The Best Learning Techniques Every Teacher Should Know - TEFL Blog

Teaching Ideas
I have always loved and benefited from etymological definitions of words and always wonder sometimes even the etymological definition of a very simple word like "sorry" which leads to great insights and a better understanding of that particular word which in turn pays off in ways that have a great positive impact on both my personal and professional life. For that very reason, I have found the etymological definitions of both words "learning" and "techniques".

The Essential Set of Personal Qualities Every Teacher Should Have - TEFL Blog

Since my childhood, I have been frequently asked the same question "what kind of teacher do you want?" At different life stages, I have different answers. When I was a kid, I would say a teacher who dresses neatly and smiles nicely; when I was a teenager, I would prefer a "cool" teacher as a good teacher, who behaves differently from other boring and stereotyping adults; until I grow up, I think a good teacher should have sound subject knowledge, be fair and consistent with all of the students as well as being sensitive to the students' reactions and providing necessary support, and until now I know being a good teacher has nothing to do with his/her appearances and dressings.
