凯文的故事 Story of Kevin

Aside from being a communications teacher, I'm also an audiobook narrator and producer.... so I hope you 'll enjoy listening to me narrate this classic tale of horror from Edgar Allen Poe, 'The Telltale Heart'!  This also gives students a chance to hear my accent, pronunciation, and delivery, in case they would like me to assist in these areas.  Check out more of my audiobooks and long form audio on Audible, Apple Books, Spotify, Google Play audiobooks, and other platforms.

ABOUT the TELLTALE HEART:

"The Tell-Tale Heart" is Edgar Allen Poe’s renowned and chilling tale of murder and terror, told by a nameless homicidal madman, brought to life in this audiobook edition. This short literary masterpiece is often considered a classic of the Gothic fiction genre, and is one of Poe's best known short stories.

"The Tell-Tale Heart" influenced later stream-of-consciousness fiction and helped secure the author’s reputation as master of the macabre. Poe’s novel introduction of the narrator’s madness is a classic study in psychopathology; as his victim shakes with fear, the narrator confides: “I knew what the old man felt, and pitied him, although I chuckled at heart.”

Although Poe was only paid $10 for the story upon its original publication in 1843, his contribution to classic Gothic literary culture and the has been priceless, as the story continues to provoke and disturb fans to this day.

It's quite clear on the knowledge part but why psychology and it's importance
for any language learners?!

Today's podcast is only few minutes but it is to give you something to chew on, a birds eye view on a topic.

Psychology plays a crucial role in language learning success, impacting motivation, learning strategies, and overall proficiency. Here’s why:

1. Motivation and Self-Efficacy
2. Learning Strategies and Cognitive Processes
3. Emotional and Social Factors:
4. Error Correction and Feedback:

In summary, integrating psychological principles into language learning enhances motivation, optimizes learning strategies, manages emotional challenges, and ultimately leads to greater proficiency and success. 

It’s not just about memorizing vocabulary and grammar; it’s about understanding the learner’s mind and tailoring the learning process accordingly. Therefore, in my 1-1 training classes I focus on this the majority of the time and I've completed over 20 thousand coaching calls from managers to vice presidents of huge corporations and they tell me - it works!

Come and try for yourself!
