Mon, 01 Apr 2019 Mark Crocker TEFL Information Alumni Experiences Why Teachers Need to Complete a TEFL Certification Course Before Heading Overseas English has quickly become the leading language of the world. Whether we like it or not, most countries have chosen English as the language of business and international interaction, and because of this, many are pushing their people to learn English as a second language. To help guide this initiative, many businesses, schools, and private households are hiring native English-speakers to teach English to those wishing to learn. While learning directly from a native speaker is the ideal way to learn a new language, unfortunately, it is common for many English speakers to go abroad and hope to be able to teach effectively with no prior...  [Read more]

Tue, 30 Apr 2019 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas Why is Classroom Discipline Important? As a teacher you are in charge of a classroom of children, it can be relatively hard to meet all students needs and maintain control. A lot of teachers develop alternative ways to manage students.

Thu, 09 May 2019 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences How many roles does an ESL teacher serve in the classroom? Nowadays being a teacher means more than just executing lesson plans while standing up at the front of the class giving explanations; we were used to this type of teacher when the traditional schools were "teacher-centered" so the students assumed a passive and quiet way to access the knowledge. It seemed not worked out well regarding English as a second language learning, and for this reason, most schools adopted a more "student-centered" approach in the classroom.

Mon, 27 Jul 2020 Elizaveta Pachina TEFL Information Should a TEFL Certification be Mandatory for Teachers? The importance of a course such as a TEFL is easy to overlook when you consider the multitude of teaching jobs that are available around the globe that require no teacher training whatsoever.

For those looking to travel whilst earning some money, these countries can provide a good balance of income and culture, as well as easy access to other countries in the area.
