Is It Normal To Praise Students? - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
We all love to be told when we have done something great, completed an assign tasked or even given a simple compliment such as a good job or well done. Within any teacher-student relationship, praise is of course quite normal and very important as it will not only help to motivate and encourage the student to try harder but also will help them to relax and get more out of the lesson given.

Classroom Management in an EFL Setting: Transcending Language to Enhance Learning - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
Educators have debated on the topic of classroom management since the first class began. In the same way curricula and teaching cultures vary, as do the intricacies of classroom management. A topic that is, in my opinion, not taught enough in the realm of TEFL, is finding ways to manage a full classroom of young students for an entire day. As the trend for "kindergarten" prep courses rises in China, the void for managing 20+ five-year-olds has been dark and silent. Because many principals in these prep centers refuse to allow Mandarin in the classroom and the fact that these students do not initially understand basic commands in English, this creates a sense of chaos that hampers the learning process.

5 Simple Tips to Improve Your Classroom Management Skills - TEFL Blog
Linda Dunsmore
Alumni Experiences
I made a good number of blunders my first year teaching that still make me cringe. I learned though. And it's fair to say, when it comes to managing a classroom, most of what we learn as new teachers is trial by fire. It's also smart to heed the advice of those who have walked - and stumbled - before you. If you are struggling with discipline, here are five tips that you can start using right away:
1. Use a normal, natural voice
2. Speak only when students are quiet and ready
3. Use hand signals and other non-verbal communication
4. Address behavior issues quickly and wisely
5. Always have a well-designed, engaging lesson

Praise is Imperative for Young ESL Learners - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
Learning a new language can be nerve-wracking, especially for young learners who experience a great deal of peer pressure and fear of sounding unintelligent in front of their classmates. This fear is something adults learning a new language experience as well. I have personally experienced it as a native English speaker learning Spanish. Therefore, praise from the teacher they view as an expert in the language they're learning is vital to the learning process in many ways.

How to Travel Japan on a Teacher’s Budget - TEFL Blog
Lydia Pincott
Destinations Alumni Experiences
For being a fairly small country, Japan sure packs a punch for the endless amount of things to see, do, and eat! As teachers though, we aren't living that high roller, bullet train life, yet we usually have enough days off for a decent holiday. So how do you get out and see Japan, while still having a few yennies left over for fried chicken at Family Mart?
Use the Seishun 18 Kippu Transport Pass (and region-specific passes)
Make Use of Tourist Information Centers
Stay at hostels with kitchens - but be sure to check the facilities!
Be loyal - to bus service, booking website, etc.
Choose the lowest cost option on Google Maps for getting around.

Motivation: That’s What Classroom and Political Arena Have in Common - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears" - Mark Antony. I have a tall tale to tell you. A story filled with unspeakable horrors that make men dishonor all they have stood for; that pushes the statement "it is better to be feared than loved if you cannot be both"- Machiavelli. To tales of living in a land down under and learning the language of the locals and communing with them in a peaceful manner. Before ending with a tale as old of time, which is empires rise and fall, similar to teaching materials that are created and become outdated. If we are to succeed we must evolve or we will just get caught up in the churn with the changing tides. Let us begin with what truly motivates the world of men.
