Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 6 Jul 2017
I was born and raised in rural Ireland in the last century, in one of the few counties (Mayo) where, alongside native English, native Gaelic in its purest form was and is still spoken. In my twenties I decided to live abroad and learn some foreign languages, including coming here to the Canaries to learn their Whistled Speech, what you and many call Silbo Gomero, and I was soon a competent whistler of speech.
Ik als leerkracht
I've been successfully learning, practising and teaching languages for many years, while keeping abreast of the latest studies on language acquisition (Stephen Krashen, Steve Kauffmann. . .).
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
After many years of teacher training (Higher Diploma in Education, in the National University of Ireland, Galway, also TEFL courses in Galway, and language training here in Spain), I also studied & still study all the old and new findings on acquisition of languages, implementing the relevant strategies into my classes, incorporating the concepts of comprehensible input and high motivation at every stage, always focusing on the students' wants and needs.

It was a great lesson tonight. Patchy as ever was patient as I tried to grapple with broad and slender consonants while reading a story out loud.
