- Students' Goals, Interests, and Preferences
- Managing Tutoring Sessions
- Staying in the Target Language
- Prioritizing Learning Output

We highly encourage you to advertise tutoring to your students! Consult your concierge below if you would like a poster added to your ICON courses! | | | INTERESTING EVENTS & TOPICS | | Día de los Muertos - Oct. 25

| | Using Memes for Student Engagement FLTMAG recently published Memes in Language Classrooms: From Traditional to AI-Generated by Wenjing Huang, a Chinese teacher at the George School. In this article, Huang writes not only about different ways to use memes to teach grammar, vocabulary, and culture, but also about how to address the creation of level-appropriate memes. Because this creation can be extremely time-consuming, the article suggests ways to use AI to generate these memes, giving you specific instructions and also general tips and tricks.
You can submit your own teaching practices on FLTMAG! This article includes a how-to video and more information! | R I O M E N O R - Oct. 26-28
