Keeping all students motivated throughout class can be a difficult goal to achieve. As human individuality is growing in popularity and importance, most classrooms have children with varying hobbies and interests. Some classes might even have students of varying ages or cultural backgrounds. While keeping all students interested, engaged, and motivated throughout class may be difficult, three key ways can help make it much easier: having a positive, patient attitude; getting to know students, and appealing to a variety of interests.

Is online TEFL certification as valuable as in-class certification? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT TEFL & TESOL
TEFL (Teach English as a Foreign Language) certification is a crucial qualification for individuals looking to teach English to non-native speakers. It equips teachers with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively teach English language learners. There are two main types of TEFL certification: online and in-class.

These programs are often self-paced, allowing candidates to study at their own convenience. Additionally, online courses are usually more affordable than in-class options, making them accessible...

Motivation in Class as it is - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
According to the Cambridge dictionary, motivation is the need or reason for doing something. Motivation is a way to get somebody to complete something that they might not aspire to execute on his or her own. Teachers have been using different forms of motivation in the classroom for years, which has been positive and negative. My parents used to tell me stories about their school time when the teachers would smack their hands with rulers if they didn't do their homework. They would also use the same rulers to smack the students' buttocks when they were misbehaving. When I was in school our motivation to perform satisfactorily in the class was to get decent grades.

How to Troubleshoot in a TEFL Class? - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
As with most situations in life, a teacher will run into a set of particular difficulties in the course of his/her career. Unruly students, elusive questions, challenges with the composition of the class in terms of level or age, difficulties adapting course books to the needs of the class, etc. It is up to the experienced teacher to decipher these situations and to see which possible fix to apply to them. It is imperative that a teacher sees the situations for what they are and not for what they should be. In essence, the best course of action is to strike a balance between the class' needs and the individual student's needs. The challenge is maintaining a positive learning environment by pinpointing the root causes of off-task behavior whether it is... [Read more]

Teaching a Large Class: My Challenging Experience - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
Back in 2014, I worked at a nursery school here in South Africa. I was the English teacher for the three to four-year-olds at this school. There were 32 students in my class. My class was so small that during nap time two students had to sleep on one mattress. There was no space to leave the class once the children had fallen asleep. I had to make sure that all my belongings were out of the class once the students came in for their naptime or I had to leave whatever was forgotten behind once I was one my way to my next job. In unit 3 on page 21, they talk about the whole class grouping pros and cons and that is really explained well where they say "class grouping is suitable for activities where the teacher needs to be in control" or "have the...
