{ "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ [ ] ] } Acronyms are an essential tool used in all professions and technical writing. They are powerful tools to reduce word content. However without knowing what the acronym stands for, they can form a barrier to understanding. In the ESL (English as a Second Language) teaching world there is certainly no shortage of acronyms.

This is a general term for teaching English and applies to the teaching of English to both native and non-native English speakers. ELL: English Language Learner. This is a general term for anyone learning English and applies to learners of...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Parents' role in education might sound like a little bit weird topic, shouldn’t the teacher be, the most important body of education?! As teachers see their students nearly every day of the week, the school becomes like a second home to the students with all their friends around them with an environment of rules on the one hand and on the other hand an environment where the parents are not able to have a direct eye on their kids. In most countries, students spend more time at school and interacting with school topics than being at home or spending time with their families.

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Parents play a vital role in their child’s education. Parents, teachers, and the school need to work together for an effective and successful learning environment. Parents are the first educators of their children, and as it is always said that ‘charity begins at home’. Motivation and support from parents for learning activities at home coupled with parental involvement in schooling is very imperative to children’s education. Studies have shown that parental encouragement (of various kinds) has a strong positive impact on the success of their children. Parents need to provide a consistent productive learning environment for their children. Parents’ roles are not limited only at home but are...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas It should be noted that parents play a major role in education, most especially their children’s education. From the very birth of the child to adulthood, they are being taught how to do certain things and those values live with them all through. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Saah H. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. Such education is firstly practiced from home and it can be referred to as informal education. The role of parents when it comes to education is undefined as they are the foundation of a good, solid and fundamental education before we bring into the picture the teacher, who in some instances is referred to as...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences A child’s education starts at home. For a child, every parent should be his or her first teacher. So parents’ role in the education of their child is very critical. They form a bridge between their child and school. Child, school/teacher, and parents form a triangle. When they work together children often tend to do better in school. They achieve not only academic success but also develop better social skills. In this essay, I will discuss a few ways in which parents can contribute to the education of their children. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate SAIRA U.

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences The one thing l liked most about teaching was the many jackets one gets to wear. To some l was a fashion icon, to others a role model, to others someone they could easily go to and talk about their life and personal challenges. Hence, the code of conduct for teachers stretches even to their communities and homes. Their mere being impacts the lives of the country's generations and helps build a nation, academically and socially. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Trish A. In 2002, l was doing my grade 4 level, taught by a tall slim and soft-spoken woman from Bulawayo. During the second term of that year, she got married to a local pastor and she had just turned thirty years old. I remember...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas As the learning of a child starts at home parents are their first teachers and they have a key duty in shaping up their character and Learning of anything including English.

Natasha Shetty Teaching Ideas Regardless of whether we’re topmost executives or businesspersons, students or teachers, striking a proper work-life balance is extremely important. While everyone strives to strike this essential work-life balance, our success is usually limited. That occurs because other tasks on hand- either at work or home- steal precious time that was intended for our families. And if you’re a teacher, balancing work and family can become a real circus. A teacher has to be alert and conduct classes in a manner that every student learns. Hence, you need to be well prepared for the next day’s classes, take time to relieve stress, and ensure you have adequate rest. What can teachers do in such scenarios, to balance work and...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Education starts at home. A child does not start and stop learning in school. They will always learn whether it is at home, in school, with friends or even other influences such as the internet. Therefore, a child’s very first teacher or role model is their parents. Parent’s engagement in a child’s learning process is very crucial in shaping their character. Parents should not only rely on the child’s school in education. Having both the parents and school teachers working hand in hand is one of the best combinations in getting the child to be interested in learning and to become a better person in the future. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Jze C. Please note that this blog post...  [Read more]

Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. Striking a balance between education at home and school should mold a child’s actual learning process.

Such a belief does both the child and...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Kids' education starts at home. Thus parents are their first teachers and home is the first school. Parents not only play vital roles in the children's educational path but the betterment of their lives too. Mere teaching A B C D is not part of education. But good values and behavior of the children are equally important, which they learn from their parents. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate SRAMESHWAR K. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. Obeying the time and rules, focusing on study, helping, and respecting others are some qualities that children learn only from their parents. So the role of parents is the most important and...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas The following essay has the objective of explaining the role that parents perform in the education of their children and to address if it is relevant or not. We have been functioning in a society where the school is an unrelated or a faraway universe to what happens at home. Education has also adopted this faraway simulacrum of real-life development in a classroom, where topics are taught without a clear utility for daily and “real-life” use. This has created that not all parents are aware that they are innately life teachers since the moment they welcome a child in their lives. Education does not just happen in a classroom: it is a lifelong process that takes place in every experience lived by a person. This...  [Read more]

Charlotte Lam Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas Due to the pandemic, distance learning has become the new form of teaching all over the words. In Hong Kong, teachers are trying to figure out ways to teach their students while having quarantine at home. In this post, I’m going to share some fun activities and games to play with kids by using Zoom so that you won’t run out of ideas when teaching through an online platform. If you’ve never used Zoom before, you must try it with your students, and it definitely surprises you. Teaching through an online platform makes it very difficult to manage the class because students are staying at home in a comfortable place rather than attending real classes in school.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Children’s education starts at home. The way kids perform at school is directly connected to the home environment and the attitude of the parents towards the learning experience. Family sets the first examples of how to behave, to get along with others, and to encourage kids in self-development. Parents are the first teachers and whether they are aware of it or not, they play a key role in shaping their children’s characters.

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Parents play a major role in the education of their children. This is because children tend to listen to the instruction of their parents and are usually motivated by what they see their parents doing. In most countries where education is not free, the parents play the role of sponsor as they pay their children’s tuition fees. This is a major role because if not for that, the students are unable to attend classes and usually stay at home. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Melisa P. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT.

Linda Dunsmore Budget and Salary Have you just graduated or are about to graduate college and face a massive amount of student loans? You are not on your own. In the United States alone, the national student debt totals over $1.4 trillion this year. This number means that the average graduate in the US owes $17,126 and this number is rising year after year. When you are this much in debt, you can’t possibly think about moving abroad - or can you? In fact, thousands of graduates every year head abroad to teach English in order to pay off their student debt - and most of them are debt-free much faster than if they stayed at home. Here are 7 steps to paying off your student loans while teaching English abroad. I know what you are thinking. How is...  [Read more]
