ELTea Time Plus-The Best Lessons are Caught, not Taught
Join the Mac TEAm as we welcome a very special guest, Amir Esmaeili. Amir will be joining us for the first episode of ELTea Time Plus Season 4 where we discuss the notion that "The Best Lessons are Caught, not Taught". Del and Amir will be drawing from personal observations and various educational theories, arguing that effective language acquisition occurs when learners internalize lessons through meaningful experiences rather than mere instruction.
Grab your beverage of choice and join the discussion to find out more about how making lessons catching can develop yourself and your career.
