Cultural Features in an ESL Classroom in the UAE - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
Coming from the UK and only working with British students, when I arrived in the UAE which is an Arab country following a strong Islamic faith, most of my new work colleagues and students were Arabs and followers of Islam. The last six years of working in the UAE have taught me a valuable lesson about why cultural sensitivity is so important, especially when working with the future generation of a nation, not only am I building rapport as a teacher, but also as a representative of my own country.

Observation is an essential element in the teaching-learning process. It is a powerful tool that is underestimated by some teachers, the fact which in its turn hinders the progress of the students and slows down the teacher's professional development. Observation can be viewed from different aspects such as peer observation, self-observation, and observation of the students at the lesson.

Deciding to be a teacher in a kindergarten can be intimidating for some inexperienced teachers in the beginning.

Problems for Learners of English in Italy - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
Learning a new language can be a wonderful experience. However, its success depends on several factors. Personal propensity above all. By this, I mean interest and passion for whatever language it is we have set our minds to learn. More often than not this propensity involves a sort of an innate talent which makes it easier for some students to master specific language skills. The right hint of motivation goes hand in hand with the environment. At a very early stage, this environment is represented by our teachers, masters, and tutors. Their ability to pass on the interest of another language will be crucial. How are we ever going to enjoy foreign language classes if they are carried out in a monotonous and dull manner? They have to be diverse and... [Read more]
