Anastasiia Ovchinnikova Visa and Legal Budget and Salary Destinations Alumni Experiences When we think of moving to China, we often imagine this marvelous picture of futuristic cities, glass skyscrapers, and 24/7 buzzing big city lifestyle. That was me 4 years ago while packing my suitcases to start a new chapter of my life in this far and foreign country. I was so fresh yet naïve having graduated with a BA in Linguistics when I was offered a job as a kindergarten teacher in Tianjin.

Absolutely amazing. After arriving in China, imagine my surprise when it took me more than two hours...  [Read more]

Luciana Maluf TEFL Information Alumni Experiences Neurodiversity celebrates the differences between our brains and as a concept in itself, it is relatively new. It was first used in a magazine back in 1998 and was coined as a term by Singer in 1999, whose son had Asperger's syndrome. Neurodiversity describes the different ways in which brains develop, leading to different strengths and challenges related to thinking and learning. People with dyslexia, autism and ADHD are examples of neurodivergent learners. Neurodiverse English language students are not trying to be disruptive just because we must support and have modifications in place to make the educational process more accessible to all. Some neurodivergent students may have disabilities, but others may not. First, we must educate...  [Read more]

This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Lenuta M. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT.

One method is to engage them using songs and movements. Even if they don't understand the lyrics, the rhythm and teacher's body language is attractive and will...  [Read more]

Federico Riva Teaching Ideas The following essay is based on my personal experience of teaching one-to-one English lessons to young children (ages ranging from 5-14), through online platforms and companies. Engaging students through a virtual classroom presents challenges for teachers for several reasons. The first being that throughout the time of the lesson the child sees only the teacher and the given background. In other words, there are no sources of distraction or points of interest besides the teacher herself/himself and, as is known, it is especially important for young learners that the environment and the delivery of the lessons be as interesting and fun as possible. For online lessons, this becomes of paramount importance as the teacher is the only person the student will see...  [Read more]
