English learners for specific purposes are students who have a basic English level and want to achieve their specific aims of learning. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Nhung T. Children are quick to learn but prone to forget. Therefore, they need frequent repetition and revision.

When this happens, the teacher needs to know ways to adapt and manage the class and activities in a way that benefits all the students.

So how can a teacher make sure all the students get what they need from the class? This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Leigh K.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas I am an English teacher. I am teaching beginner students who are aged from 3 years and a half to 8 years old.
