Linguistics: Phrase Structure, Transformational Grammar and the Minimalist ProgramTranslate this text using Google Translate.

The Chomskian Linguistics model: what this course focuses on and how I can help you The premise: A theory of universal grammar that aims to explain why syntax has the properties it does, and how the human child comes to the world with ‘genetic guidance’ in their native language competence. This is a cognitive approach to grammar, not merely taxonomic (I am aware that most schools in the UK don’t teach grammar). Some parts of the theory (which spans 70 years to date) are taught in different universities at different stages of its development. Students have approached me to know more (or clarify) the Minimalist program (1995 onwards) which has aimed to reduce the conceptual apparatus and simplify the theory. We shall look at VPISH (VP-internal subject hypothesis) and VP shells as well as doing away with intermediate projections which have relied on X-bar theory. The latter is still taught at some freshers’ classes. A good grasp of grammatical categories (noun, verb, adverb) will be necessary as well as grammatical functions (predicate, subject, inflection, adjunct). Some courses are still relying on binding and c-command, as well as other theoretical landmarks which are necessary for understanding the evolution of the theoretical model. Exercises set and essay titles will rely on the student’s targeted requirements (as per their own university). For those who want to prepare for a forthcoming university course, or wish to explore this grammatical model, we shall follow UK authors who have shown a more sympathetic approach to learning.

STRUCTURE OF THE LESSONS: I build my lessons through a communicative approach maximising the use of the target language. My lessons are usually task-based and centred around practical functions. During each lesson, we will always work on four different skills such as speaking, listening, reading and writing, using a great variety of teaching materials reflecting real-life situations. MY COURSES WILL AIM AT: – Improving your listening and conversation skills – Explaining grammar rules – Introducing new vocabulary using specific learning methods – Enhancing your writing, speaking and listening skills LANGUAGE: I have learnt English, Spanish and I am currently learning Italian and Russian, so I perfectly understand how it feels to learn a new language and the difficulties that one can come across, especially when that language isn't using the same alphabet as your mother tongue. EXPERIENCE: I have taught French to people from Europe, Commonwealth, Russia, Colombia, Iran, Sri Lanka, Maldives, South Africa, Syria, Lebanon, Algeria, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, and China, and among them, some were students, teachers, analysts, brokers, nurses, doctors, lawyers, singers, business owners, writers, actors, ambassadors, personal trainers, interior designers, architects, TV and movie producers... I am looking forward to hearing from you :) Sylvain

Hello! I'm Joey - I'm a qualified Modern Foreign Languages teacher with a specialism in Spanish. Languages and particularly Spanish have become my passion and I really love sharing this passion with others who are interested in it. I’m British, but started learning Spanish at school, I then went on to live in Spain, changed my original degree to study Spanish and Italian and then lived in Spain again! This is one of the key reasons I can really help you on your Spanish learning journey - I have been through it myself! I know what mistakes are easily made, what gets confusing between English and Spanish and what pronunciation is particularly difficult, so I can guide you more thoroughly. Whether you want Spanish lessons because... - you are preparing for exams - you are going on holiday - you want to build more conversational skills - you want to understand and learn more grammar - you need it for work - you just want to try something new I can 100% help you! You will get: - Lessons tailored to your specific needs and goals. - A fun and relaxed learning environment in which your confidence will grow. - Loads of contextualised conversation and grammar practice. - Consistent repetition and practice of previously learnt content, *including pronunciation (super important!). - Lots of real-life scenario practice. - Cultural facts about Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries (if desired). I think there’s something so important about being able to help a student one-on-one, adapting everything I do to your needs and goals, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach to everyone. I want to help you feel more empowered to learn a language or to improve your language skills, doing so on your own terms! Send me a message and we can get started!

“ After learning German on Duolingo for three months my wife and I needed some hands on real speaking practice. We were of course a little nervous at first but Silvia like all good tutors has an intuitive method of finding a new students level and working from there. Silvia helped us with our structure and after just one lesson we were more confident we could make ourselves understood in Germany 🇩🇪 👍 ”

“ Sylvain has been a private tutor to my 4-5 year old daughter for the last couple of months and I am very pleased with his teaching approach. He makes sure that the basics are taught using interactive games which keeps my child engaged and she also has fun learning. He is very patient and also has a great way with children. ”

“ Very patient and kind teacher ”
