Hello, dear students!
I’m excited to share with you what you can expect from my English classes. I’m not just a teacher — I’m a language educator, researcher, and lifelong learner. I’ve taught English at universities, high schools, and language institutes for several years, both in person and online. But more importantly, I’ve designed my classes to be interactive, student-centered, and future-focused.

?? My Teaching Methodology
I follow a blended, technology-enhanced approach to language teaching. That means:

Active Learning: You won’t just sit and listen. You’ll speak, create, collaborate, and reflect.

Task-Based & Project-Based Learning: You’ll use English to solve real problems, create presentations, record videos, or participate in virtual exchanges with learners from other countries.

Flipped Classroom: Sometimes you’ll watch short videos or read at home — so that class time is for discussion, practice, and hands-on activities.

Personalized Feedback: I use both teacher feedback and self-assessment tools to help you grow at your own pace.

?? What Makes My Classes Different?
I bring my research directly into the classroom. I specialize in:

Computational Thinking Skills – helping you think logically and creatively in English.

Design Thinking – using creative problem-solving to improve your speaking and writing.

AI in Language Learning – we explore tools like ChatGPT critically and productively to enhance your learning.

So yes — you’ll learn English, but you’ll also learn how to learn, how to think, and how to use technology wisely.

?? Class Dynamics & Activities
Here’s what a typical class might include:

?? Warm-up: Quick debate, storytelling, or a digital poll.

?? Mini-lesson: Grammar or vocabulary through real-life contexts (not boring drills!).

?? Group work: Role-plays, problem-solving tasks, or peer editing.

?? Tech integration: Interactive quizzes, collaborative documents, or short AI-assisted writing tasks.

?? Virtual exchange (VE): Connect with English learners in other countries via online platforms.

?? Reflection: End-of-class self-assessment: “What did I learn today? What can I improve?”

I also use gamified elements (badges, challenges, leaderboards) to keep energy high and motivation strong.

?? My Experience — And What It Means for You
I’ve taught English to teenagers, university students, and adult learners in Iran and Spain. I’ve also trained other teachers how to use technology in their classrooms. My research has been published in top educational journals, and I’ve presented at international conferences (USA, Thailand, Chile, Turkey, Spain).

But for you, the most important part is this:
I’ve tested almost everything I teach.
The methods, tools, and activities I use have been studied and proven to work — not just in theory, but in real classrooms with real students like you.

?? What My Students Say (Indirectly!)
Through my research, I’ve seen that students in my classes often report:

Higher motivation to learn English

Better self-regulation (knowing how to study on their own)

More confidence speaking and writing

A deeper understanding of how to use AI and digital tools responsibly

?? Let’s Learn Together
Whether you’re preparing for exams, improving your communication skills, or exploring English for travel or work — my class will be a safe, supportive, and stimulating space for you to grow.

I don’t expect you to be perfect. I expect you to be curious, willing to try, and open to new ways of learning.

Welcome aboard. Let’s make English learning exciting — together.

Sincerely,
Amir Reza Rahimi
Your English instructor
