English Music when I was in elementary school, my sister often listened to English songs. We all enjoyed it though I especially loved David Bowie's music. I used to listen to his music at every opportunity that I had and wanted to understand every single word in English that appeared in the songs. I fell in love with the language and started to explore it throughout my childhood. Today, when I teach english, I always tell my pupils to listen and enjoy English songs, to search for words that they don't know and even play the songs again and again and sing along. I am proud to say that they share with me their favorite songs, bring them to class and listem to them during their breaks. I must also remark that my love to music has passed to all my children and they listen to English music on a regular basis. As a result, they all have a wonderful vocabulary, they speak fluently and they spread their love for English music everywhere.

Our young English teachers were so nice, so professional, the lessons were so interesting that I fell in love with English and with a profession. At the age of 11 I had no doubt that I would become a teacher. ...

Teachers are well aware of the challenges and hardships in trying teach a class of verious level of understanding and skills It is especially hard to teach a language to a class where different .students have mastered the language at different level Take, for example, an average fourth grade class: some kids are reading fluently, some are saying .full sentences in English and some barely recognize the A B C 's The kids who are struggling and cannot follow the lesson tend to disrupt the class, which makes it hard to teach the brighter, motivated students To deal with this problem my school has instituted a system problem to minimize this phenomena In the younger grade when we first introduce our students to the English language and to the basics of reading we have two teachers simultaneously in the classroom One teacher teaches the majority of the students while the second teacher focuses on the weaker stud...
