Elizaveta Pachina TEFL Information Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas The English language has evolved to become the global mode of interaction. More and more parents now desire that their children learn the English language at an early enough stage to become globally competitive in the ever-shrinking world market. For children born to English-speaking parents, the task is easy since they would typically pick up English as their first language. However, for parents who themselves lack English language proficiency, the job can be daunting. This essay will highlight some essential steps that parents can take to help their children gain mastery of the English language. This post was written by our TEFL...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina TEFL Information Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas "Parents are the ultimate role models for children. Every word movement and action affects…" this opinion expressed by Bob Keeshan is supported by many people worldwide. Is this true? What are some of the roles they model? How do these roles impact their child's education? Henceforth let us take a look at some of the parents' education in the education of their children, then briefly look at some of the impact observed in students' attitude in an English class? Parents play many roles in education, and that role begins on the day of the child's birth (Although there are many studies out there that argue that it starts in utero). Studies...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas A role is a form of duty that one performs. A teacher will adopt a teaching style that typically reflects his or her general personality in some way. If the teacher tries to be someone or something she or he is not, for eight hours a day, it will soon become tedious and very hard work. No matter the style the teacher will be applying, the teacher needs different roles in a classroom given the situation that arises and lesson plan. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate GLADYS N. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. There are many roles of a teacher. I will list each of them and also give examples that may apply to each role of a teacher....  [Read more]

Linda Dunsmore Alumni Experiences The role of a teacher is constantly changing throughout the day. The teacher’s role can be influenced by: the lesson, the students, and the circumstances that might arise during a classroom session. Teachers frequently perform various roles when teaching students, some of these roles include: instructor, facilitator, mentor, psychologist, counselor, and policeman. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Giuseppe T. The role of instructor is the role most people associate with teachers of any subject – sometime referred to as the expert or the “knower” of a certain body of knowledge. This portrays teachers as being all-knowing figures, with the expectation of having access to a...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Teachers play an important role in our life to become successful in career and business. A good teacher helps us to become a good human being in society and a good citizen of the country. Teachers know that students are the future of any nation. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Sumbal S. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. So, the future development of any nation is in the hands of teachers. As a teacher, one of your main roles is to motivate your learners to develop their ability and aspiration to learn. You may ready about delivering training and facilitating learning, but in reality, you do much more than that. Your role is...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas The use of games in the class can activate the atmosphere of learning, reduce learning pressure, and stimulate learning interest more. Independent and selective learning is good for developing students' multiple intelligenceand promoting the formation of good feelings. There are five benefits of games in the classroom. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Michael F. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. The first is reducing students' learning pressure. Students are under pressure in the learning process. Homework task, examination task and psychological pressure generated during the learning process in a class all make children more...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Since I previously worked as an English teacher in China, I also have my own experience. What is important to me as a teacher? First of all, the personality of the child. He's a human, and I want him to stay that way. Therefore, I need to teach this person to learn, not just to know and be able, but to teach him to use knowledge for the benefit of himself and those around him. Knowledge is a power that can destroy and create. And the child learns to make a decision and be responsible. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Vladlena H. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. Of course, there are errors and problems. Together with our...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Music is a uniquely human characteristic. No other living creature can recreate frequencies, beats, pulses, and harmonies as we do. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Mariana V. It is known that music has deep psychological effects on us. After all, the human ear is the first sense to develop. That's why many pediatricians recommend classical music (specifically Mozart) even when the baby is in the womb. Neurotransmitters are stimulated and connections are done effectively, which increases cognitive abilities. A study showed that “elementary school students who listened to mood-calming music while completing mathematical problems were able to complete more problems and solve a higher...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas What is the role of the teacher? To meet the needs of the students, teachers will need to take on multiple roles in the classroom. Staying in one role for too long can hamper a student’s ability to learn. The lesson will become stagnant. As the stages of lesson progress, it is important for the teacher to change roles along with the type of activities. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Diane T. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. Throughout the lessons, some activities will be more student-focused and others that will be more teacher-focused. It is good to have a mix of both. A role such as a controller is more teacher-focused....  [Read more]

  There's another activity for comparing and contrasting the tenses focusing here in this activity on the present perfect and the present perfect continuous. So in the activity, students will start at the start and roll a die. Perhaps they can roll a 5. They will read 'something you've been learning for a long time'. The appropriate sentence may be 'I've been learning English for a long time.' The next student may go and roll 4. They read 'a beautiful place you've visited.' Then, rather than the present perfect continuous, they would use the present perfect tense: 'I visited Paris.' You can encourage students to even ask follow-up questions, which would also include other tenses: 'What was so beautiful about Paris?' Now, this activity will be particularly good for your more...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, a teacher is defined as one who teaches or ones whose occupation is to instruct. A good definition however in today’s society I believe that the teacher’s role has more meaning and is not that simple. And as the years go by it has continued to grow. Before starting my career as a teacher I highly agreed with the first definition but after spending a little over six months inside of the classroom I realize how much more a teacher role can be. The role of a teacher not only fosters the growth in students academically but also provides mentoring, role modeling and several other components. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Rorie-Ann H. Please...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Apart from cognitive development, there is the moral and social development which are very important as well. Because, very young children do not understand that people have different feelings and experiences, but these perspective-taking abilities develop over time until it is quite sophisticated in adults. Kohlberg’s divided it into three levels. The first one is the conventional moral reasoning which is based on personal needs and determination and other rules to avoid punishments. The second’s called the conventional Moral Reasoning which is based on the family’s expectation, traditional values, the laws of society and loyalty to the country. The third is called the post-conventional moral reasoning...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas Teaching may be one of the most ancient practices in human relations as parents teach their children how to develop skills to survive and thrive in the world, and then the social interactions naturally provoke more of it. Although daily life provides endless situations of teaching and learning through sharing experiences, the schools are the center for so, and the teacher is the one who plays the leading role in this process. The present essay will discuss how to describe the teacher's part based on three brief points of view: the etymological reference, historical context, followed by the ESL ITT standpoint. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Talita P....  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas A teacher who teaches students in an environment using their native language will play various roles in the classroom. My interpretation of these roles includes their abilities to facilitate and manage learning through their personalities, have an understanding of their student’s needs while also being a genuine messenger. As a manager, it is the teacher’s responsibility to control the environment and organization of the classroom, the students’ behavior, and the class syllabus. As a messenger, it is the teacher’s responsibility to deliver the content on the syllabus to the students to improve their reading and writing abilities. We can, therefore, summarize the main role of a teacher teaching in an...  [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 Teaching Ideas This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Kirill K. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. A large number of people would agree that making mistakes stimulates them to do things better. Undoubtedly, the mistakes made by students play a pivotal role in improving language skills and acquiring the target language properly. Thus, an English teacher should know how to correct them appropriately. A teacher should be aware of the fact that not only does correct learners show that they have made something wrong, but also implies that the teacher is eager to help students and demonstrates how to put their mistakes right. Most importantly, the teacher...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences “Teacher”, this word is linked with everyone’s life in a very sensitive and special way. Have you ever observed a child who has just started his/her school life? If you have, you will see that the child follows his/her teacher blindly. The very common reply a parent gets when they try to teach their child some new math technique or holding the pencil etc. is “No, my teacher showed me this way.” At home, they often start speaking the way (I would not say imitate) their teacher speaks with them. They admire them so much that they never stop talking about them after returning home. And a common role-play game we all play during our childhood is being a teacher. So, it’s quite understood how important...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina TEFL Information Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas Over the past few centuries, British dominance in the world paved the way for the English language to become the universal communication tool. As the British colonized various parts of the world, they set up educational institutions so that the educated migrants would rise within the ranks of that particular society and eventually become influential members creating change.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas As stated in Unit 1, a good teacher “cares about his/her teaching, but cares even more about the learning of the students”. This statement emphasizes the fact that an effective teacher should not only maintain a good and positive attitude towards their teaching but should maintain a good relationship with the students while creating the most engaging and friendly environment as possible so that the students can acquire the skills they need to be successful. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Lucy E. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT.

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 This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate MUSTAFA N. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. The role of the teacher can be divided an analyzed in two different ways; One is the education and knowledge, (part 1) Second is the personality and communication abilities, (part 2) Part one is a general precondition for every candidate, but part two is indispensable, especially in primary education. We mostly hear such sayings: “A good teacher is a good student at the same time.” “If you are a good student, then most probably you can be a good teacher.” When we look back to our history of humanity, we almost always see that being a...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas “As an ESL teacher, you may feel that your students aren't paying attention, or participating in class even though you have the perfect lesson plan.” This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Angela G. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. The thought of playing or using games as a teaching tool inside the classroom may sound intriguing, whether you’re a student, a parent of a student, a tutor, a friend of a student or someone just interested in gaining more insight into either learning or teaching English as a second language. You might be wondering how beneficial and productive games or fun activities would be and the impact they...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Teaching is a profession that calls upon a teacher to embody many different characteristics and qualities for them to be able to perform in their role successfully. Among other things, an argument can be made that it is essential, or at least beneficial, for a teacher to be someone who is or can become comfortable in their role for their students. A key component of achieving this goal is to be confident in their ability. Careful examination suggests that a greater level of self-confidence on the part of the teacher in the classroom positively affects the learning experience for students and the teaching experience for the teacher.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas I think the teacher plays an important part in teaching English. And to be an English teacher needed professional teaching methods and cultural background. Because for many learners, the teacher is the font of all knowledge on English grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, and in these areas, they have particular responsibility and authority. At the same time, in different lesson parts, teachers need to switch roles to help students learn English. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Shu Y. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. During a different lesson, the teacher will have a different role. And different roles have different effects...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Every English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher desires to successfully teach their students how to proficiently speak, understand, and use the English language. English is a very complex language, and teaching it presents many challenges. Because of this, an ESL teacher must be willing and able to take on various roles throughout the teaching of a lesson. During a typical ESL lesson, a teacher will have some, or all, of the following roles: a manager or controller, an organizer, an observer, an assessor, a prompter, a participant, and a resource or facilitator. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Jennifer N. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina TEFL Information Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas Teaching can be a gratifying career, but with it comes great responsibility. Possessing a high grasp of grammar, teaching theories, techniques, etc., will hold you in good stead. However, there are many other wide-ranging characteristics required to be a great teacher.
