ELTWeekly Issue#17, ELT blog of the week: Mario Rinvolucri’s TeachingEnglish Blog

Mario Rinvolucri’s TeachingEnglish Blog

On his TeachingEnglish Blog Mario writes about his teaching techniques. In most of his posts, he talks about the style of story-telling and its impact on students’ learning experience.

He has maintained the content with a personal approach which makes the reading of his blog an interesting task.

Here are some of the posts which he has dealt with in his blog:

– Seven Word Stories

– Mumbling to oneself to prepare to tell a story + an exercise  

– How to judge the effectiveness of a “story-telling lesson”  

– Interrupting the story-teller!

– Where do you tell stories from in your classroom and how about your voice?  

In all these posts Mario talks about the effectiveness of story-telling in the classroom.

Moreover, he also talks of teaching skills that can create a healthy atmosphere in the classroom.

He takes his readers into the sensory world and shows how it can be helpful in the teaching process.

I think its fun reading this blog.

  1. Mario’s teaching techniques are very effective. I can say this because I attended a two day workshop and was gifted a book by him called “Humanising Your Coursebook”. I have practised most of the activities sugessted in the book in my ELT workshops and they were a hit. I related the activities to the lessons of the English text books that we were promoting. All the teachers who attended the workshops are performing these activities.
    Thanks Mario.
