English Teaching Class

How to go from teaching English online to teaching in-class?

Lesson Planning Lesson planning is an important part of being a teacher. While experienced teachers may appear to not require a plan it is only because they have probably taught a lesson so many times that the majority of their plan is in their head. They will still have a good idea of how they want and expect the lesson to proceed. Inexperienced teachers will need the structure a good lesson plan provides.

It also helps a teacher keep on track during the lesson but should not be so restrictive that it prevents flexibility in class. A lesson plan also serves as a record of what you have taught before enabling you to easily see what to review at...  [Read more]

Within these countries, students often learn English for academic reasons, international travel, or personal interest, and their exposure to English might be limited mostly to classroom settings.

An example of EFL would be an American teaching English to Italians in Rome. What’s the difference between EFL and ESL?
