Answer 1

The teaching strategies that I can use as English teacher are:

1.Visualization of information -This strategy I will use in all the classes that I will teach English because it is necessary for every learner to visualize what they are learning.

2. Student -led classrooms. This strategy is necessary in upper classes because they are the only level that can bring new perspective to their learning culture.

3. Implementing technology in the classroom. It is good to use this level in lower classes.

4. Differentiation. This strategy should be applied to lower classes.

5. Inquiry-based instruction. This strategy is effective in upper classes.
