Maryam
Aldahmani
An English Language Teacher
Who is Maryam?
Hello, and welcome to my e-portfolio. I am Maryam Saeed Aldahmani a Higher Colleges of Technology graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Education. Being a student teacher is such an award for me, which improve my personality to be stronger and suitable for teaching profession also it cultured me in many fields. Moreover, it made me discover effective talents and potentials that can be used in teaching.
My vision is to improve the ESL/EFL teaching in the UAE school system and hopefully raising the standard of English language among Emiratis. I believe that using communicative language strategies and technology is essential to changing the hearts and minds of students who always consider the English language difficult and boring. I am also concerned about helping students to see that learning is not about grades but about abilities to use language effectively.
The best thing in my major is I always need to update myself with new skills and interventions that suit 21st-century generation. I strongly believe that the teacher is the key to learning, so each teacher should work hard to improve herself first and then build the information in the students.
