Tue, 07 Apr 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas How to Improve Teaching One-to-One In the last couple of years, I have been teaching English in Italy by using the one-to-one methodology.

Thu, 06 Aug 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Approaches to Teaching English Vocabulary to ESL Students Learning new vocabulary is considered as an integral part of learning a new language. Even children who learn their mother tongues learn isolated phrases and words before making complex sentences.

However, if they learn more words, phrases, and expressions, they can express almost anything (Thornberry, 2002; Watkin, 2005). Table of Contents...  [Read more]

Kids usually don't hesitate to express their feelings at any time, which can be a good and a bad thing, as you never know how they are going to act and how they will behave in the class.
