Phonics is very commonly used in Hong Kong's kindergarten to teach children the sound of the words. It involves matching the sounds of spoken English with individual letters or groups of letters. For example, the sound k can be spelled as c, k, ck or ch.Table of Contents

What I learned About a Teacher’s Attitude During My TEFL Certification Course - TEFL Blog
Mark Crocker
Alumni Experiences
During my Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certification, I learned several valuable lessons.

Two Cases on Effective Student Motivation - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
A gifted American educator has said, 'motivation is the key to turn hopeless, hostile students into eager and ambitious achievers. It is useless to teach when students are not motivated. One can only have the information processed and digested in a stand of filtered out when their mind is open when they believe in themselves that they can do it. And if the ways of motivation are rightly chosen, if it's carried out by a driving, dedicated and patient teacher, gradually, and often quite swiftly, the gap in-betweens will be filled, and the learning begins.Table of Contents

Why Should Students be Praised for their Achievements in the Classroom? - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
Even though some people might disagree with the idea of praising students in the classroom, I hold a strong belief that it is of paramount importance. Praising assists teachers in making students aware of what they have attained. It can be done verbally, through body language or in writing. Nevertheless, praise should be timely, honest, and measured. It could be mutually advantageous for teachers and students. The former will benefit from cementing a healthy relationship with the latter; and the latter will be able to strengthen his or her confidence. Conversely, it could have a detrimental effect on both. For this reason, I will exemplify the advantages and challenges in praising that I have come across in my career as an English Teacher.Table of... [Read more]
