Tefl reviews - English Grammar Overview Parts Of Speech Adjectives - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
Moving further down our list of parts of speech, we have our adjectives. Adjectives modify or describe nouns. Basically, they give more information about the noun. Here, we've used a noun such as chair. It could be any old chair. It's only the noun. If we want to describe the noun, we need to use an adjective before it. So, I could say "I have an old black leather chair". Here, we have to be concerned about the adjective order. In this instance, I started with age, as age typically goes before color and then I use the color to go before the material. This is a certain pattern. Depending on the adjectives you want to use, you always have to use certain patterns to which you'll need to be aware of when teaching your class. Another way to describe a noun is by showing possession. We... [Read more]

They're vs. Their - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
Register now & get certified to teach english abroad!
Their and they’re sound the same in English and it is a common mistake to mix them up, even for native English speakers. However they have very different meanings.
THEY’RE – Basic Explanation
THEY’RE = THEY ARE
They’re is a contraction of they are.
THEIR – Basic Explanation
THEIR = a possessive adjective. It shows possession, that something belongs to some people you are not talking to right now.
Examples of other possessive adjectives are MY, YOUR, HIS, and HER:
My car, your car, his car, her car, their car.
THEIR is also used for a group of two or more people that are not with you right now.

Let's take a look at the different types of Articles in English! Learn article definitions and how to use definite and indefinite articles in sentences with the ESL infographic below.
An article is defined as a word that modifies or describes a noun. Adjectives are used before the noun to show whether it refers to something specific or not. So, in a way, articles can also be described as a type of adjective as they also tell us something about the noun, just like adjectives.
There are two types of articles in the English language, they are indefinite articles (a, an) and definite article (the).
Definite means to be clear, exact or obvious about something. It is called definite because it is used in relation... [Read more]

4 Super Easy Tips for Teaching Vocabulary to Young Learners - TEFL Blog
Linda Dunsmore
Teaching Ideas
When students hear 'vocabulary', they may expect to hear the word 'list' next. More often than not, we associate the word 'list' with 'boring'! We think of 2 daunting columns of black letters on white paper: one with the native language and one with the target language. But it doesn't have to be that way, and for teaching young learners, it cannot be that way. Certainly, teaching vocabulary will involve lists that help learners to receive language methodically and thoroughly. But what a teacher does with the vocabulary lists can be creative and fun and, most of all, memorable!Table of Contents

5 Ideas on How to Implement Stories into Your ESL Teaching - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
Stories provide a natural and relevant context for the exposure to English language and storytelling built on the children's innate capacity for fantasy and imaginative play, making it an essential aspect to be integrated into language lessons. Beyond just language skills, students are also able to acquire critical thinking skills such as predicting, hypothesizing, categorizing, sequencing, and inferring meaning through various storytelling activities. Stories are also used to enhance children's concentration skills and develop moral and emotional intelligence by teaching students to empathize with the characters in the story. Storytelling can be extended to include activities for children to retell, act out, and create their own stories. Therefore... [Read more]
