AIM: The Transformation of Language Education

While Italy may boast Montessori and Austria its Rudolph Steiner, one of the next great educationalists is living in British Columbia, Canada.

Wendy Maxwell’s Accelerative Integrated Methodology (AIM) signals a major yet subtle transformation in language teaching, an approach already in use in over 4000 Canadian schools and rapidly becoming an international phenomenon. While methods have come and gone, this ‘post-method methodology’ is enabling teachers to consistently and coherently put into practice what has only been dreamed of before at a theoretical level.

Stretching for the powerful swing and for the better health

1. The exercises you can do before your golf practice after 5-10 minutes of a warming-up cardio (jogging) :

Neck muscles stretch

The purpose: as the body function in kinetic chains, the mobility of the trunk and the shoulder griddle will be better if the neck muscles are flexible enough.

Take a stance as if your head were suspended by the thread into the sky, inhale, slowly draw the chin in towards the throat. Slowly incline your head to the right, then to the left , while exhaling. To enhance the stretch, you may help yourself by putting your right hand if your head has been inclined on the right, on the opposite temple. Then bend your head down and slowly throw it back. Make alternate semi turns from up to the sides and from your upper chest to the sides. 10-15 reps for each side and movement.
