Talk shows 

Hey!

​

I'm Rita, a Hungarian EFL teacher. I got my masters in English and French Language Pedagogy in 2015 and I've been teaching very enthusiastically since. 

I spent the first years of my career at ELTE at a preparatory programme for international students, where I taught mixed ability students coming from different parts of the world. A year ago,I started teaching English majors at two Hungarian universities, which has been an absolute pleasure. 

​

How can I describe my teaching methods?

​

Actually, I am an advocate of 21st century pedagogy, I'm a fan of innovation and I really think that being a teacher is not just about teaching the subject. So, English teaching is not just about teaching the language but also about teaching STUDENTS. So, developing students to be effective 21st century global citizens is my priority. In order to achieve this, their 4 Cs must be nurtured: creativity, collaboration, critical thinking and communication. Every single day in the classroom, these are my guiding principles. In order to do that, it's vital to create an environment where students feel valued and encouraged to speak up about anything. Student-teacher rapport is extremely important to me. Students should also be motivated to participate, that's why I use these talk show extracts for example - to show them a more enjoyable side of speaking the language.
