Thu, 26 Mar 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas The Challenging Way of a Teacher to Create Confident Students Confidence is a state of being certain either that a hypothesis or prediction is correct or that a chosen course of action is the best or most effective.

Tue, 18 Dec 2018 Laura Payne Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas Differences in Teaching Monolingual and Multilingual EFL Groups I am currently working as an Assistant Language Teacher in Japan. Before I began this job I assumed that because Japan has a largely homogeneous population, all of my classes would be monolingual. However, I was wrong in this assumption.

These students largely do not use Japanese as their mother tongue and have to learn both English and Japanese as a second language. This diverse student population, in addition to my work experiences and studies, has taught me a lot about working with both monolingual and multilingual classes.
