Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas This is a sensitive but necessary topic. To create an environment of tolerance in the educational institution is a duty of all the people working on it. In the past, I use to work as a tour guide in the rain forest. My job consisted of bringing a family of foreigners to an Amazonian indigenous community, it was the clash of people with a completely different cultural background. The majority of times I guided europian or North American through the jungle and I learned how different context makes different people create their values and personalities. The most important thing I learned was to respect that difference and create empathy with dialogue and demonstrations. Understanding the problems and issues of the...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina TEFL Information Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas Besides the thousands of things they have on their minds (personal problems, health issues, daydreaming, etc.) and the temptation to chat with their neighbors in the classroom, students can also be easily distracted by their smartphones. Distraction is not the only obstacle to the class. Boredom and absenteeism don't help the course either. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Melanie P. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. Students need to be motivated to prevent those behaviors, which is every teacher's challenge.

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Over the years of teaching, I have had the experience to work with many teachers from all over the world. I have worked with teachers in music, English, art, and other fields in education. Because of this, I have been exposed to different types of teaching styles used in the educational field.

  Being interviewed for a TEFL related position is much like any other interview situation; it can be an intimidating prospect. However, if you do your homework and prepare for some general questions in advance, you can remove a great deal of worry from the whole process. Unfortunately you cannot predict exactly how any interview will unfold but most will include a similar range of questions that are aimed at assessing your suitability for joining the existing workforce. So what questions should you expect to be asked? The employer will certainly want to form an impression of who you are as a person, so expect questions such as: What do you like to do in your spare time? What are your strengths and weaknesses? Where do you see yourself in five years? If the job is outside of your...  [Read more]

Jon ITTT TEFL Information There is no need to give your marital status or the number of children you have on your TEFL/TESOL CV. Just your name, D.O.B., nationality and contact information is sufficient. Bear in mind that if you are from a non-native speaking country, you would be better off not putting your nationality on your CV. Make sure you have an appropriate email address. The funny one you use with your friends and family is probably not appropriate for your TEFL/TESOL CV. It is easy to create a free email address to use solely when applying for jobs and using one based on your name is a good idea.

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences I earned my teaching degree and license in the United States in 2010. How would I describe my abilities at the beginning? Terrible comes to mind. Completely incompetent might be more accurate. The extreme anxiety I experienced every morning probably didn’t help, neither did the sleepless nights or the 14-hour workdays. Let’s just say there was nowhere to go but up. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Tim M. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT.

You have to deal with different personalities inside the classroom and somehow, you need to work things out for the class to have an atmosphere that is conducive to learning.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas The bulk part of the teacher’s work is to adjust the learning material to the needs, goals, and interests of students. Even though some groups’ needs may coincide with each other, the group’s dynamic is something truly individual in manner. The same goes for one to one students. From this perspective, it becomes evident that the difference between teaching one to one and groups has many layers to it. The number and nature of activities the teacher prepares for the class is different; so is the style of communication. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Polina K.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Teaching can be defined as the action of a person imparting skills or knowledge, giving instructions, the job which requires teaching, the profession of great responsibility and specific character. The teacher is not only the person who gives knowledge but can be a model of competence. The role of the teacher is significant as they teach more than lessons in a book, try to teach how to think and how to choose the right above the wrong, to differentiate deeper things than peoples' outlook.

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences How can a teacher motivate an EFL classroom? Motivation is a major part of learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL). There is more to motivation in the classroom than knowing English is a useful language to learn. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Aaron F. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. Students should be motivated to attend and pay attention in the classroom. Each student should be constantly reminded of their own, personal reason to learn English. Finally, the best motivation comes from instilling a drive into students to have a goal which requires them to learn and understand English well. By keeping students...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences I have 3 years of experience in teaching English in a few kindergartens in Beijing, China and some experience in teaching adults in a training center. When I started in kindergarten, it was very difficult because I didn’t have enough information about how to make a proper lesson plan. I didn’t have enough materials, games, songs, and it took me a lot of time to collect all the necessary information for teaching and creating my teaching plan. Without experience, it wasn’t easy for me to build a good rapport between me and my students. It took me a while to build a connection between me and the kids.

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.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Establishing a rapport with my students has been the most ‘natural’ part of my teaching experience. When I started my teaching career about ten years ago, ideas like classroom management and lesson planning were alien to me. I struggled immensely trying to learn strategies to excel in that area of education. Establishing relationships with my students was easy and always seemed to just happen for me. As the years have passed, I’ve been able to reflect on my time in the classroom and I’ve discovered some common denominators relating to me why exactly students are drawn to me (and me to them!). I think other people can learn from my interactions with the students who have passed through my classroom. This...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas A simple definition of motivation can be, the reason why someone is doing something, for example, the reason to be in the class. Why are they taking this class? An adult student can be taking the class because her or his job requires. A young student can be taking the class because their parents are asking for or because it is a subject in school. If this is the case the young student will be not motivated to be in there and learn, this is when the teachers will look for the best way to motivate the student to learn and be present. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Micaela V. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. Giving a specific...  [Read more]
