Is Taking a TEFL/TESOL Course Really Worth it? - TEFL Blog
Federico Riva
TEFL Information Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas
TEFL and TESOL - these two terms are often used interchangeably; however, some areas of the world prefer to use one or the other. For example, the TEFL term is most commonly used within the UK, and the TESOL term is usually preferred in the USA. Although some countries may prefer one acronym over the other, a TEFL certification and a TESOL certification are practically the same thing, and the training programs for both are usually identical.

The Importance of Evaluation and Testing in an Educational System - TEFL Blog
Mark Crocker
Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas
Although evaluation and testing are considered to be a 'necessary evil' by some teachers and students, it is quite absurd to call them so. Evaluation and testing should never be seen as 'evil', although they are certainly 'necessary' within a properly functioning educational system. It can be argued that no serious study is possible without evaluation and testing as they are surely the best way of judging the capabilities and progress of a student, and a serious motivation for reaching new goals.

Achieving Positive Classroom Discipline ITTT - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
The word "discipline" generally carries a negative connotation. When people think of "discipline," they imagine an old-fashioned schoolhouse and a teacher smacking students with a ruler. This is not the sort of discipline anyone would encourage in today's school environment. Children often think of discipline as a teacher yelling, and they imagine how nice it would be to be able to do whatever they like.
