About Me
italki teacher since Jan 8, 2019InterestsMusicScienceHistoryFilms & TV SeriesTech
Hi. My name is Iván. I'm from the north of Spain (Galicia). I'm learning Czech, one of the craziest languages in the world ("strč prst skrz krk").
I have studied Philosophy, a Pedagogical Master, and a Master in Applied Linguistic on Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language. I'm also working as teacher in a secondary school, teaching the subject of "philosophy".
During my studies, I've been working in TV as a camera and other roles. Even today I'm still interested in being part of filming crews.
Since the 2024 year, I've also started a new hobby: "mechanic" for classic cars.
Feel free to ask. :)Me as a Teacher
Dynamic, fun, organized, but above all, motivated and committed to your learning
PDF materials, online tools and apps, and Network Community
but....WHY AM I HERE?
As part of my PhD research we will test different online tools (some of them during the lessons, others not) and we will discover which one fits better for each specific learning purpose (personal and group) ...Group? Yes. Despite the strengths of having a personal teacher for improving your skills (Italki), that's not enough (time, activity) to develop your skills and that's why we should go one step further. That means an extra activity, with extra time but without extra money. But it's not mandatory activity :) My lessons & teaching style
Conversation style is useful to improve your skills and help you directly with grammar or pronunciation, but also:
LEARNING
I propose the GAMIFICATION STRATEGY, that means the taking of principals from games and incorporating them into a teaching purpose: to find the right word or definition to the description, to tick off the right answer as quickly as possible, to do some live brainstorming on a topic
PRACTICE
Network COMMUNITY of learning
Class websites/ digital Portfolios/ Public and private groups/document sharing/ discussion forums/ activity streams/ fanfiction/ chat
ASSESSMENT
We will schedule evaluation activities frequently as a way to evaluate your progress and mine as a teachMy teaching material
