How to Get Teens to Read

How to Get Teens to Read There are lots of reasons teens stop reading as much as they did at a younger age. Nightly reading is often assigned by elementary teachers as homework, and many parents read to their children during those years. This changes in middle school, however, when it is assumed that students are independent readers who need to read to learnand not the other way around. Also, some teens never have grasped reading well, and would much rather do other things. How can you encourage your teen to read during middle and high school (and beyond)? Here are a few tips to help your teen get into (or back into) reading: Choose to read yourself. It can be hard to get teens off their smartphones, where the lure of instant access to games, social media and the internet is ever-present. If youre always scrolling through your phone, however, its going to be hard to convince your teen that he or she should not. Set the phone down, pick up something to read and let your teen see you doing so. Have your teen read to younger siblings. The benefits of reading aloud are well documented, both for the reader and the person listening. If your teen has younger brothers and/or sisters who are learning to read, ask him or her to do the out-loud reading sometimes. Visit the library and the bookstore. Continue to make regular library visits part of your family routine, and have your teen check out events and clubs that the library has going on. Talk about new releases that interest you and books that youve treasured, and reserve them for checkout. Give books as gifts. Try different genres and styles. Any reading is good reading. If your teen doesnt gravitate toward nonfiction, how about fiction? If novels arent capturing his or her interest, suggest comic books or graphic novels. Get the guidance of a librarian or bookstore employee, who are skilled at enticing readers of all ages with good book choices. Pick a family book to read. This works well at any age, but reading a book with your teen could give you something to talk about and bond overand why not make those chats into something fun like a coffee outing, a walk or a hike? Correct any problems. If reading is overly challenging for your teen, chances are, he or she will not choose to do it during any free time. Talk with teachers and get your teen the individualized assistance necessary to help him or her acquire and strengthen those reading building blocks. When reading becomes easier, your other efforts to promote it will be more successful. Dont force it. Be encouraging, but dont panic if your teen isnt a voracious reader. Many teens are busy, focusing on school, extracurricular activities and their social lives. Reading might temporarily take a backseat, but if you show your teen through your actions that reading has so much to offer, he or she might come back around later on. With so many other options competing for their time, many teens dont continue reading on their own. However, reading is integral to learning and will always be important while your teen is a studentplus, it is an activity that can bring your teen happiness for the rest of his or her life. Be persistent and patient with your support, which will make a difference in getting your teen to choose reading as an enjoyable pastime.

italki Reviewed Free Language Exchange Plus a Tutor-Student Marketplace (also are tutors worth it)

italki Reviewed Free Language Exchange Plus a Tutor-Student Marketplace (also are tutors worth it) Andrew Tracey is the author of the Spanish Learning Blog How to Learn Spanish (using free online resources!). He recently wrote a review about italki and we enjoyed it so much that we wanted to share some of the insight that he gained. Reposted with permission. Heres a link to the original article iTalki Reviewed: Free Language Exchange Plus a Tutor-Student Marketplace (also: are tutors worth it?) I’ve talked about (here) how I think language exchanges are probably the single most valuable thing you can do to learn a language because that’s where you’re actually talking to â€" and being corrected by â€" a native speaker, that’s where the rubber meets the road. They’re considered an absolutely integral part of The Telenovela Method of Learning Spanish since I place such emphasis on using the Spanish you’ve just learned and I think the best possible way to do that is by trying to use it to communicate with a native speaker (because you’ll learn immediately whether you’re applying it correctly or not). Also, I know I’ve recommended italki before several times, usually stating that it was what I believed to be the best online language exchange site available (and that’s including even the language exchange sites that cost money, iTalki does not) and I still believe that. I’ve been meaning to write up a review of it for a long time now (couple years actually) but haven’t because I’ve dealing entirely with my book the last two years or so (either writing it or launching it or marketing it or…blah, something), so here it is. Not only am I going to cover the language exchange portion of the site (which is entirely free) but I’m also going to cover the tutor-student marketplace, so to speak, that’s the other part of the site (and where iTalki makes its money, if you were wondering). I’ve been using the language exchange system on iTalki for years now but only just today did I try out one of their tutors for the very first time. The Language Exchange System I should note beforehand that pretty much all language exchanges online now are conducted via Skype â€" if you don’t have it you need to get it. Not only does it allow you to speak to the person in real time like a phone call but, if both users have webcams (which I’ve found that the overwhelming majority of my language partners do, as do I), then you can actually see the person via a live video feed as they’re talking to you, thereby making it, in my opinion, just as good as an in-person meeting since you have all the same benefits: real-time speech as well as being able to see their facial expressions and body language as they’re speaking. italki has a system to help you find language exchange partners that’s essentially a social network combined with a really good search engine, located at italki.com/partners. Accounts with italki are, of course, free, and once you have one set up simply go to the above link (or hover over the “Community” tab on the far right in the top menu then select “Language Partners”) and you’ll be taken to the search page. Now, choose the language that you want your partner to speak (that you’re learning), the language you speak, any particular country you want them to be from (useful if you’re interested in learning a particular dialect), gender if you prefer, and even the specific city you want them to be from if you like (sometimes a large city has its own dialect and accent, e.g. Madrid and Bogotá). Once you find someone you’re interested in talking to you “Follow” them (by clicking the orange “Follow” button in the middle-right of their profile page) and include a brief introductory message letting them know you want to talk to them. Here’s the one I use in both Spanish and English for you (if they’re a native Spanish speaker I recommend sending them the Spanish version since you don’t know how good their English is) that I include in my book along with several more pages of scripts and topics you can use during your language exchange: “Hola [their name], Acabo de darme cuenta de que usted habla español y aprende inglés, y yo aprendo español y mi idioma nativo es el inglés. Así que pensé, si usted quisiera, que podríamos ayudarnos mutuamente por hablar alguna vez. Salud, [your name]” Which translates to: “Hi [Their Name], I just noticed that you speak Spanish and are learning English. I’m learning Spanish and my native language is English. So I thought, if you’d like, that we could help each other out by talking sometime. Cheers, [Your Name]” Now, once they respond you’ll just need to get them added as a contact in Skype and set up a time and date to talk. For you to add each other as contacts so you can talk one of you will need to send a request to the other to be added as a contact and then that person will need to accept it, so you can either send them your Skype username and wait for them to send you the contact addition request or they can send you their Skype username and then you can send them the contact addition request. Tutors The other half of iTalki’s site, the one that costs money to use, is the tutor-student marketplace system they have in place. This is just like the language exchange system except instead of finding just any old native speaker of the language you want to learn and talking with them, you pay for a professional language tutor to teach you the language in whatever way you want (most offer formal lessons and informal conversation sessions where they just talk to you and help correct your speech). Now, they break this down into two different areas: “Professional Lessons” and “Informal Tutoring” â€" I noticed that a lot of the people listed in one are also in the other, so the difference really isn’t so much who (who’s teaching) as how (how they’re teaching). Do you want formal, structured lessons or just some informal tutoring and help with whatever you feel like talking about that day? To find a tutor, just search for whatever language you want to learn, specifying whether you want them to be a native speaker or not (I don’t think this is necessary, especially not for beginning students), what other languages you require them to speak (e.g. English), where you want them to be from (useful if you’re interested in a particular dialect), and any price constraints. Note that you have to pay using their own proprietary currency, iTalki Credits aka “ITC”, which you have to buy. 10 ITC equals $1US, and you have to purchase them in units of 100 ITC at a time with a minimum purchase of 100 ITC ($10US). Then you can go through the results, look at their feedback (how many students they have and how many sessions they’ve done combined with their number-of-stars rating is what I mean), check their schedule and available courses to see if they suit you, then simply schedule a class. It will ask you to provide your Skype ID which, although not absolutely necessary, is something I’d highly recommend you get if you don’t have one already (this is how 98% of these online lessons and language exchanges are conducted: via Skype). My Experience with a Tutor… Was very good. My tutor was Vero and I highly recommend her (very reasonable rates, too!). I just wanted an informal session where we talked about whatever, in Spanish, and she helped me out and corrected me. This is precisely what I got and I thought she did an excellent job. She would tell me what the correct word to describe something was when I was looking for such a word and couldn’t think of it, she corrected my grammar and syntax, and she taught me a couple of interesting cultural bits of information about various Spanish-speaking countries that I didn’t know. She also had a good deal of material prepared ahead of time including a short film in Spanish she wanted me to watch and then recount to her in order to gauge my abilities, which are not as good as they were two years ago because I’ve been spending all this time working on that blasted book and not my Spanish (it’s been probably a year and a half since I’ve even talked to anyone in Spanish and yes, if you don’t use it you lose it). My problem, which I’ve known about for quite a while and this simply confirmed it, is not that I don’t know enough Spanish (words and how to use them, i.e. the correct grammar and syntax) but that I’m just too slow, I can’t understand native speakers speaking quickly even if I know all the Spanish that they’re using and would be able to understand it perfectly if it were written down in front of me and I had time to read it. This is what’s known as a listening comprehension problem and is simply the result of not having spoken or listen ed to much Spanish in a while, that’s all. I’ll be correcting this in the future as I’m able to devote more time to it and returning to writing on this blog, and I’ll be doing it with Vero’s help most likely, and here’s why… Here’s who should use a language tutor: anyone for whom the time saved is worth the money spent. That’s who. It’s simple, it really is, it’s just like any other language-learning product and I’ve said as much before: if you’ve got the money to spend on it and you think the time and effort it will save you is worth the price, then you should buy it and give it a shot. I have always made it very, very clear that you can learn Spanish (and most other fairly common languages) online, for free, and quite effectively in a reasonable amount of time. In fact, there’s never been a better time to do that than now due to the state of technology, especially the internet and what’s available for free on it. However, when you’re doing that â€" learning Spanish on your own using free resources â€" then the use of those resources, the system you put together with them in order to teach yourself Spanish, is entirely of your own design, you’re on your own. If you don’t know how to use all those resources, if you don’t know how to learn a language (you don’t if you’ve nev er done it before), believe me when I tell you that you’re going to have a heck of a time cobbling all these resources (free ones at least) together into a system that’s at least somewhat effective and efficient. Having a proper guide, in the form of either a competent person or a book (ahem) will save you enormous amounts of time and energy (and even money if you’re thinking about buying language-learning products and don’t know where to start in that regard). It might sound strange that I, someone who’s learned a language to a fairly high level of proficiency before, is going to get a tutor in that language! Well, here’s the thing: it’s not that I can’t do it myself, it’s the combination of my time becoming more and more valuable (because it’s becoming more constrained) coupled with the fact that I’ve got a bit more disposable income to work with. So if I let someone else do a good deal of the heavy lifting such as determining topics of conversation, picking material to work on, etc., plus the convenience of scheduling it whenever I want as well as not having to spend half my time helping them with their English, then it really makes it much easier on me and saves me a lot of time, time that’s worth what I paid to save it by hiring the tutor. It’s not that you can’t learn Spanish, or any other language, on your own: it’s that having a competent teacher, who’s learned several languages themselves and taught other people those languages, can save you significant amounts of time and effort, that’s all. It’s up to you to determine if it’s worth it. Cheers, Andrew

4 Resume Writing Tips for Your Internship Hunt

4 Resume Writing Tips for Your Internship Hunt (Image via Pixabay.com) 1. Choose an appropriate format. When employers are viewing your resume, they want to see something that is well structured and well organized. Many employers, in fact, only spend a few seconds scanning everything on that piece of paper before deciding whether or not the candidate is worth their time. You don’t want poor formatting or organization to be the reason your resume doesn’t move on to the next round. With that being said, you will certainly be doing potential employers a favor by formatting your resume properly. Organize subheadings in an appropriate and logical manner. Of course, not every resume is organized in exactly the same way, so you have a bit of freedom here. You’ll just want to make sure that you arrange your subheadings (e.g. “education,” “work experience,” etc.) in a way that makes sense, according to what you’ve listed. You may also want to draw attention to the subheadings by putting them in bold so that it’s easy for employers to notice. Under each subheading, you can then list out in bullets the different points you wish to make. 2. Make the most of your limited space. As mentioned above, employers usually don’t spend a lot of time scrutinizing resumes, so it’s best to keep yours as succinct as possible. That means including things that are relevant to the internships for which you’re applying. For example, if you’re hunting for a business internship, you probably don’t need to include the fact that you won your middle school spelling bee. Make a list of all your important accomplishments, volunteer and work experience, and whatever else seems relevant. From that list, choose what is most applicable to the industry you’re looking into and arrange those items under the appropriate headings. According to acme.org, which offers some pretty helpful advice on how to craft an effective resume, identifying accomplishments and not just job descriptions is also important. Specifically, if you list past jobs as part of your work experience, you want to focus more on explaining what you did and what you learned, rather than on simply providing a description of your job position. The best way to do this is to first provide a brief job description, then list out your accomplishments and what you did or learned while on the job. Doing so will show potential employers that you got something out of your work experience, and that you have gained valuable transferable skills that will be useful in your future endeavors. 3. Gear the style of your resume writing towards the specific industry. To make the content of your writing more effective, you want to make it as applicable as possible to the industry you’re delving into. Thebalance.com suggests that writing a custom resume is well worth the effort, especially if you happen to be applying for a position that suits your qualifications and experience. By including more information in your resume that is relevant to the particular job you’re applying for, you can show employers that you’re dedicated and willing to put in a great deal of effort to land an interview. Certainly, writing a custom resume for a specific internship position will leave a much greater impression than submitting a generic resume. (Image via pixabay.com) 4. Proofread. While this is one of the last steps you take, you certainly don’t want to overlook it. Make sure to proofread your resume for any simple grammatical or spelling mistakes. Read it aloud to yourself, have others proofread it for you… Do whatever you can to ensure it’s in perfect condition, so that you can be confident about finally sending it out after all the hard work you’ve done.

5 Tips to Teach Your Kid About Internet Research

5 Tips to Teach Your Kid About Internet Research 5 tips to teach your kid about Internet research Todays students dont have to spend too much time doing research in the library. In many ways, libraries have been compacted into a computer or tablet for students to use at school or at home. having countless amounts of information at one’s fingertips is a great advantage but students need to know how to properly use the Internet so they come up with the information they really need rather than get bogged down with hundreds of web pages they either cant use or dont even want. The extent to which a student uses the Internet will depend on their age and grade level but there are definitely some universal tips that can help out any student. 1.   Who is the author? The first thing student researchers should ask themselves is whether or not the author is qualified to write the content. Remember, just about anybody can publish a blog or webpage on the Internet. Does the author really know what theyre talking about? What are their qualifications? If Joe Smith is talking about quantum mechanics then he should probably have a degree in some field of science and be teaching it at a university or working in the field. Although it’s certainly interesting to read about peoples personal blogs, it doesnt mean the author is qualified to provide reliable information for a research paper. 2. How can the research be duplicated? Many students find an excellent webpage or online article after several steps. Unfortunately, most students new to research dont know how to duplicate their search, meaning they have to go through all of these steps the next time they have an assignment. While students are still learning how to use the Internet its important that they write some of their steps down and figure out which searches resulted in pertinent information straight away and which ones took way too long. Students should learn how to bookmark important sites and avoid pages that are unnecessary (READ: 5 Ways for Students to Adjust to Post Holiday Education). 3. How do I cite an Internet source? Citing a source from the Internet is different from citing a tangible textbook or journal. Students should consult the manual of style their teacher prefers to get specific information for a given assignment. If not otherwise specified, students should make sure to have the author, publisher, the date the article was written, URL, as well as the date they visited the site. Web pages are constantly updated so its important students type in the date they viewed the webpage. 4. Searching for pertinent information It can be difficult to search for relevant information in a sea of articles and blogs that probably have nothing to do with the subject theyre researching. In many cases, students can simply ask a question directly to their computer and get a relevant answer. Advanced research will require students to use keywords and avoid terms that send their research in the wrong direction. In many ways, this is a trial and error situation that can become frustrating rather quickly. Students are encouraged to consult their teacher or parent for help getting started on basic browser searches. 5. Avoiding unnecessary web pages Students are also encouraged to learn how to avoid random web pages that aren’t appropriate for a school research paper. So many people have a personal blog, which is great, but the author of the blog needs to be qualified to state facts or give an educated opinion about their topic. One surefire way to avoid these types of pages is to stick to a list of reputable publications t 5 tips to teach your kid about Internet research hat fact check and edit before publication. Time, the Washington Post, the LA Times, and Scientific American are all examples of reputable publications. Call us today to book your private Orange County tutor for the New Year!

Top teaching destinations in Africa

Top teaching destinations in Africa Are there English teaching jobs in Africa? Put it this way, with 54 countries and a population of 1.2 billion and growing there is plenty of demand for teachers in Africa! There are jobs for TEFL and licensed teachers from Cairo to Casablanca and Cape Town. As you would expect on any continent, there is also a huge range of experiences on offer. Whether you want to work in a thriving city or position yourself close to in some of the world’s most breathtaking natural beauty including beaches, mountains, deserts, and lush greenery, your perfect teaching position might well be in Africa. What kind of teaching jobs are there in Africa? There are three main kinds of teaching jobs you can find in Africa: teaching as a volunteer, paid teaching as a TEFL teacher or teaching with a teacher’s license. Teaching in Africa as a volunteer If you haven’t yet got your TEFL certificate or want to work in an African country where there isn’t a big education industry, volunteer teaching might be the way to go. There are volunteer positions available all over Africa that provide a great opportunity to go on a cultural adventure and build up your teaching skills all at the same time. Obviously, you won’t get paid in a volunteer position and you’ll probably have to fund your own flights and, possibly, living expenses. You might also have to teach in tough conditions â€" think large classes in schools that lack resources. With this in mind, you might want to chat to the school you volunteer at beforehand and see if there are any resources you should bring along with you. Where can I teach as a volunteer in Africa? Anywhere you like! If all that choice is overwhelming, think about the kind of lifestyle you’d like to experience to help you narrow it down. Researching everything from the cuisine to the climate will help you work out exactly where might be the right place for you on this vast continent. To help you get started, here are a few popular destinations: Volunteer to teach English in Rwanda In recent years Rwanda has been making big improvements to its education system, making English the primary language of instruction in schools. This means there is a demand for teachers all over the country whether you see yourself exploring jungles in the north or sipping local coffee in the capital Kigali. Check out some volunteer teaching positions in Rwanda. Volunteer to teach English in Kenya Kenya’s natural beauty makes it a hugely popular tourist destination, but there are also tons of teaching opportunities there often working with kids in rural and semi-urban areas. Check out some volunteer teaching positions in Kenya. Teaching TEFL in Africa While there aren’t as many paid TEFL positions as volunteer teaching positions, it is still possible to find them. There are plenty of private language schools in big cities including international teaching organizations like the British Council. If you have a TEFL certificate you may be able to interview and secure a job before you arrive, but this isn’t always the case and many adventurous teachers book a flight and turn up to conduct their job search in person. If you take this route, remember to check your visa status beforehand. Where can I teach TEFL in Africa? Here are some of the most established TEFL destinations in Africa: Teach English in Morocco French and Arabic speaking Morocco is known for cities steeped in history and culture and its diverse natural beauty including deserts, mountains, and beaches. Jobs are available throughout the country, with the American Language Center, British Council, and Amideastand all known to be great employers. Teach English in Egypt The historical wonders of Egypt need no introduction but beyond the pyramids there are plenty of teaching jobs in major cities Cairo and Alexandria, and some opportunities in smaller cities too. It’s more common to find a job in person than online, and in general, the cost of living should allow you a comfortable lifestyle on your teaching salary. Teach English in Senegal Senegal is a tropical, francophone country in western Africa known for its beautiful beaches and delicious cuisine. Most TEFL positions are based in the buzzing capital, Dakar. Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. Teaching in Africa with a teaching license Teaching with a teaching license is a fantastic way to experience living almost anywhere in Africa. Teachers are needed for all subjects and are usually hired on two-year contracts with regular, monthly salaries, and benefits including accommodation, roundtrip airfare, and medical insurance. Amenities may vary between urban and rural positions, and salaries vary from country to country although all should provide for a comfortable lifestyle and the opportunity to save money too. Where can I teach with a teaching license in Africa? Being a licensed teacher gives you the frankly amazing opportunity to work in private international schools all over Africa. So how about heading to Botswana, for stunning nature and friendly locals? Or maybe you can see yourself soaking up history that dates back to the very beginning of humankind in Ethiopia? Feel like exploring souks and dipping your toes in the Mediterranian in Tunisia? Or taking in the heights of Kilimanjaro and the big five in Tanzania? These options are just the tip of the iceberg. Take a look at Teach Away’s featured programs for more ideas.
