it very difficult to remember the concepts. They may find it difficult to read through the materials and can make many errors. Students may also spend a lot of time studying and practicing writing the right way.A student may find that one method is better than another method when they are just starting to master the concept of linear equations. They will probably have to spend more time learning to solve linear equations correctly.Another alter native would be to use math tutor to give the student another hour of a subject they have not yet mastered. There are many math tutors available who are willing to provide help.These math tutors are able to help a student with any level of education or situation. If the student is sophomores, they may only need one hour of math help.If the student is a freshman or sophomore, they may need two hours of help. Many times, if a student needs more help they can contact their math tutor.Math tutors are available online. There are hundreds of math tutors online who offer free tutoring. Many are willing to help the student in whatever situation they may be in.

Slope Intercept Equation Online Tutoring - Maths Homework Help

Slope Intercept Equation Online Tutoring - Maths Homework Help Slope is defined as raise over run. The slope of the line is very useful for finding the equation of the straight line. The slope of the line can be calculated given two points on the straight line. The slope intercept equation of a straight line is of the form y = mx + b; here m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept of the line. Example 1: Fine the slope intercept equation of a straight line passing through (2, 3) and having the slope 5? Solution: Given is the slope of the line = 5. The slope intercept form of a line = y = mx + b. Hence the line given is y = 5 x + b. Here b is the unknown. Mentioned in the question is, line passes through (2, 3). Therefore, 3 = 5 (2) + b; b = 3 -10 = -7. Hence the equation in slope intercept form is y = 5x - 7. Example 2: Fine the slope intercept equation of a straight line passing through (1, 5) and having the slope 6? Solution: Given is the slope of the line = 6. The slope intercept form of a line = y = mx + b. Hence the line given is y = 6 x + b. Here b is the unknown. Mentioned in the question is, line passes through (1, 5). Therefore, 5 = 6 (1) + b; b = 5 - 6 = -1. Hence the equation in slope intercept form is y = 6x - 1.
