NAME:- Elizabeth (Liz)
It is very difficult for a french speaker to make a difference between a sounds like in car and had...in a french speaker his/her ears make no difference
WHAT ARE YOUR QUALIFICATIONS? - I am a Cambridge CELTA and the more advanced DELTA qualified English Teacher. I also trained in Speech & Drama at RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts) and LAMDA (London Academy of Music & Dramatic Arts).
I am also a featured author on Macmillan Dictionary's One Stop English's website. https://www.onestopenglish.com/community/our-people/author-of-the-month/author-of-the-month-liz-plampton/550327.article
I find this sounds very difficult to me 😢😢
WHERE DO YOU LIVE? - England (UK)
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN 5 WORDS? - ‘Outwardly innocent, but inwardly knowing’.
But where to say which sound how should we explain to kids ?
WHERE IS THE MOST INTERESTING PLACE YOU'VE TAUGHT? - That would be a one-to-one in a young Italian man’s flat in southern Italy. When he invited me to teach him at his home, I stupidly thought that Mamma would be there cooking the lunch, but no, it was a bachelor pad and no sign of Mamma! I eventually left having learned more about Italian customs than he had learned English!
BEST TEACHING MOMENT? - One of my greatest achievement was when a couple of very naughty teenage Belgian students were sent here to England to learn English. They had been expelled from several schools in their own country and this was their last chance to prove themselves. After a few months of playing around in different levels, and coming close to being expelled again, they eventually ended up in my FCE class. Now they had two chances – respect their teacher and learn something or go back to Belgium. Well, they did go back to Belgium but not before they had passed their FCE! They became my two favourite students of all time. I love a challenge!
I do not like first one. Why would you cut a cat? Cat has a juisy open E in it.
HOW MANY STUDENTS HAVE YOU TAUGHT? Over 10 thousand
WHAT'S YOUR MOST EMBARRASSING TEACHER MOMENT? - It happened during a DELTA observed lesson. One of my students happened to suffer from Tourette’s syndrome. Of course, I had no reason to worry, I had mentioned the fact in my lesson plan, and anyway, this student had never caused a problem before. However, today was different. Very different. Upon eliciting the required information from him – not wanting to leave him out – instead of answering the question in his usual fashion, he suddenly exhumed a torrent of swear words from somewhere deep within himself. After this cathartic experience he looked very pleased with himself but, unfortunately, this was not really the answer I was looking for. Everything went quiet, I looked over at the examiner who looked rather shocked. It certainly wasn’t your run-of-the-mill DELTA exam! BUT I passed!
You are one of the best teacher mam

U are so parfait ma
@ngoziedeh7272Now, can you please help me understand why these even get called “long“ and “short“ when the long ones are very, obviously NOT longer-lasting versions of the short ones? For instance, the way we make the vowel sound of “hate” ISN’T by making the vowel of “hat” last longer. So why do we have to teach and use and believe a name which lies about the sounds that the name supposedly describes? Can you please make sense of that? I’m trying hard — unsuccessfully! — to understand why you think it makes sense to call them “long” and “short.” Please explain.
@KateGladstoneThank you for your amazing job
