To become a good teacher, there are specific qualities, skills, and techniques that must be demonstrated and applied in teaching. A TEFL course or certificate can provide and encourage these skills and techniques to achieve successful language teaching. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences I am in my 3rd year of working in the countryside of Japan as an Assistant Language Teacher (ALT) in public elementary and junior high schools. An ALT's official job description is to be the assistant to a Japanese Teacher of Language (JTL). In my experience, especially in elementary schools, the ALT is not seen as an assistant but as "the English teacher" since the regular homeroom teacher has no training or experience with ESL. In most cases, the ALT has a degree in a field unrelated to teaching and has no qualifications. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Carl S.

Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. A real writer, however, will tell you things are just the other way around. There can be no doubt that a good writer endlessly seeks perfection in words. Not until they mirror the thoughts in their brain does the process stop. From a pedagogical perspective,...  [Read more]
