giving information, consulting and preparing projects
I am well experienced in EU projects like Comenius School Partnership and Youth in Exchange Projects. If you want to have any help or make me prepare you some projects, just let me know... And if you need partners I can find reliable partners to you, or if you are connected from another country and need a Turkish partner my organization is here,too :)

Comenius hizmetiçi eğitim için son 2 gün (30 eylül)
Today was the last day for in-service training for teachers, good luck all of you with your application form.......
Esen! Let me know if you need help in training teachers for conversational teaching!
Hi Enrique, if my blog spreads around Turkey or world I am sure there will be teachers who want to have conversational teaching classes... You are the best choice for this, you have very good techniques and you are a native speaker....
The art of teaching a foreign language.
By Enrique C. Kates
Teaching a foreign language to grown ups, is similar to how children learn to speak their own native language.
Follow the Natural Stairway of learning. First Children see and associate sounds and images. Probably the first and most important is the sound of MA, OR MAMA, and the image of a woman……with time, the child will associate the sound MA with his mother.
* Repeat sounds. Through repetition a child will be able to say Ma, and therefore other sounds, objects, expressions, feelings, etc…
* Read and write. When a child begins Primary School, he learns to read and write…but, by that time he already knows how to speak the language.
* Grammar. A child learns grammar after he speaks, reads, and writes the language. So, WHY does traditional teaching INVERT this NATURAL process?
For an adult to learn a new language, we must use his/her knowledge, but NOT invert the natural learning process as described above.
Why begin with grammar, then reading and writing, and leave SPEAKING for the end???
