How can I encourage my students to use English outside of the classroom and in real-life situations? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT TEFL & TESOL
Using English outside the classroom is crucial for language acquisition as it provides students with opportunities to practice and improve their skills in real-life situations. Encouraging students to use English in authentic contexts helps them develop fluency, confidence, and cultural awareness. Real-life interactions also expose learners to different accents, dialects, and communication styles, enhancing their overall language proficiency. By engaging with English beyond the classroom, students can apply what they have learned in meaningful ways, making their language learning experience more practical and effective.
There are several effective strategies to motivate students to use English outside the classroom. One approach is to create language challenges or tasks that require... [Read more]
What are the best ways to create opportunities for language use outside the TEFL classroom? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT TEFL & TESOL
Language exchange programs are a fantastic way for students to practice their English skills in a real-world setting. These programs typically pair learners with native speakers who are looking to learn the student's native language. This reciprocal arrangement allows for authentic language practice in a relaxed and informal environment. Students can engage in conversations, cultural exchanges, and language activities, which can significantly enhance their language skills. Many language exchange programs are available online and in-person, providing students with a variety of options to choose from.
In today's digital age, there is an abundance of online language learning platforms that offer opportunities for language use outside the classroom. Platforms like Duolingo, Babbel, and Rosetta... [Read more]
What are the best ways to teach pronunciation to non-native English speakers? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT TEFL & TESOL
Teaching pronunciation to non-native English speakers is crucial for effective communication. Clear pronunciation helps students be understood by others and boosts their confidence in speaking English. It also aids in listening comprehension, as students can better recognize words they have learned when they are pronounced accurately. Moreover, pronunciation is a key component of language fluency, making it essential for overall language proficiency.
There are various strategies that TEFL teachers can use to help students improve their pronunciation. One effective approach is the use of minimal pairs, which are pairs of words that differ by only one sound (e.g., ship/sheep). By contrasting similar sounds, students can learn to distinguish between them and improve their pronunciation.... [Read more]

Going Out of the Classroom: What Games and Activities Can Be Used? - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
Outdoor games and activities can be motivating and fun for English language learners. According to my research, there are many different activities that teachers can use to practice and develop students' English language skills. Outdoor learning has many benefits: Students can be highly motivated and energized by being outside. When a class has become boring or the students disinterested, going outside can help students return to the classroom refreshed and more focused than before. Furthermore, being in the new surroundings opens up unique, memorable ways to teach English in the great outdoors.Table of Contents

'Teacher, Can we please have a class outdoors?' this question was asked by a lot of my students, and 'No' was my typical answer. Why do students want to have an outdoor session? Is it really useful? What outdoor activities could be done to help when teaching English? These questions ran through my mind every time one of my students asked me to have a class outdoors.

Going Outside: Stimulating Learning Through Outdoor Lessons and Activities - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
One of the key elements to being an effective teacher is variety. One cannot teach by using the same lesson structure, the same activities, the same worksheets, the same plan every single time. No matter how effective it may be, students will still tire from the repetition, and their engagement will wane. And that is exactly why teachers have a toolbox from which to draw a wide variety of skills, activities, plans, and ideas to keep the classroom fresh and engaging. Changing scenery, environments, and going outside is all part of this toolbox, and can be used to an effective extent to keep lessons feeling stimulating and varied. And by doing so, the teacher is opening up lessons to a fun and exciting range of possibilities for activities that would not... [Read more]

Why Teachers Need to Complete a TEFL Certification Course Before Heading Overseas - TEFL Blog
Mark Crocker
TEFL Information Alumni Experiences
English has quickly become the leading language of the world. Whether we like it or not, most countries have chosen English as the language of business and international interaction, and because of this, many are pushing their people to learn English as a second language. To help guide this initiative, many businesses, schools, and private households are hiring native English-speakers to teach English to those wishing to learn. While learning directly from a native speaker is the ideal way to learn a new language, unfortunately, it is common for many English speakers to go abroad and hope to be able to teach effectively with no prior teacher training.Table of Contents

For those of us who have a desire to teach English as a foreign language in Korea but decide to forego a formal TEFL certificate, language academies (or, "hagwons") are one of our most prominent and accessible options. In the year 2018, fresh out of my undergraduate program, I joined the ranks of many enthusiastic (albeit, mostly untrained) teachers bound for privately-run English academies. The opportunity to travel, visa sponsorships, housing benefits, and the job, itself, make hagwons an attractive option to aspiring teachers with no formal training or little practical teaching experience.Table of Contents
