Managing a Class as a Foreign EFL Teacher - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
When it comes to managing a class, a teacher must be prepared to face many different challenges. This can be especially true for a teacher in classrooms abroad. In addition to teaching a subject, a foreign teacher may also have to worry about the cultural or social norms of a country they may be unaccustomed to, and other problems might arise from language barriers. An EFL teacher can better manage a classroom if they prepare for these in advance, and utilize the appropriate behaviors and routines while running the classroom.

Key Responsibilities of a Teacher in a TEFL Classroom - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
The roles of an English teacher in a TEFL classroom are varied and depend largely on the stage of the lesson and the situations that may arise, both planned and unplanned. Many people see the teacher as the main source of information and an example of the English language. This, in a sense, is the primary role of a teacher; however, in order to fulfill the ultimate goal a teacher has, they must create a productive atmosphere in the class and a good, working relationship with their students.

What Makes You a Good Teacher? - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
The role of a teacher is to help students acquire knowledge so that eventually, they can be competent in understanding and communicating in English. A good teacher is a successful teacher. The success or failure of a teacher lies not only on his/her teaching styles, but more importantly, the learning of the students. To a certain extent, the personality of the teacher may affect the learning of his/her students, but what is more indispensable is the relationship between the teacher and the students. A non-threatening relationship with the students can help to build the students' interests in learning, and create an atmosphere that is conducive and light-hearted for learning. A good teacher is also a responsible teacher who takes time in planning and... [Read more]
The Many Roles of a Teacher - TEFL Blog

Alumni Experiences
At the cafeteria during lunchtime, a student of mine approached and asked me, "Why did you become a teacher?" Dumbfounded by this brazen question, I did not know what to say. I could have chosen motherhood statements like "I want to make a difference in the world," "to have a positive impact on my student's lives, "or that "I love children." I ended up saying to him, "Well, I am good at teaching." However, the truth of the matter is, I needed a job and there was an opportunity so I took it. You can say it was fate that called me to be a teacher. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine myself being a Grade 3 homeroom teacher!

Amazing Perks of Being a Volunteer Teacher - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
Being a teacher is not like any other jobs. For example, if you are an engineer and you don't like your job, you can still manage to go to work but to be a teacher, you have to love what you do. It is just like being a mother of 20-30 children. You have to take care of them one by one. You have to be their psychologist, mentor, and idol at the same time. It's not something that you can do just for the money; at least if you're good at your job. That is why being a volunteer in teaching is an excellent way of making this planet better. There are a few reasons to be a volunteer teacher and this essay will mention some of them.

When the teacher has a lack or weakness in self-confidence, their students or their coworkers will see that during the explanation, when she/he talks in front of the students and answering some questions in the class.
