Wed, 29 Apr 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas How Effective Classroom Management Establishes the Foundations for Successful Learning ESL teachers implement a variety of strategies to help students learn English as a second language.

This is especially apparent with younger learners who may not have an intrinsic motivation for studying English.

Mon, 15 Jun 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Why it was a Great Idea for Me to Obtain a TEFL Certificate The best things I have learned as a teacher and taking the 470H TESOL Professional Package are patience, persistence, and management of handling students.

Wed, 15 Jul 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Teachers and Their Role in the ESL Classroom "Teacher", this word is linked with everyone's life in a very sensitive and special way. Have you ever observed a child who has just started his/her school life? If you have, you will see that the child follows his/her teacher blindly. The very common reply a parent gets when they try to teach their child some new math technique or holding the pencil etc. is "No, my teacher showed me this way." At home, they often start speaking the way (I would not say imitate) their teacher speaks with them. They admire them so much that they never stop talking about them after returning home. And a common role-play game we all play during our childhood is being a teacher. So, it's quite understood...  [Read more]

Fri, 22 May 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Top Tips for EFL Teaching in a Kindergarten Setting I would like to start by saying that some jobs look simple and many people would deem they are easy at first sight.

Some people would say it is an easy peasy job; just stand right there giving instructions on the front of a couple of students. It is entirely the opposite, it is a tiring job, but the tire here is more related to one's psychology and inner side. However, it is relative for teachers depending on many standards like the age of the students, culture, or nationality. Table of Contents Children's abilities...  [Read more]
