The Importance of a Teacher in Early Childhood Education - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
Educating children is one of the most challenging and rewarding roles. Children are usually illustrated as a bath sponge when it comes to absorbing language input. They could learn easily learn a language without much force at a young age. As teachers or educators, we need to be able to nurture them to have a positive mind and become an independent individual in the future. A child's future would largely depend on the education they receive when they are young. Thus, it is a teacher's role to mold children by giving the best education in a positive direction at a young age.

English in Early Childhood: Alumni Teaching Experience - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
For two years I have been teaching Italian children in a nursery, a group of 5,2-3 years old. They are still not able to speak well their mother tongue and have a short vocabulary. They have no experience yet in being taught traditionally, may still use pacifier and diaper, so how can you teach so small children English and is it even worth it? Shouldn't they first learn their native tongue? Many parents think so.

It is a very well known fact that English is a very melodic language, it sounds very soft and children love singing in English. When you keep a certain rhythm, rhyme, and pace, it is very likely to learn faster and better almost any topic.

Child Development Through The Length of Modern Education - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
Child development is a series of changes that occur from conception to the initiation of adulthood. It is a normal sequence of development where the child undergoes physical changes, emotional/ social growth and advancements in the ability to communicate with others using signs and language. A child's development is both external as well as internal i.e. indicating both physical as well as mental growth. During the innate phase of development, the child is predominantly dependent on their parents or guardians to perform and to learn day to day activities. With growth and development, the child becomes increasingly self-reliant. Also, a child's development is strongly affected by genetic factors as well as environmental factors.

The use of the English language as a global language is unprecedented. With modern technologies like the rise of air travel and the speed of the internet, the world is increasingly becoming smaller. At no other time in human history have so many different nations and cultures needed to communicate. With "About a quarter of the world's population is already fluent or competent in English" (Crystal, 2017, page 6), it has come to the forefront as the common known language or lingua franca. Teaching a lingua franca comes it's with its particular challenges and the impacts of your teaching could affect the student's future business or academic opportunities.
