6 Reasons To Use Flashcards When Teaching Teenagers And Adults
This summary is focused on the use of flashcards with activities that the English teachers can use in the teaching-learning process. These activities are created not only to present new vocabulary, and practice pronunciation, but also to get students to participate in class.

Moreover, the main focus is that flashcards engage the ability to think clearly which is considered efficient learning. The majority of this generation learns best by seeing the information in an example format. Students of all ages are far more likely to remember visuals rather... [Read more]

How do I get a job teaching English in Thailand?
Securing a teaching job in Thailand, one of Asia's top travel destinations, requires several steps. Potential English teachers should possess a bachelor's degree and earning a TEFL certification with 120 hours and teaching practice is typically essential. Candidates should also maintain a clean criminal record, provide a health certificate, and be over 21 years of age. Obtaining a non-immigrant visa followed by a work permit finalizes the process.

How to Teach Slang and Help Students Incorporate Them in Their Speach?
What do you normally hear when you walk into a convenience store? Do you hear a man tell you, "Hello, how are you doing today?" or "Good morning?". The answer is likely no. More often than not you hear someone say "Sup, dude!" or "What's happening?" or some other kind of non-conventional English that would normally not find its home in the ESL classroom. Therefore, it is vital to teaching the students slang and idioms so that when they get into a real conversation outside of the classroom, they aren't thrown off or left in the dust by a few turns of phrase.

The Principles of Motivating in the ESL Class
Before a student is going to succeed, they have to want to succeed. Students have to find their reason why. As an English teacher, it is important to be able to help someone discover what motivates them, and help them use it as a driving force. Students from all around the world will have different reasons for wanting to learn English. It is not a teacher's job to give students a reason, it is their job to remind them of that reason and support them throughout their English learning journey.

Common standards must be met by every American student in classes like mathematics, science, social studies, and language arts. English language learners are held to the same standards and given the same assessments in these different content area classes. Are these assessments a true measure of what an English language learner knows? How can teachers prepare English language learners for the rigors and expectations of the American educational system? Teachers who are prepared can help these students to succeed in both their learning of the new language and the content of the academic classes in which they are enrolled.

What do TEFL teachers wear?
When it comes to dress there is no correct answer as many schools have their own dress policy. In some schools men will be required to wear a suit and tie and women a pantsuit or skirt and dress shirt/jacket. Others will allow casual clothes such as a t-shirt and jeans, although most will fall somewhere in between these two extremes. The best advice is to ask the appropriate questions during the interview process to ensure you know what is expected. Otherwise you should lean towards the professional side of things for your first day and then you can adjust your dress accordingly.
