About Adriana Cantisani- Bilingualism, Teaching, & Kids
An informal place where I talk about kids, EFL, and teaching. I'm the creator of English is Fun!, Italy's leading method for teaching English as a foreign language to children. I am also well-known as "Tata Adriana", a TV nanny on the Italian tv program S.O.S Tata, an author, entrepreneur, teacher, and teacher trainer. I love what I do and am happy to be here and share it with you. Tech is not my specialty, so episodes aren't fancy. They are the audio version of my YouTube videos with a few tweaks here & there so you don't hear me say "welcome to my channel" more than once! I hope you enjoy!
Building a strong sense of belonging is vital for any learning environment. When we're working in a foreign language, however, it might be a little trickier. In this episode, I share with you some ideas that not only will overcome the language barrier, they will promote better learning, while building community in your ESL classroom.

Why I Don't Include Reading and Writing In My ESL Class Before Age 8
In my method, English is Fun!, we don't introduce children to written English before the age of approximately 8. (Sometimes even 9). This may sound strange to many ESL teachers but insisting on early reading and writing of a second language could make learning to read and write the child's native language that much harder. In this video I explain the reasons why.
