TED Talk, “3 Ways to Speak English Patrice Bethune EDU 5303 6/27/ Winston-Salem State University

I try to incorporate words, phrases, content to include all of my students in class. Students cannot learn a language without knowing the culture first. Neither can a language be taught without the teacher. Therefore, I am also careful when I correct any student's English. I never want one of my students to go home and tell their parents they are wrong. I try to phrase things like," in school
