Oh! Education, My Light
Oh! Education, my light,
You the eye opener of my life
You education are the light of my mind
My key to open treasures
Without you I can't open doors to my future
You fine tuned my tongue.
Now I can read
Write my name
Arrange numbers and alphabet
Because of you Education
It wasn't as easy as 1 2 3
Or as simple as A B C
All the Scientists, doctors, lawyers and presidents
Respect you, Education
My world is improving because of you
Oh! Education, My mentor, my sunshine
My career is already brightened
Because of you, Education.

All respect her,

Our developments are depended,
On her profession.
Everybody should appreciate her emotion.

Education is Like a Fire
Is like a fire
A fire that grows beyond control
With flames that reach higher and higher
A fire that never burns out but just grows
It is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom
The more we want to learn
The more will come to know
And it is not all about reading
It is about how you see the world
You are the mother of all profession
The pillar of life itself
The saviour of mankind
The ladder that takes us to imaginary heights
Without you we are nothing only mere mortals
And shaping our personality is the motto
I want to thank you for your greatness
Because of you I have a future for which is bright and clear.

My School
I read in a school
Which is very cool
When our school is off
Our peon do it lock
We have a clock
It gives us hope
When we feel bore
We see its hall
Its hall is very nice
Which gives us delight
When we have recess
Everyone enjoy his mess

Like a fastest car
If only I had my own gas station!

Chess as Content
Dear teacher,
Focusing solely on structure and form
Brings no good but a storm
That drowns learners' motivation
Suffocates any form of inspiration
Increases inhibition and frustration
Impedes language learning progress
Causes failure to perform and express
Oneself in target language with success
Dear teacher,
Think of first language acquisition
Its environment and conditions
Create similar situations and context
To enable learners acquire at best
Integrate language and content instruction
Prompt interaction and meaning construction
Develop interpersonal language competency
Along with cognitive academic proficiency
Dear teacher,
Apart from academic subjects as content
Recreation is an area of interest
Among learners' hobbies I made my quest
As leisure activities incite them to do best
Hey! The most optimal I can suggest
Promote target language through chess
As it is fun and free from stress
So rich that vouches for learning progress
Dear teacher,
Chess is an optimal tool
For the effective learning goal
Gives learners mastery and control
To learn the language as a whole
Through integration and experience
Total Physical Response and graphics
Cooperative and task-based learning
A journey from low to high order thinking
Dear teacher,
Nothing to fear, just give it a go
Here are some tips you may follow
Through L1 teach them how
Get your ducks in a row
Then switch to L2 and start the show
Enhance what they already saw
Introduce what they didn't know
And use interference when doing so
by Chaouki from Tunisia
Yesterday
yesterday did not care to learn a language that is thought to decipher impossilvel
an opportunity emerged for me or I gave
my destination, I was chosen
accepted for the course
Today, I run for the hours I spend in CCBEU are not wasted,
Today, I am finally understanding English
I realized that I open doors
I know now that I can follow different paths, and that's because I have more knowledge.
tomorrow will not be seizing what ower or learned today
maybe tomorrow I'll be in the U.S.A or elsewhere
and because it completely mastered the English and I can go wherever I want
tomorrow I'll be willing to learn more and more.

Be An Interactive Teacher
Dear teacher,
It's the early twenty-first century
Time to check your teaching inventory
So as to adapt a rich variety
Of classroom roles to share the territory
With learners and afford them mastery
Of their own learning and discovery
Dear teacher,
Say adieu to autocracy and welcome democracy
Overwhelm learners with much interest and courtesy
Create classroom dynamics with great efficiency
And perform an array of roles with high proficiency
To empower learners to achieve the intended competency
And use the target language with accuracy and fluency
Dear teacher,
Get rid of the ways you were taught
To get off to a flying start
Facilitate learning and avoid learning by heart
No more prevailing instructions, use directions instead
Make your guidance and assistance a work of art
And make the learning on student's part
Dear teacher,
We live in the information technology age
Time to be a tech-savvy to update your page
And time for learners to take the stage
Forget about being the only source of knowledge
And create productive learning environments to engage
Learners to develop skills needed in the workplace
