Classroom Management for Teaching English as a Foreign Language - Teacher Talk Time   When considering Teacher Talk Time, we can perhaps look at the major advantage and disadvantage of the teacher actually talking. The major advantage is that you as the teacher are usually the only real model for the language, the source of correct English. So at some stages, your talking time is very important to the students.

There are major disadvantages to overusing Teacher Talk Time, however, and perhaps the major one is that whenever the teacher is talking, the students are listening and if the students are listening, then they themselves cannot be talking. So, Teacher Talk Time reduces the opportunity...  [Read more]

Will TEFL certification help you teach English? In the same way that we would expect our surgeon, dentist or airline pilot to have undertaken some training, our students of English might also expect their teachers to be trained and competent. What does it mean that our English teacher is competent? Possibly there are two major components to the answer: 1. The teacher has adequate subject knowledge. 2. The teacher has some classroom delivery skills. So how can taking a TEFL certification provide this knowledge? First you need to find a course that offers these components. While many native English speakers have learned the rules of English grammar sub-consciously as part of their language development, this does not give them the necessary subject knowledge required to teach English. So...  [Read more]

Wed, 05 Aug 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas The Roots of Motivation to Learn a Second Language Motivation has long been a major concern for most English teachers. There is no doubt that it is a potent force in language acquisition.

Wed, 17 Jun 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Same, but Different: The Differences Between Teaching High-School and University Students In my years of teaching, the experience of teaching high-school and university students can be somewhat similar.

As such, there are teaching strategies that can be used for these disparate age groups, but with some changes in the level of complexity to account for the ages of the students in question.

Fri, 08 Jul 2022 Najwa Sabih Destinations Alumni Experiences Who Your Students will be when Teaching English in Turkey Teaching English in Turkey can be challenging as this language is not very common here. Turkish people are very loyal to their country and language, so they consider it unimportant to learn a new language. Moreover, in their opinion, foreigners must learn Turkish to communicate with them and never the opposite. Thus, if your target population to teach the English language is Turkish, your chance of finding a job is very low. However, it is well known that Turkey, especially Istanbul, Ankara, and Kutahya, are full of foreigners willing to learn the English language in Turkey for many reasons that we will discuss later in this article.
