Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Even though some people might disagree with the idea of praising students in the classroom, I hold a strong belief that it is of paramount importance.

For this reason, I will exemplify the advantages and challenges in praising that I have come across in my career as an English Teacher. My teaching...  [Read more]
