🎙️ New episode of the ETAS Podcast is out!

Episode 7: Teaching the way they learn: how to cater to different learner types?

In this episode, Anna speaks with Marjorie Rosenberg about learning preferences. They unpack the terminology around learning preferences, address some criticisms of learning styles, and explore how teachers can avoid teaching only in their own preferred style.

Marjorie R. shares simple, low-prep activities that cater to multiple learner types and offers strategies for discovering student preferences without extensive questionnaires.

A practical listen for anyone teaching both mixed groups and individuals.

As an English teacher, you may be one of the first people a student turns to when considering an English language experience abroad.

But with so many options available, how can you help them choose?

For over 20 years, Quality English has been bringing together carefully selected independent English language schools and colleges, with one goal: helping students find the school and experience that is right for them.

⭐ What does it mean to be a Quality English school?

Quality English schools are independent, established institutions, carefully selected for the quality of their teaching, student care and services. They must meet rigorous quality standards, hold accreditation from a recognised national body and demonstrate a strong reputation among students and education partners.

Our network includes schools across the UK, Ireland, Malta, South Africa, USA and New Zealand, offering programmes for different ages, interests and learning goals.

From General English and exam preparation to junior programmes, professional English and specialised courses, a Quality English school can be a great place to start your students’ search.

🔎 Discover Quality English schools and find the right fit for your students.
