Register now & get certified to teach english abroad! Ordinal Numbers for Dates Ordinal numbers are used to show the order of sequence. One of the most common usages of ordinal numbers in both written and spoken English is for dates.   For dates in spoken English, we always use ordinal numbers, i.e. Fourth of July, not Four of July. Normally a -TH appears at the end of the number. e.g. seven … seventh. However, in written English you may write a normal (cardinal) number without the -TH or -ST etc. after it. Even if it is not written, the ordinal number is still said in spoken English. In the United States it is NOT common to put the -th after the number in written English. Order of Days and Months when saying the date ...  [Read more]

Thu, 14 May 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas How to Motivate Students in the EFL Classroom Brown (2001, p. 72) claims that "One of the more complicated problems of second language learning and teaching has been to define and apply the construct of motivation in the classroom". Motivation is a significant determinant of success in learning a second or foreign language. "It can be defined as a driving force that pushes someone to do something" (Astuti, 2013, p. 14). Without motivation, it seems to be impossible to achieve success in foreign language learning. "Motivation could be considered as the emotion that a person could have towards learning a foreign language, and it is determined by his/her predisposition and personality characteristics." (Karahan, 2007, p. 2). Table of...  [Read more]

Tue, 07 Apr 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Why Would Someone Want to Complete a TEFL Course? There are many reasons why a person might be interested in becoming TEFL certified. Initially, I only really had one reason, is that it'd be an interesting way to start my career as a teacher and would determine if this was something I wanted to do with a big portion of my life.

I've learned a decent amount about how education is handled in several countries outside of America and while no system is perfect, there are things we could be doing better. By finding a TEFL job in another country I'd be able to gain experience as a teacher as well as...  [Read more]
