Eton Institute, The leading language training centre in the U.A.E, came alive with sounds of Salsa music on Sunday, as graduate language teachers enjoyed an energetic session of 'Learning Spanish through Salsa', at the Alumni Coffee Evening, a monthly professional training and networking session for those who have completed the TESOL/TEFL, CTEYL or TFL certification courses at Eton Institute. The session hosted by Beatrice Mynett, a TESOL alumni, combined Spanish and Salsa dancing in a lively lesson that demonstrated a novel way of making language learning fun and consequently more effective.
Sue Brett, Teacher Trainer and Consultant at Eton Institute, remarked: "It is vital for language teachers to be creative as, if it isn't fun, it won't get done! It was great seeing this key tenet of teaching languages in action at the TESOL Alumni Coffee Evening this month. What better way to understand the rhythm of a language than to hear its music first. Garcia's, Beatrice!"
