Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Education is the key to everything good in the world. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, “education is the process of teaching or learning.” This process of teaching and learning should not only be at school, college or university. The process of teaching and learning should first start in the home. This is where the parents come in. Their role in the education of their children is very important from the onset because they are the foundation of learning for their children.

Anastasiya Akpinar Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas Teaching online wasn't something totally unknown when many schools turned to distance education in 2020. Even before, many teachers had face-to-face or group lessons via different online programs. As well as webinars, courses, and conferences, online teaching took its usual part in modern life. So what has changed so drastically after the online school project has started? Why was it so confusing and hard to get used to? The answer is within us: daily routine, habits, style of teaching and studying were changed into a digital way. Some teachers and students found it easy and exciting to continue in this direction. Some of us couldn't get used to distance studying at all....  [Read more]

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]

Charlotte Lam TEFL Information Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas Changes in school are a very common situation, especially during these days when there is so much uncertainty in society—for instance, the pandemic situation, the economy, etc. We have experienced a lot of changes in school, including school suspension, online teaching, teaching during the pandemic, etc. In this post, I will outline how to cope with changes and what you can do to have a successful change in school.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas There is something special about a teacher. The role they play in a student’s life and education is undeniable. Just think about your school days and the role your teachers played on the road you find yourself today. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Huibré T.

Kavinna Batra TEFL Information Alumni Experiences Education comes in many forms, whether through months of hands-on training or years of schooling. Education comes in many forms. Yet, nowadays, it seems like a college degree is the best and the most meritorious achievement in education –something that employers not only support but also demand. To produce this article, I questioned some of my fellow colleagues and professionals from the teaching field in my close circle. "The concept has evolved somewhere in the last 20 years that you need a college degree to ensure your professional success," said AIP managing director Adam Ling. "This has led to many people seeking a four-year degree program and even a master's degree...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Without knowing it nor intending it to be, my path has been strongly directed and focused on education and it was since Elementary School that I felt that something was wrong with me in the nowadays education system. After struggling a lot with learning as I was supposed to and believing that I was not smart enough, I finally took a subject at college that changed my thinking. This subject was called Educational Psychology and it was based on the actual necessity of creating a revolution or a change in education. Within the years we have been de-humanizing education at the point that we don’t even ask ourselves what is the purpose of what we are learning or teaching. We have become like side-blinded horses that...  [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.

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 Alumni Experiences In everyone's life, there is at least one person that can be called a teacher, and it doesn't matter who is it — our older neighbor living next door or the person standing at the blackboard in a classroom for hours and trying to give you a piece of knowledge in some way. Anyway, we get something in the result. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Ivan S. The teaching profession is very difficult. Teachers are people who play a big role in the formation of personality. Any teacher needs to realize what a huge responsibility he has.

Carrie Kellenberger Visa and Legal TEFL Information Learning how to answer common questions in an ESL interview is easy if you’ve researched and prepared in advance, even if you’ve never had a formal job interview before. Before we head into answering the top 15 most asked questions in a TEFL interview, there are a few things to check off your to-do list before interviewing: 1. Tell me a little about yourself.

Explain why you are interested in moving abroad to teach and focus on the care and attention you will give...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Trying to gain confidence in the classroom is a hurdle that all new teachers must face when first starting. Every teacher I’ve spoken to, tells me about the horror they felt when they stood before their very first classroom full of students.
