Tue, 30 Apr 2019 Mark Crocker Alumni Experiences From Student to Teacher - My Language Journey It was the last day of Japanese class and my teacher's last day of teaching at our school. We were all standing up getting ready to bow him one last time. It was dead quiet but I could still hear sniffles around me and felt the sadness of the moment.

Flash forward to a few years ago, I went to Japan for the first time, after a hiatus of not studying Japanese, but amazingly I still had all the skills my teacher had taught me in high school.

Mon, 29 Mar 2021 Elizaveta Pachina TEFL Information Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas Two Useful Practices to Decrease Teacher Talking Time As a teacher, our role is to be the leader in the classroom. However, this does not mean that we should be speaking in front of the class the entire class time.

That is why I will propose two ways we can decrease teacher speaking time. Table of Contents Practice 1 Practice 2: Are you...  [Read more]
