Mon, 27 Jul 2020 Elizaveta Pachina TEFL Information Should a TEFL Certification be Mandatory for Teachers? The importance of a course such as a TEFL is easy to overlook when you consider the multitude of teaching jobs that are available around the globe that require no teacher training whatsoever.

For those looking to travel whilst earning some money, these countries can provide a good balance of income and culture, as well as easy access to other countries in the area. However, whilst this is beneficial to the 'tourist teacher', it can often lead to substandard teaching methods. For an example of this, I need not look any further than myself.

Thu, 28 May 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Self-Reflection: From Failure to Great Teacher The year was 1992, I was going to my first English class. I was so excited to begin. I'd always wanted to learn that language. The movies, music and everything I loved the most was in English. I was ten years old, my whole class was the same age, but the only thing I didn't know was they were much ahead of me. The course placed me in a classroom with kids that were already speaking English since they were six years old. They spoke all the time and I couldn't understand anything. I felt so disappointed and ashamed, I couldn't even comprehend the difference between him and her. Even my teacher made fun of me.

Tue, 25 Aug 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Is Teaching an Innate Gift or an Acquired Skill? "Everyone who remembers his education remembers teachers, not methods, and or techniques. The teacher is the heart of the educational system" – Sidney Hook. Teaching is as ancient as time and its ways of imparting knowledge have evolved throughout the centuries.

Likewise, it stopped being a one-way relationship where teachers had a dominant position and students were just mere recipients of data. Looking back at my school days, I compare teaching now and then. And even though roles and methods have made a 180 degrees turn, it has made me wonder why I can't remember my...  [Read more]
