Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Today's technology-based society has a significant impact on how English is both experienced and taught. A great number of professionals spend a large part of their day on the Internet and interacting with all that it and ICT, in general, has to offer.

Mark Crocker TEFL Information Alumni Experiences For the last year, I have been learning Korean in my free time. Besides the obvious differences in alphabet, pronunciation, and grammar structure, one of the most striking differences between English and Korean is the use of formal and informal language. I was intrigued by the idea that a person speaks to different people in different politeness levels based on age or hierarchy, and was surprised to find that a majority of other languages also follow some form of this approach.Table of Contents Formal and Informal Language Formal Language in English The Lack of Rules The Pros and Cons of Learning a Neutral Language Listen to this blog post Are you ready to teach English abroad?

Transitioning from teaching English as a second language (ESL) to teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) involves understanding the key differences between the two approaches. In an ESL context, students are typically living in an English-speaking country and are surrounded by the language in their daily lives. On the other hand, EFL students are learning English in a non-English-speaking country, where exposure to the language may be more limited. This fundamental distinction impacts teaching methodologies, classroom dynamics, and the needs of students, requiring teachers to adapt their strategies accordingly. As an ESL teacher looking to transition to EFL teaching, you can leverage your existing skills and knowledge to make a successful switch. Your experience in lesson planning,...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Learning is a complex process, especially when it comes to learning languages. This is because each language learning experience is unique since it is dependent on the situation, motivational factors, and the experiences of the learner. The very first language experience that any human being has is very early on in their childhood. Typically starting around the age of 1 or 2 years. The other languages they may come across during their lives and pick up from school, work, books, movies, or language classes will always be a much different experience than the language they had originally learned by being exposed to it and surrounded by it. Of course, some individuals are exposed to more than one language during early childhood and possess more than just...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences A language is a tool for people to communicate, so there must be some connections among different languages, include similarities and differences. If we can use their similarities properly and pay attention to differences, different languages can be interlinked.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas This topic, in particular, is of great interest to me as someone who managed to acquire two languages (Mandarin Chinese and English) at a high level. For me the journey was completely painless and the word 'acquired' is fitting since I personally never felt I had to actively undergo a 'study' to learn either language, but this statement is dependant on how we define studying and learning languages, and in turn: teaching languages.
