Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
In a globalized and fast-growing world, the English language has grown to be considerably important. But let's analyze a bit further into the topic.

When I was young, I dreamt about thousands of different jobs, but being an online English teacher was never one of them. However, I've had the opportunity to work with Chinese students ranging from 5 to 13 years old and it has been one of the best experiences of my life so far. How am I going to communicate with them? Am I ready to be a teacher? How will I transmit what I want to teach? These are some of the questions that went through my mind before accepting the job, but when I finally decided to take it and started to be an ESL teacher I knew I was doing what I love the most, transmitting knowledge.Table of Contents

My Experience Taking a TEFL Course with ITTT - TEFL Blog
Jon ITTT
Alumni Experiences
The course was informative and comprehensive. Since I had a good grasp of the language, initially I thought I would go to the classroom and teach. But after deep pondering, questions crept up in my mind: What if I run out of ideas in the middle of the class? What if my students are not motivated? What if the lessons I provide are not effective? There is so much more to teaching. The list of my apprehensions went on, and that was when I decided to enroll in a course. After doing some research, I found ITTT with its internationally recognized TEFL/TESOL program.Table of Contents

Teaching Ideas
Teaching English as a foreign language is a professional activity that requires many qualities and skills. Without any prior form of study in the field, it could be very difficult for the teacher to pass on knowledge to their students and possibly at times even be at risk of being counterproductive in a classroom. TEFL course prepares future teachers or teachers needing extra training to be better equipped in their role. Moreover, TEFL certification is recognized worldwide and as such gives a better chance to get a job as a teacher abroad. Especially as it is becoming a requirement for international teaching.Table of Contents

The Importance of Taking a TEFL Course - TEFL Blog

Alumni Experiences
The TEFL course is a useful learning experience that I would recommend any new teacher that is planning on teaching English. The course provides a lot of insight to a new teacher in many different forms. It covers everything from teaching strategies to verb tenses. Each lesson has strategies and potential problems a teacher will face in the classroom. This I why I believe that any new English teacher should complete a TEFL course not only because it refreshes them on grammar but also provides tools and tips for many different situations that can arise in a classroom with non-native English speakers.Table of Contents

Why I Found Taking a TEFL Course Beneficial - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
Completing a TEFL course is useful in many ways. Firstly, it is useful to complete a TEFL course because of the knowledge it provides. Before starting this course I had an English background, but I wasn't aware of all the grammatical points I was missing out on. This course has made me think and taught me some very new ideas that I had not previously known before. Aside from grammar, I had picked up some very useful communication skills and problem-solving skills. When in a classroom I learned how to keep people engaged and active. A very useful technique is the ESA technique. That stands for engaging, study, activate. In this technique, you can use the straight-arrow method, boomerang method or the patchwork method depending on the situation of your... [Read more]

When I first signed up to take the TEFL I thought it was going to be about very common words and phrases we use in the English language every day but it taught me so much more than I ever thought. I learned so much about what's the best way to deal with misbehaving students, how to teach past tenses, and so much more. When I first thought about getting my TEFL and to hopefully one day be in a classroom of my own teaching English to students, I never thought about everything that comes with the title of being a teacher.Table of Contents
