I am Mary Ann Guy, I am in 8 semester student at the IPC. I am a Trinidadian born who is living in Venezuela, I'm married with two kids and hoping and working very hard to graduate next year August.
I would like to share my views on what I think about teaching Efl. Teaching EFL is very important, and can be some times difficult. English is now a global language and people need English for many reasons, some for leisure, others for work purpose,they may also learn it out of sheer curiosity to learn about other people and some may learn it for obligation.
What ever the reason, when the four skills of English are taught, the learners are given an insite to the culture of those countries that speak the language, also the correct ways in which they can communicate with them. This enables them to improve socially, culturally and sometimes economicaly.
Teaching becomes difficult because the learners are not always exposed to the languages out side of the classroom, and when they are obligated they need to be motivated twice as much as the ESL students.

Hi Mary Ann,
We can finally meet through your blog. Congrats and welcome to this wonderful world of ICT.
I agree with you on your views about English as a global language, and the need for people to learn it. There is a wonderful world out there, and we can interact with it in English.

Hi Mary... I do agree with you. We, English teachers must motivate our students to practice L2 out side of the classroom; otherwise, the learning process will be slow and even delayed. Very nice writing! Keep going!
