How to Build a Good Relationship With Your ESL Students - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
Teaching English in a foreign country with students who speak very little of the language is a challenge. It is not a walk in the park as most people would like to think. There are customs and cultures which teachers must be aware of and must respect in order not to offend locals. There are certain things which teachers do in the United States, which cannot be done in other countries, let's say Thailand, for example. It is of utmost importance for teachers to get acquainted with the dos and don'ts of the country where they are going.

Be interested in your students
