How to Motivate High School Students in the ESL Classroom
Motivation in the classroom is the biggest reason why I teach students in a high school setting. I am a public-school teacher and I get English as a Second Language students all the time in my classroom. I am a 10th-grade teacher but my students' ages range from 14 years old to 19 years old. The number one factor that I teach is for motivation. My students are already matured and have seen things they probably should not have at their ages.

How much can I save while teaching English abroad?
Although many people choose to teach English abroad for the adventure, to experience a new culture, or to simply leave behind the daily 9 to 5 grind, the financial side of making the move is hard to ignore. While most teachers will have no trouble earning enough to afford a comfortable day to day lifestyle, many teachers actually need to find a job that allows them to save some of their income to pay off student loans or to fund future travel etc.

7 Steps to Paying Off Your Student Loans While Teaching English Abroad
Have you just graduated or are about to graduate college and face a massive amount of student loans? You are not on your own. In the United States alone, the national student debt totals over $1.4 trillion this year. This number means that the average graduate in the US owes $17,126 and this number is rising year after year. When you are this much in debt, you can’t possibly think about moving abroad - or can you?
In fact, thousands of graduates every year head abroad to teach English in order to pay off their student debt - and most of them are debt-free much faster than if they stayed at home. Here are 7 steps to paying off your student loans while teaching... [Read more]

How much can I earn teaching English in Japan?
Foreign teachers have been living and working in large numbers across Japan for decades. However, a significantly increased cost of living in recent years has led to a reduction in the amount that teachers are typically able to save from their salary every month. Having said that, there are still plenty of great opportunities across the country that offer attractive salaries and other benefits, particularly in cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, and Yokohama. Although it is no longer the top destination for saving large amounts of money, Japan still has plenty to offer both new and experienced teachers.

Motivation as a Part of The Classroom Management Routine
One of the most important intrinsic values in classroom management that need to be addressed with utmost seriousness is the motivation level of students in the class. A teacher may follow all steps required to effectively and efficiently conduct a lesson but if the students present are not well motivated to learn the lesson, the teachings would not reach them and the true purpose of teaching remains unachieved.

Entry level
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Level 4
Level 5
Level 6
Level 7
Level 8
From the above, we can see that a degree in TEFL/TESOL is at level 6 and is therefore a very high level of study in the English teaching world. A few examples of such Level 6 courses are shown below:
