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]

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.

Is a free TEFL certificate legit? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ TEFL FAQs
We can start with two sayings:
1) These is no such thing as a free lunch
And
2) You get what you pay for
With these two things in mind let us explore what free TEFL certificates are available and the problems that may be associated with them.
Marketing tool: The course is free but you pay for certification
Hours: Most free courses don't give enough hours
Accreditation: Most free courses do not give a recognized qualification
You get what you pay for: This adage has lasted for a few hundred years at least
This is becoming more common with online courses in all subjects across the curriculum.

Many English teachers reflect on that so, in reality, they try to conduct English lessons not only inside the class but also outside the class. They think that conducting English lessons outside is also needed and important. Therefore, English teachers use some outdoor activities to help when teaching English. By doing so, English teachers believe that they can help their students to increase motivation. They also believe that outdoor activities can give students fun and joy.

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.

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.
