Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Being a teacher for the first time, I was very nervous about the type of students I would have in my class and how their behavior would affect the classroom environment and the students around them. Before starting teaching, I was mainly worried about middle and high school students. I was afraid they wouldn't be interested in the games that we would play in class and that they would just be on their phones. However, I was wrong- at least partially. The students don't use their phones during class, due to strict rules and also having a teaching assistant, which left me feeling very relieved. I was worried about having to tell students not to use their phones and ending up having to confiscate them. The class I am currently having the most trouble...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas "You speak too much in the class," "you always finish their sentences," "you answer back to the teens," "the classroom is a mess," "your lessons are boring."

According to the Cambridge dictionary, slang is defined as a "very informal language that is usually spoken rather than written, used especially by particular groups of people" and an idiom is defined as "a group of words in a fixed order that have a particular meaning that is different from the meanings of each word on its own". This essay will suggest possible reasons why slang and idioms are often excluded from formal English lessons, and posit that it is important to teach them to certain groups of ESL students namely, students who have moved to an English-speaking country with little or no prior knowledge of the language and students with high English language ability.
