Is a 120-hour TEFL enough?
When prospective English teachers consider a TEFL certification, a common query is the adequacy of a 120-hour TEFL certificate for classroom or online teaching. While the duration might initially seem limited, it is important to note that a 120-hour TEFL certificate is the standard benchmark set by the majority of ESL employers worldwide. Alongside the core training, some institutions might emphasize classroom experience. Recognizing this need, several TEFL programs offer courses inclusive of classroom-based hours, catering to those job requirements and ensuring teachers are both qualified and experienced.

What does a TEFL course focus on?
A TEFL course provides comprehensive training on teaching English as a foreign language. The curriculum delves into essential aspects like imparting language skills, in-depth grammar understanding, effective lesson planning, and mastering classroom management techniques.

Reading as a Part of Language Acceptability
The study of language acquisition has long been a topic of interest to both psychologists and linguists alike. The manner wherein we acquire language is broken into two categories, depending on the developmental stage of the student being thought. First language acquisition refers to how children learn their native language. Second language acquisition refers to the learning of another language differing from their native language. This essay is concerned with the effect reading has on language acquisition. Reading is a core area in the acquisition of language. However, the statement is interchangeable as the language acquired by a student greatly predicts their reading acquisition. This... [Read more]

Team-teaching: The Good and The Ugly
A preferred method of teaching abroad is the team-teaching approach. This is where two teachers, dubbed T1 (often the "main" teacher") and T2 (often the "assistant"), work together to develop a syllabus, prepare materials and lessons, teach students, then evaluate the results and make changes whenever deemed necessary. As the base, unless T2 has strong language skills in the local language, T1 will be expected to explain core grammar. Both are responsible for their own contributions to the class in order to create a cohesive classroom for effective English learning.

Why Teaching Productive Skills is Important
Teaching is the passing on of knowledge and ideas to a particular person or group, especially about politics, religion, science or society. The ability to use a language is called language skill. When we learn a language we usually learn four for skills to effectively communicate in that language. These usually are, listening being the first, speaking the language, reading and finally writing skills. Productive skills can be defined as the production of good or useful things in large quantities or to do something well or type of workability that you learn through training and continuous practice.
