Fri, 28 Feb 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Problems Japan Faces in Developing English as a Second Language There are several challenges Japan faces when it comes to learning English as a second language.

In a world of globalization, where your goods and services can come from literally any part of the globe. Japan is one of the few remaining homogenous cultures where English is still seen as an optional language. As the global economy becomes more global, the English language will likely become less optional, but essential.

Wed, 17 Mar 2021 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas The Necessity of Understanding An EFL Student's Learning Experience As teachers, we often assume that we understand what our students are going through and that we can relate to the experience of learning in school because we have been there ourselves.

Personally, though I do not know how many TEFL teachers have experienced a foreign language and culture for an extended period, I have had the privilege to...  [Read more]
