FRENCH / SPANISH Language Teacher IN MUMBAI , INDIA - Mumbai - two people introducing themselves in spanish

When learning a new language, it is necessary to use the language everyday and studywhenever you possibly can. For learning vocabulary, you could start by writing your "to do" lists in the language, or even giving commands to your dog. Label household items, like the table or television, with the word in the language. And start translating everything you see or read or hear into the new language. See how fast you can switch between the two (or more) languages in your mind.

One useful way to remember nouns (and their genders) is to associate them with other ideas that you are already familiar with. I will never forget that the Russian word for world and peace is mir because I thought it was so strange that one word could mean both of those things. I can remember that ausgezeichnet is excellent in German just because it's so fun to say. I know that la camera is Italian for bedroom because I took pictures of my room to finish up a roll of film a while ago. Le carré in French means square, and every time I see a book by John le Carré, I think his name is John Square.

Language Acquisition Teaching Methods
Grammar-translation: the student memorizes words, inflected words, and syntactic rules and uses them to translate from native to target language and vice versa; most commonly used method in schools because it does not require teacher to be fluent; however, least effective method of teaching.
Direct method: the native language is not used at all in the classroom, and the student must learn the new language without formal instruction; based on theories of first language acquisition.
Audio-lingual: heavy use of dialogs and audio, based on the assumption that language learning is acquired mainly through imitation, repetition, and reinforcement; influenced by psychology .
Natural Approach: emphasis on vocabulary and not grammar; focus on meaning, not form; use of authentic materials instead of textbook.
Silent Way: teachers remain passive observers while students learn, which is a process of personal growth; no grammatical explanation or modeling by the teacher.
Total Physical Response: students play active role as listener and performer, must respond to imperative drills with physical action.
Suggestopedia: students always remain comfortable and relaxed and learn through memorization of meaningful texts, although the goal understands.
We use and develop materials as course progresses and teacher understands what students need and want to learn; learning involves the whole person and language is seen as more than just communication.

Language courses are intended to give a general knowledge of the language and aim to improve the students' communication skills. The courses emphasize the practical and the day-to-day use of the target language in relation to everyday life in the target culture. The communicative approach - working mainly through video documents - offers role-plays, group discussions, listening comprehension exercises as well as written comprehension and essay writing. Current materials, including videotapes and audio documents as well as books and various documents are used in class and in the language laboratory to familiarize students with aspects of language and contemporary culture.The content of all courses facilitates achievement of the learning objectives for practice of the four language skills taught: speaking, listening, reading and writing.
Upon successful completion of the courses, students will achieve competence in:
1. Listening: isolate and understand relevant information from semi-scripted speech and/or authentic speech in order to simulate real-life spoken French .
2. Speaking: improve pronunciation and show confidence and accuracy in speaking
3. Reading: adequately understand vocabulary and grammatical structures in context in order to obtain specific and general information from written sources
4. Writing: demonstrate enough accuracy and fluency of written language to convey information in writing
