Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Emphasize the most critical concepts continuously. Reiterate these concepts in lectures and assignments throughout the course.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas It has been suggested that most students prefer one to one teaching as opposed to being taught as a group. This is because there are some differences in teaching one on one and group lessons. These can be noticed in the teaching methods, tips and strategies. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Michael A. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. A good example is in the time requirement because teaching time differs from one on one and group activities as well as how much time the students invest. One on one learning lets the students work at their own pace, which has a positive and negative impact. Some students will finish quickly and either feel accomplished or be bored in...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas The more a teacher speaks the less attention the learners will pay. Decreasing teacher speaking time can be done with a few practical steps and wonderful teaching methods. It all starts with proper planning. When designing a lesson plan be sure to include assignments and activities that will engage your students and do not call for a teacher dominant role. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Johnelle M. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. Using activities in the classroom that engage the students is very important.

Elizaveta Pachina TEFL Information Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas It is well known that the population of students in the same class is usually heterogeneous. In other words, all students have different learning abilities, talents, intelligence, interests, and maturity level. A teacher's task is to understand how to help each student to learn best. Educators use various teaching techniques, methods, and tools to reach students' needs. There are different ways to teach the classes with mixed learning abilities, and among them are the strategies that work well in the multilevel classes. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Aya A. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT.

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Motivating students is always a challenge and can, in fact, be one of the most difficult parts of education. There are countless ways to either encourage or intimidate a student into completing their work or participating in class but these external motivators have a limited effect. Encouragement and praise may only motivate a student while they are seated in the classroom. A teacher expressing disappointment on an uncompleted assignment may only encourage the student to avoid the subject or course work altogether. One of the best ways I have found for motivating students is to find a student's internal motivation. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Taylor O. Almost every student has a goal or image of what their life could be...  [Read more]

From a young age, virtually every child hears stories. From folktales to novels to family anecdotes, stories are a large part of language learning in nearly every culture. As such, it is only natural that stories be a large part of teaching English as a foreign language to children. Not only is it a familiar form of language acquisition, but it keeps...  [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 Teaching Ideas The teaching of business English by definition means that your students/clients will be adults. English is the modern language of business. As markets have become global, businesses at all levels have had to adapt and train their staff in English usage, both written and spoken. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Jessica H. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT.

Most of the language of any business interaction is...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Motivation is a crucial part of learning and it has grave importance especially in an ESL classroom. Language teachers should be aware of their role in motivating their students and take responsibility while teaching. Students tend to get easily demotivated while they are learning a new language since it involves making many mistakes and devoting a lot of time and effort. Teachers should help their students to keep their motivation level high. There are three main steps for motivating learners. Teachers should start with setting attainable goals, blend their needs and interests while teaching and acknowledge their accomplishments.

Linda Dunsmore Alumni Experiences “Students who stop working at the first moment of perceived difficulty are even more perplexing because their lack of persistence is often confused with laziness. While it may be tempting to just advise students to keep trying, this advice seldom resolves the problem. (Julia G. Thompson)” Outlined in the article mentioned above are 28 different ways to build persistent and confident students. Below, I have summarized the 4 best ways to build confidence and persistence in students. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Nicholas R. The first suggestion was to activate prior knowledge to have the student relate to the lesson. This is a perfect example of the first step of the ESA lesson plan model. If the teacher is able to...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences I work in two schools. I am an assistant language teacher at one commercial (low-level English) high school, and an integrated (high-level English) academic junior high and high school. I have had experiences with different kinds of students, Japanese-English teachers, and classroom atmospheres. In Japan, students take an entrance exam to get into high school. If they scored low on the entrance exam, then they are placed in the lowest ranking class. Each school has a certain number of classrooms for each grade. Both of my high schools have six classes total for each grade. There are usually around forty to forty-two students in each class as well. Teaching forty plus students in a crowded classroom is difficult. And unlike many stereotypes of...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas As a teacher of English, one may need to identify some areas that are essential in teaching even though the syllabus doesn’t mention them. For instance, what to teach is suggested but not how to do that. Having taken courses in pedagogy and didactics in Sweden (in the Swedish language) was and still is highly appreciated, but I may consider the TEFL and CTEYLS courses more satisfying when it comes to investigating ways and possibilities of designing a syllabus in teaching English. Another consequence of studying these courses is that it may as well result in better understanding and improving methods of preparing the French language as well. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Bassem F. Please note that this blog post might not...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Once I arrived in Vietnam to teach the English language, I realized that poor pronunciation is common in Vietnamese students as well as teachers. These mistakes are similar, as it was obvious the Vietnamese teachers passed them to the students. In this essay, I am going to deliberate on the causes of the problem and suggest a few solutions. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Mohammad E. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. First, we will start with the problem origin. The Vietnamese language is monosyllabic. Vietnamese people are familiar with pronouncing monosyllabic words, thus it is considerably hard for them to pronounce multi-syllabic words, like English words. They...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas I have taught English before in an English tutoring institute in Korea on two separate occasions. I am American but I grew up in South Korea. For extra money, I started teaching English for the first time at age 19. I taught very young children, from age 4 to age 7. It was extremely difficult because there were probably about 20 students and at those ages’ children have such different mental capacities. Therefore, teaching was almost impossible as the older children picked up everything very quickly and would become bored and loud, while the younger children would be too scared to talk and practice anything. It felt much more like a daycare than any English class. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Michael A. Please note that this...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Change is coming to the way that English is taught in Japanese public schools. The changes to the curriculum by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT) increase the teaching of English at all levels of schooling. The goal of this change is, in the words of Ikuko Tsuboya-Newel, founder and chair of Tokyo International School, “The government has decided that beginning in 2020 all high school graduates must achieve a level of English equivalent to B1” (“Why do Japanese have trouble learning English?”, The Japan Times, October 29, 2017). To achieve that goal, high school entrance exams are expected to include more testing of productive skills in English. Therefore, junior high school students are expected to have...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Students are never on the same proficiency as one another. Whether that would be in Math class, Science class, or English class. Everyone has their own abilities and own knowledge. As a teacher, this can be an exciting challenge. There are many ways that you can improve learning in your mixed-ability classroom. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Bevan S. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. One way to do this would be to pair the more proficient students with the less proficient students for an activity or two. Another thing a teacher could do would be to create an activity where the class is forced to move around and discuss with different peers, that way they can work...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas What qualities should a teacher have? Personal or professional qualities, and which ones are more important? For example, is it possible for a teacher to be charged with a duty to love children, or is it enough that he treats them with respect and good knowledge of his subject? Should a teacher be an outgoing leader? Which teacher is better - kind or strict? This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Alla S.

Every English teacher must know the language. It would seem obvious! However, the simple truth is often neglected. People, who have decided to...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Many factors can impact students’ motivation such as social, psychological, educational, economical, etc. However, a teacher can still play an important role to keep the students motivated. In Afghanistan’s educational tradition, students are often compared to each other, and they are ranked based on tests and exams throughout the course. Additionally, the teacher corrects every student’s assignment. Notice the word “correct” has been used instead of “mark” or “assess.” The teacher will try to point out every single mistake or error. Having six years of English language teaching experience, plus observing my colleagues’ and students’ behaviour, and studying the methods of foreign language teaching , I have realized that teachers can...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Creative writing classes are fun. Creative writing classes are rewarding. And sometimes, creative writing classes can be highly frustrating. I remember sitting down on a rainy day in Kunming, China, in front of me a cup of tea and a pile of homework assignments from my creative writing class. And I remember my disappointment as text after text turned out to be virtually identical, each one a variation of a popular Chinese fairy tale. Even the names of the characters seemed to have been picked from a very small pool of available names. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Jan T. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. Creativity is not a priority in Chinese classrooms. Even when...  [Read more]
