Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas The range of roles EFL teachers plays to ensure that learning takes place is undoubtedly wide. Among these, we may see teachers as planners, deciding which aspects of the subject to teach and how to do it; as facilitators, providing learners with strategies to guide them in the quest for knowledge; and as managers, establishing the patterns of interaction among students and making sure they focus their attention on the lesson and engage in the proposed tasks. Considering these roles, I think the latter seems to be the hardest one to perform since it involves managing people’s attitude and behavior, which means establishing and maintaining discipline in such a way that it does not affect teacher-student rapport...  [Read more]

They are eager to join a formal class setting to improve their English skills for themselves and for their future (career).

So, as an ESL Instructor, why is it important to keep your students...  [Read more]

In this paper, I present four main ideas, based on experience, in favor of a critical self-analytical method and...  [Read more]
