Common Problems for English Learners in Morocco
Morocco's official languages are classical Arabic, and Berber ( indigenous language in North Africa) Classical Arabic, and second unofficial language in Morocco is the French language taught in General educational curriculum from primary school, and Spanish taught in the north as a second unofficial language, Thus learning a third or even fourth language for a Moroccan learner is not a big challenge, however, there are some difficulties to learn a language efficiently and accurately.

The Cultural Problem for Learners in an EFL Classroom in Morocco
The Moroccan ministry of education based its formation of the curricula on the view that sees culture and language as interwoven parts that cannot be separated from each other. This view is supported by Brown (1994:165) 'A language is a part of a culture and a culture is a part of a language; the two are intricately interwoven so that one cannot separate the two without losing the significance of either language or culture.

How can English Influence a Student's Future Career?
As we all know English has become a global language that is fast rising and also language shapes our thinking, reasoning and the way we behave in society, this has been proven by scholars in America and other parts of the world. The way a French thing or dresses is different from an English person, as a result, statistics show that the English world or society is far better. English certificates are world-recognized qualifications, as a result, a student that studies in an English system is of better chances to secure a good job anywhere in the world than a qualification from other parts of the world.

A Key to The World
Anyone and everyone should complete a TEFL course because it turns the English language into a key that opens up the rest of the world. Generally speaking, language can be a barrier between different peoples and countries. However, if you travel with a special intent to share your language, then those barriers have the potential to turn into bridges to new friends and new places that could be called home. Completing a TEFL course provides the necessary training for English to be shared around the world.

How to Implement Games in a Young Learner Classroom
Children are creative. Bringing games into an English language classroom to incite young learners' attention and creativity is vital to keeping them motivated and entertained. Several games promote English grammar, memorization, and sentence building. These games can be reproductions of current popular games or manufactured by a teacher. Whichever method is chosen by the teacher there are still simple rules to follow. The game must be explained clearly and concisely, so the students have a full understanding of the game. An example round with the students is an effective way to ensure complete understanding. They can be a useful warmer activity to get students engaged in the lesson... [Read more]

Teaching Productive Skills in the Classroom: How Is It Achieved?
In the process of building a strong foundation for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), there are many items to consider. Some of these include parts of speech, theories and methodologies, tenses, lesson planning, and testing. One of the most important parts of this process is teaching productive skills, including speaking and writing, to students of all age groups. While the lesson planning for speaking and writing will be different, they are both used for the primary purpose of communication. When people are communicating with each other, they want to be able to say something through proper communication. They also want to listen and be able to... [Read more]

The Benefits and Challenges of Lesson Planning
When teaching English as a foreign language, teachers need to create lesson plans. Lesson plans not only to help the teacher succeed in teaching her students but also helps the students learn the language more effectively. With lesson planning, teachers can set goals for students, stay organized when teaching, and learn how to be flexible when it comes to spending more time on a topic than previously predicted.
