Methodology of Online English Classes with Prof. Marcelo

My online English classes are carefully designed to provide a complete and enriching learning experience. With a robust background in Psychology and advanced degrees in Specialized Translation and Psychology, I employ an innovative approach that integrates knowledge of human behavior with language learning processes.

Student-Centered Approach: Each session is carefully structured to allow the student to explore and expand their knowledge of English comprehensively. This facilitates learning by directly connecting with the student’s personal experiences, promoting greater engagement and content retention.

Exploration of Different Perspectives: I encourage students to approach English learning from multiple angles. This includes interactive discussions, text analysis, and practical exercises that allow for the practical application of the language in various contexts. This approach meets individual learning needs, respecting the diverse intelligences and learning styles of each student.

Facilitative Learning Environment: Using modern pedagogical techniques and cutting-edge didactic resources, my classes are planned to create a safe and welcoming environment. With my expertise in psychology, I am able to establish an atmosphere that reduces anxiety, boosts self-confidence, and fosters free expression, making the learning of English natural and effective.

Continuous Monitoring: Focused on consistent results, I provide ongoing support to ensure that students not only achieve their English goals but also maintain and expand them. This support is vital for adapting the course to the evolving needs of the student and overcoming any challenges that may arise during their learning journey.

This methodology not only ensures effective learning but also prepares students to use English competently and confidently, both professionally and personally. I am committed to making your English learning experience a transformative and enriching journey.

In my commitment to providing quality education and updated resources, I use a carefully selected range of teaching materials in my English classes. These books are recognized worldwide for their effectiveness in teaching the language at various levels of learning. Here are the main books I incorporate into the curriculum:

1. Interchange (All Levels): This series is widely appreciated for its communicative approach and for promoting the development of all language skills — speaking, listening, reading, and writing. With varied activities and contemporary themes, Interchange is ideal for students looking to improve their English dynamically and interactively.

2. New English File (All Levels): Known for its clear and systematic method, New English File offers a complete study program that emphasizes grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation skills, integrating them in a way that makes learning natural and engaging. Each level is carefully structured to meet the specific needs of students, ensuring consistent progress.

3. FCE Result: Specially selected for those preparing for the Cambridge English First (FCE) exam, this book focuses on the skills and strategies needed to succeed. With a rich array of practical exercises and simulated tests, FCE Result is essential for those seeking intensive and focused preparation.

4. Market Leader (All Levels): This is an excellent resource for students interested in business English. Integrating the language with real and current business contexts, Market Leader prepares students for a variety of business situations and helps develop essential professional skills such as negotiation, presentations, and corporate communication.

These books are chosen not only for their quality and breadth but also for their ability to be adapted to the individual needs of each student. Through these materials, I strive to create engaging and effective classes, preparing students not only for everyday situations but also for professional and academic challenges in using English.
