Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas When you select information to teach in your lesson, you need to think about what level the students are at and how well your lesson fits into what they already know and what they need to know. When you begin teaching it can be quite difficult to know what students are likely to comprehend at each level and few EFL teachers follow the same students from beginner to advanced level.

ESL teachers are often working with beginners; however, some people could have been exposed to English previously. We can refer to these students as 'false beginners.'

Adults beginners may tend to be more motivated than young beginner learners because adults make the decision to study English by themselves.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Every student requires something different to learn English successfully. Aside from one-on-one lessons, teachers usually will not have the time to dedicate extensive attention to each student, though.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas In my experience and the experience of my teacher colleagues, lesson planning has never been among the most interesting or engaging activities. The reasons are always different: some believe that lesson planning is not effective because a teacher cannot predict the direction of the lesson. Others think that it is a complete waste of time because the process of planning a lesson may seem boring and time-consuming. As a beginner teacher, I had a false belief that lesson planning is not important for an ESL teacher, especially if the group of students has a high level of English. However, after teaching for a longer period, I have realized that only with a certain amount of planning can an ESL lesson be not only “passable”, but effective, interesting,...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas While sentence structure and grammar are the foundation of the English Language, vocabulary is the glue that holds it together.

This is because each class will be made up of different students each with their own learning style. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Caitlin O.

Linda Dunsmore TEFL Information Teaching Ideas While you learn about teaching multi-level classrooms when you take a TESOL or TEFL certification course, the reality often looks a little different.

That’s why we’ve written this post to reveal all you need to know when teaching multi-level ESL classes.
