A Teacher’s Role in a Classroom's Daily Life - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
A teacher who teaches students in an environment using their native language will play various roles in the classroom. My interpretation of these roles includes their abilities to facilitate and manage learning through their personalities, have an understanding of their student's needs while also being a genuine messenger. As a manager, it is the teacher's responsibility to control the environment and organization of the classroom, the students' behavior, and the class syllabus. As a messenger, it is the teacher's responsibility to deliver the content on the syllabus to the students to improve their reading and writing abilities. We can, therefore, summarize the main role of a teacher teaching in an environment where both student and teacher are using... [Read more]
The Global Status of English in Daily Life - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
The steadfast force of globalization challenges the structures of local groups, nation-states, and societies. The cultural and economic connections between contrasting social groups require a mutually understood language for communication; whether through translators or an individual's knowledge. In most cases, such as the United Nations, other political entities, and corporations, a common language is determined to facilitate communication. Sumerian, Greek, and French were languages deemed as the Lingua Francas in the past. As a result, political and economic connections began to flourish across regions.

How do you bring language to life in the classroom? - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
When teaching in the classroom, it is very important to branch away from the traditional method of teaching, known as the "chalk and talk" method. This typically involves the teacher dictating the lesson, with students sat listening and writing down the words of the teacher. Not every student is programmed to be able to sit, listen intently to every word you say, write down everything important and absorb the information sufficiently to be able to go on and use the language in a productive way.Table of Contents
