Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas Speaking activities are essential for English learning as they give a chance to learn new linguistic points, including grammar and real-life listening skills.

Jon ITTT Alumni Experiences Whether speaking at a public event where thousands have gathered, or talking politics around a table with friends, this simple piece of advice is well-known to anyone who has ever done any public speaking.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Being a teacher, you should know that children learn language differently from adults.

Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. The children can imitate very quickly. With me when we teach grammar for young learners, we must make them funny and feel comfortable. There is a more...  [Read more]

Come to Madison, Wisconsin, and join our in-class tefl/tesol training course. Named after former president James Madison, the city has always been a prosperous place. Not only is Madison famous for its commercial and educational influences, but also for its natural beauty. The city is surrounded by four lakes covering an area of over 15,000 acres. Native Americans from the Ho Chunk tribe called this “the sacred land” and settled here long before the first American settlers came to the area. Appreciating the natural resources they were given, the Ho Chunk referred to the land as Taychopera, meaning land of the four lakes. Still to this day, Lake Mendota, Lake Monona, Lake Kegonsa, and Lake Waubesa, are a big draw to visitors from far and wide. As you can see, Madison is truly a...  [Read more]
