I needed a personal approach, a tangible example to express my view on the...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences It is not normal to praise students. Praising students is a pivotal and fundamental role that is expected from the teacher towards his/her students to show admiration and give feedback on their good behavior, performance, etc. It helps establish learners-teacher rapports, build students' confidence, as well as it is a smooth and immediate process of evaluation.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas First and foremost I'd like to address why phonetics issues very early piqued my interest in teaching English for foreigners.

This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Asbiorn B. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. Firstly, those auditory problems were inherited biologically by people around me and couldn't be helped much before the very sophisticated miniature hearing aids just recently were introduced. However, some foreign students can't afford these rather expensive items and subsequently require my special attention in English...  [Read more]
