What Classes Do I Need To Be A Teacher

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences When it comes to learning a new language, people have certain insecurity, fear or embarrassment about speaking in front of strangers, for making mistakes can be quite embarrassing. Learning a new language is always a challenge since you need to know a new grammar, a new culture and a language that is, in general, relatively different from yours. There are people who, until they get the hang of their new language, die ashamed to speak in front of others. Others are already more comfortable with whom they share doubts. But which is better? Individual or group class? This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Claudia V. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or...  [Read more]

Laura Payne Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas I am currently working as an Assistant Language Teacher in Japan. Before I began this job I assumed that because Japan has a largely homogeneous population, all of my classes would be monolingual. However, I was wrong in this assumption. In addition to my Japanese students, I have many students who are Brazilian or Filipino. These students largely do not use Japanese as their mother tongue and have to learn both English and Japanese as a second language. This diverse student population, in addition to my work experiences and studies, has taught me a lot about working with both monolingual and multilingual classes. In the few monolingual classes that I teach, it is fairly easy to...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas As we all know, teaching a one-on-one class and a group class can be very different in terms of students’ needs and interests, teaching methods, class arrangments and feedback. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Liz M. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. For one to one classes, it is beneficial to students who have personal goals that are different than other students, for example, the students could be a tour guide who needs some tour language or the student could need more practice on pronunciation other than vocabulary. A one-on-one class can easily meet the students' requirements. Whereas for group class the teacher is very...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Once classes are considered, their sizes are the first item that comes to mind since they are held in different sizes and scales. As a definition, Class size concerns with how many students are present in a classroom learning session. However, in terms of several students in a class, it may range from just one student, such as one-to-one individual classes, to 100 students. The average student number in a class is somewhere around 20 to 30 students per class which are different across the countries. As mentioned, the number of students in a class has always been variant but even from Socrates’ time up until now the importance of student population in the learning process has been in no doubts so that...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Teachers are experts, tutors, mentors, superiors, masters, organizers, models, etc. that “rule”, lead or guide students in their learning. They bear the important responsibility of leading the learning of their students towards success (meeting goals). They have a position that requires constant attention and responsibility, usually towards a group and they always need to adapt themselves to the classes and cultural differences. In the many roles and responsibilities that teachers may face, how can they not be nervous about the multiple approaches they could take and the multitude of problems that could appear in their future classes? Especially new teachers, how can they increase their confidence in the...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Shrutee V. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. The main aim is to evaluate the differences between teaching these two different classes. There are several factors to be considered when dealing with multilingual and monolingual classes.

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences I haven’t been a teacher for very long, but I have noticed more and more, since taking this course that a classroom can succeed if a teacher knows that teaching isn’t just the passing of information. The teacher must understand that there are many different types of learners, that they must build a rapport with these learners, and they must tailor lessons based on these aspects. Teaching is more than just teaching a subject or language; this is the best thing I’ve learned from my ITTT classes. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Erin W. As a foundation, to being teaching, I have learned that there are many types of learners, which is a lesson in itself and more than just teaching....  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas I would rather start by sharing my experience with the combination of teaching and living in several different countries to clarify why I have chosen this topic: This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate moein m. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. In the past, when I was younger, I did not have any interest and was not enthusiastic about learning English, and I remember that I always used to escape from foreign language classes. Once I turned to 16 and 17, during high school, I spent most of my time with some friends who knew English well and they were always talking about the top movies and books that were on screen or best sellers....  [Read more]

Federico Riva TEFL Information Teaching Ideas In this blog post, we will discuss some of the more common problems that can be associated with the teaching of Business English classes. They are some of the things that we need to be aware of as teachers about our learners. Firstly we need to bear in mind that very often our students will have been working all day before they come to their English classes and so our students are going to be tired. We need to be aware of that and we need to take account of it within our lessons. It is unreasonable to expect full attention and engagement from our students under these circumstances. Secondly if the students come to us from a particular department in a company which is very often...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Designing the syllabus of a course is one of the greatest challenges a teacher has to face and undertake way in advance to the actual implementation of the said syllabus – and before the actual beginning of any language course. When a teacher starts to plan a syllabus, he/she may not even have an exact, clear and set idea of what is expected of him/her and the students to achieve and complete during and by the end of the course. Still, planning is essential as it can save a lot of time for everyone involved, eliminate many problems, and provide the teacher with a framework and a starting point for plans and modifications. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Zalán Palotai-K. Please note that...  [Read more]

Shirin Sophy Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas It is recalling the anxious and distressing early days of the current outbreaks and the constantly-evolving pressure or numerous obligations we all have unwantedly been experiencing during the pandemic, online teaching, and all of the efforts made by not only teachers but also students in order to adjust to the new normal can be regarded as a giant step into a future phase that would have certainly been postponed if it was not for the necessity. In retrospect, although it was not curious for many teachers to have a limited number of highly motivated students in online classes, such a rapid shift to teaching completely online for more than two alternative years could have sounded...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Troubleshooting is part of the teaching experience. A typical ESL lesson always presents problems. But, other problems arise when the teacher has to face particular situations. A good ESL teacher should be capable to diagnose these usual problems and work to fix them properly. Being a new teacher isn’t easy and regardless of how trained and skilled a teacher is, facing a classroom for the first time can cause nervousness. One of the hardest parts of being a teacher is to establish a rapport student/teacher and in the case of a new group, between the students themselves. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Daniela F. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Educating children is one of the most challenging and rewarding roles. Children are usually illustrated as a bath sponge when it comes to absorbing language input. They could learn easily learn a language without much force at a young age. As teachers or educators, we need to be able to nurture them to have a positive mind and become an independent individual in the future. A child’s future would largely depend on the education they receive when they are young. Thus, it is a teacher’s role to mold children by giving the best education in a positive direction at a young age. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Jze Chen W. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the...  [Read more]

I had already been teaching EFL classes for about one year when a friend of mine introduced me to the company he worked for which specialized in online teaching.

Fast forward a couple of weeks...  [Read more]

Linda Dunsmore TEFL Information Teaching Ideas While you learn about teaching multi-level classrooms when you take a TESOL or TEFL certification course, the reality often looks a little different. It’s true that multi-level ESL classrooms have many benefits for English learners. For example, they have the chance to communicate with each other and learn how to use English through practice and negotiating meaning. For the instructor, teaching multi-level classes can be quite a challenge. It requires more prep time and also involves a high level of classroom management. That’s why we’ve written this post to reveal all you need to know when teaching multi-level ESL classes. It’s not unusual to have a new student with lower...  [Read more]

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...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Deciding whether to teach individuals or group classes can be difficult. There are many similarities as well as differences. The perusal of these two kinds of classes led to charting each difference and similarity. Many of the differences fell under three categories. These three major differences between teaching one-to-one and groups are the class set up, students’ goals/motivations and available activities. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Jade B. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. Teaching individuals can be nerve-racking itself; the class consists of just the teacher and one student. The traditional dynamics of a...  [Read more]
