Wywiad z nauczycielem Izzat 📝

• 1) Do you speak the language fluently, because of your background or because someone inspired you to learn it, for example?

  I began learning English as a little child because I had a passion for computers and I had a dream of studying Computer Science in the USA. Although I eventually chose not to pursue higher education in the USA, I developed a deep love for the language.
  
  
  As my English proficiency increased, I started helping others learn English as well, which led to become an English teacher. Now, as of July 2024, I have been teaching English professionally for almost 5 years now.

• 2) Can you cite a living, historical or fictional character that you consider to be a symbolic representative of the culture of the language?

  Without a doubt, Harry Potter is a symbolic representative of English-speaking culture. Harry Potter's story, created by J.K. Rowling, has had a profound impact worldwide, transcending English-speaking countries. I believe that for many English learners around the world, Harry Potter has served as an introduction to various aspects of British culture and the richness of the English language.

• 3) Is there a word, phrase or saying that you particularly like?

  One phrase I particularly like is "Break the ice." It's a wonderful idiom that means to initiate a conversation in a social setting, often to ease tension or awkwardness. I really like this phrase because it captures the importance of communication, which is central to my job as an English teacher.

• 4) Why does speaking the language matter to you?

  Speaking English, especially being able to speak it well, has opened countless opportunities in both my personal and professional life. It has also allowed me to learn many new skills and gain diverse perspectives, helping me become a better version of myself.

• 5) What is the main difficulty in learning the language, and what can help in the learning process?

  The biggest difficulty I often observe with my students is their struggle to think directly in English. Many of them tend to think in their native language, translate their thoughts, and then speak in English. However, I find it rewarding that with enough practice and immersion, this issue gradually diminishes, and students begin to think and communicate naturally in English.

• 6) Maybe an anecdote/curiosity related to the language?

  One interesting anecdote involves the word "bookworm." It's a term used to describe someone who loves reading, but its origins are quite fascinating. In the 16th century, the term was used literally to describe worms that would damage books by eating through the pages. Over time, it evolved into a figurative expression to refer to avid readers. So, the next time you call someone a "bookworm," you're paying homage to a quirky piece of linguistic history!

• 7) How has traveling helped you improve your language skills?

  As an online English teacher, I've taught students from over 60 countries, which feels like traveling virtually and learning about different cultures. When I travel in real life, my English skills make things much easier, helping me get around and communicate without much hassle.

• 8) What makes you a Super Language Teacher?

  I have almost 5 years of experience working with students of all levels, ages, and backgrounds.
  
  
  
  I stay updated with the latest teaching techniques and trends, ensuring that my methods are modern and effective.
