Communicative Language Teaching (CLT)

Krashen’s Input Hypothesis & Affective Filter Hypothesis

Sociolinguistics

The best way to learn a language is by actually using it in real conversations. Instead of worrying about small mistakes while you speak, the focus is on getting your message across. We’ll go over corrections later so you can stay in the flow.

You learn a language better when you hear and read things that you mostly understand. But if you feel nervous or judged, your brain blocks new information. That’s why I create a relaxed space where you can listen, try, and improve without pressure.

English isn’t just one way of speaking—it changes depending on where people live. Just because someone speaks differently doesn’t mean they’re wrong. My job is to help you sound natural and clear, not to erase your identity.

Learner-Centered Teaching

Self-Determination Theory

You learn best when you’re in control of your own learning. That’s why I ask you to talk about things you love. When you explain your passions, you’re not just practicing English—you’re making the language your own.

You feel more motivated to learn when you have freedom, confidence, and connection. Talking about your interests makes learning more natural and enjoyable because you’re not just memorizing words—you’re expressing yourself.

Scaffolding (inspired by Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development)

You already know a lot about your passions. When you describe them in English, you’re building on what you know while learning new words and structures. This makes learning feel easier and more natural.

Humanistic Language Teaching

Positive Psychology in Language Learning

Learning a language isn’t just about grammar and vocabulary—it’s about you. This approach values your feelings, experiences, and personal growth. That’s why I focus on making you feel comfortable and confident, so learning English feels natural, not stressful.

When you feel good, you learn better. Encouragement, confidence, and a sense of achievement all help you improve faster. That’s why I focus on what you can do, not just what needs fixing. My goal is to make English learning a positive experience, so you stay motivated and enjoy the process.

Csikszentmihalyi’s Flow Theory

Have you ever been so focused on something that you lose track of time? That’s called flow, and it’s when learning feels effortless and natural. Interruptions break this focus, which is why I never stop you mid-sentence and don’t let others correct you while you’re speaking.

Teacher Immediacy Counteracting Affective Filter

Learning a language is harder when you feel nervous or judged. That’s called the Affective Filter (Krashen, 1982), and it blocks learning. But when your teacher is relaxed, friendly, and engaging (Teacher Immediacy, Mehrabian, 1969), that filter goes down. That’s why I keep the atmosphere light.
