Fri, 26 Jun 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Hanging on Every Word: The Importance of Cultural Sensitivity in the EFL Classroom The student sitting in front of his teacher was upset, unwilling-- perhaps unable-- to engage in the classroom activity taking place around him. The task seemed harmless enough-- a simple game of hangman to solidify vocabulary retention-- but had left this student paralyzed. The student's teacher, my friend Tom, did not press the issue but rather waited to have a conversation with his student until after class when all of the other students had left for the day. “Teacher, my brother died. The army hangs him.” Tom was devastated. In his attempt to provide a playful opportunity for learning, he had forced a student to relive a trauma that had forever...  [Read more]

Tue, 16 Jun 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Teaching Beginner Students and Students with Learning Difficulties Teaching can be difficult or very easy, but either way, it is fun.As a tutor, I have experienced teaching beginner students for the past two years. Beginner students have a huge difference between classmates. Some have already known many words when they even have not started their primary school life. Some of them do not know the 26 alphabets when their primary school life has already started, so when you put them into the same class, it is quite challenging for teachers to prepare materials. However, on the bright side, younger students tend to learn fast so they can easily catch up with other students. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Cheuk...  [Read more]

Wed, 05 Aug 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas 5 Factors Influencing The Choice of Activities for Students With Shorter Attention Spans First of all, I notice that adults have a bigger focus on what the teacher is saying and doing during the lesson, than the kids or teenagers. It is because, in my opinion, adults realize why they need to study English. For example, they will be able to find a better job or they may get an enhancement. So they know it is one of the important goals for them for a particular period of their life. And speaking about kids, they are too young first of all. They do not have a clue what is a goal and why they need it. The only thing they know is that their parents want them to study well, but it’s not enough in a lot of cases. And sometimes the kids...  [Read more]

Tue, 18 May 2021 Shirin Sophy Alumni Experiences How to Deal with Different Types of Students Despite the rising parents' education attainment and the high level of awareness, they show towards their offsprings' nurture, students' misbehavior is still a controversial aspect of pedagogy. As teachers, what we are dealing with today is supposed to be a generation of well-brought-up juveniles craving for personal development, but the truth appears to be slightly different. Even though some believe that teachers are simply losing their authority as a result of lax school discipline approaches, many reasons hidden behind students' misbehavior can easily be recognized and dealt with. There is, of course, a very wide range of reasons for students' misbehavior, but we're going to go through...  [Read more]

Sat, 20 Nov 2021 Hadassah Roberts Destinations TEFL Information Top Tips for English Teachers for Dealing with Contentions between their Co-workers We are all human. Let’s face it. Arguments, miscommunications, and considerations are inevitable. Unless we are going to go hide in the mountains forever to be alone, we are going to disagree with people and be disagreed with.

Fri, 22 May 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Top Tips for EFL Teaching in a Kindergarten Setting I would like to start by saying that some jobs look simple and many people would deem they are easy at first sight. Alright, it is not completely true. One will never know how something tastes until tasting it his/her own. It is the same thing with the teaching task. Some people would say it is an easy peasy job; just stand right there giving instructions on the front of a couple of students. It is entirely the opposite, it is a tiring job, but the tire here is more related to one's psychology and inner side. However, it is relative for teachers depending on many standards like the age of the students, culture, or nationality. This post was written by our TEFL certification...  [Read more]
