Shirley Marie Bradby’s Summary
"English_For_You" my freelance education management and translation service offers professional and enthusiastic assistance to individuals, schools, companies and organizations that need an experienced Information Technology savvy American English Mother Tongue teacher to help them learn or improve their English language skills.
With the advent of information technology and the Internet my capabilities as an ESL teacher and translator have been further enhanced and empowered. Translating and delivering documents and projects by email has never been easier and my ESL lessons are now based on multimedia didactic materials that offer the learner more and better opportunities to see and hear English being used in various contexts. Acquired English language skills can now be immediately applied and used by the student /client to reach their academic, professional or personal objectives.
I am also presently experimenting with a new system called "Edutainment" which combines "education" with "entertainment" to increase interest in language learning and knowledge retention! Guess what? It works! (smile)
MUSIC........ANOTHER PERSONAL PASSION:
At the moment in addition to translating and teaching English on and offline.... I am the lead singer for a dynamic new band called JALEBI.
JALEBI Music is when BOLLYWOOD meets MOTOWN!
Our music has been categorized in the World Fusion genre because JALEBI music is a blend of traditional Indian music with soul, blues, gospel and modern musical technology that prouduces a very particular sound and space where East and West can meet ..... and joyfully embrace! : )
JALEBI Music has met with the enthusiatic consensus of the World Music community in more than 134 countries which not only confirms our God-given musicial talents but also our niche in the music market!
