Federico Riva TEFL Information Teaching Ideas Which methodology uses music to calm us down before learning? It is called Suggestopedia. How does that work? In the 1970’s Georgi Lozanov introduced a new teaching method called Suggestopedia. As psychological theory was developing, one of the ideas that emerged was called the affective filter. The affective filter is a barrier to learning; it's one of the reasons why we are inhibited in our learning of a language. There are two main elements to the affective filter, two sets of factors; these are known as internal and external factors. The external factors to learning may be just simple things such as external noise, people talking to us while we're trying to learn for example. Perhaps more important are the internal factors and for the...  [Read more]

Mark Crocker Alumni Experiences Motivation is one of the most influential aspects of learning a new language. For all language learners motivation varies, but it is surely an essential part in achieving fluency within any given language. Motivation can be dependent upon age, language fluency (both first language and second language), affective filter (i.e. an individual’s comfort level within a particular setting), and many other factors. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Nicole H. In learning a new language, motivation is often dependent upon age. Age can affect an individual’s desires and reasons for learning a new language and thus influence the motivation to learn and become fluent within the language. As children, it is often thought to be naturally...  [Read more]

Music and group singing in particular, are an innate part of society -- people are known to sing at parties, events, religious services, school, in the car, or while taking a shower. Although some students may be reluctant at first, if the teacher is enthusiastic about it, usually the class will soon follow (which is the case for most activities!).

Anna Domiczek Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas Songs and music are such an important part of an ESL preschool curriculum. Not only are they fun, but they are also very powerful tools to help young students learn English in a fun and entertaining way. Learning a second language at the preschool level needs to be experienced through engaging activities - words and actions need to go in tandem. Songs allow the children to move along and learn in a pleasant, fun way, in accordance with the TPR technique. They also serve as a tool to lower students’ affective filter - according to the famous linguist Stephen Krashen’s theory (1983), students can develop a blockage/filter toward their study because of a negative emotional attitude. When that filter is low, thanks to triggering...  [Read more]

Federico Riva Teaching Ideas This blog post focuses on the theories, methods and techniques of teaching, which are the three elements that make up any methodology and we can start with a statement; Some teachers believe that the intelligence of their own children is due to their genes, whilst the intelligence shown by their students is due to their teaching. This is an interesting statement because it contains within it a philosophical argument and it's a philosophical argument about the way in which we learn. Basically this first part of the sentence is saying that the intelligence of their own children comes about due to a natural process of genetic inheritance, so that it could be said to be due to nature. This is exactly the opposite of the second half of the sentence, which is...  [Read more]

To them, the teacher might be an imposing figure, louder than the people from their own country, dress strangely, have odd mannerisms, and generally not seem to “fit in.” This impression can be detrimental to the teacher who is trying to establish a relationship of trust and comfort with the students in order to better teach them english. And in this delicate balance, music can be a unifying...  [Read more]

Hadassah Roberts Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas As an English teacher, you may find yourself accepting the call to teach in a remote village or town in any part of the world where the inhabitants are more or less secluded from urban society. Often you may also find that the house you move into is a dry cabin. A dry cabin is when a house has no well or septic and yet is deemed livable—my experience in a dry cabin. I used to live in a dry cabin because, in Alaska, there are many dry cabins. My house was clean, neat, and cozy, and at first sight, you would never have guessed it to be a dry cabin. It was fun to live there, and it helped me to appreciate many more things in life that I previously had taken for granted. At first, I had no idea how to cope without a well or septic, but...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas How do we manage the class when teaching youngsters aged from 4 to 12?

Shirin Sophy TEFL Information Teaching Ideas Second or foreign language learning, which appears to be an ever-present hurdle for many, has constantly been a topical issue with numerous Hypotheses centered around it, including language acquisition theory or monitor model with its sweeping effects on language learning in classrooms around the world.

According to Krashen, in terms of foreign language performance, there are two fundamental approaches labeled as...  [Read more]
