Sarah Jennings Teaching Ideas Anyone who has done group work knows that it can have its fair share of disadvantages. Let's take a look at why.Table of Contents Working in a team as a student can consume a significant amount of time. Scheduling meetings outside of class hours and coordinating with everyone's availability adds an extra layer of complexity. This can be especially challenging for sixth-form students who are already overscheduled. Researchers have debated whether the time-intensive nature of group work undermines its effectiveness. Consequently, there is a growing body of research exploring situations where group work may not be appropriate in the classroom. Some studies suggest that for simpler tasks, students may achieve better results when working individually. Teaching...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences First of all, there's a great difference between teaching one-to-one and groups. Some teachers prefer teaching one-to-one as it gives teachers a better opportunity to focus on one student rather than giving attention to many students. Also, there are differences regarding the classroom of each type. For example in teaching groups, classrooms are more formal. That's why there would be more discipline in classrooms of groups. On the other hand, in teaching one-to-one, the classroom can be anywhere either in the student's home if lessons are private or even in the teacher's home.Table of Contents Lesson planning Student-centered approach Establishing rapport Choice of activities Learn group and one-to-one teaching techniques on your TEFL course Related...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas There are many potential problems when teaching is considered. With the teaching of a foreign language, especially in a culturally reserved country such as Turkey, the possible issues become bigger or more. I do not believe it would be very useful or beneficial neither for the teacher nor the students to put people with big age differences in the same class, trying to learn the same subject from the same teacher. There are many disadvantages as opposed to weak advantages in doing so.Table of Contents Level of Motivation Learning Goals Interaction Do you want to teach English abroad? Take a TEFL course today!

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences I have taught one-to-one through tutoring English students on several levels, from five-year-old young learners to teenagers and adults in the past.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Earning a TEFL certificate has the potential to lead a new teacher down a number of paths where the only uniform outcome is the title "English Teacher". A new teacher could find themselves in a number of situations varying in the nationality and age of the student, as well as level or desired specialization over the course of their career. It is of great importance, therefore, for teachers to be comfortable and confident with this open-ended outcome in order to better plan and prepare for helping their future students, whoever or wherever they may be. An area I find particularly interesting based on my current experience is the dynamic between one-to-one and group teaching.

Jon ITTT TEFL Information By Kyle CullinanTable of Contents Although group lessons are enjoyable, one-to-one lessons are satisfying for teachers and students alike, offering unique advantages in language education. In the realm of language education, the choice between one-to-one and group teaching settings carries significant implications for both educators and learners. Group classes, while fostering social interaction and diverse perspectives, often present challenges due to varying language levels among students.

After the class ended, Yordanka, one of the students, approached me for private help with her English conversation skills.

These concerns address seven issues: student needs, student talk versus teacher talk time, trust between teacher and student, scheduling, lesson duration, the timing of lesson elements, and supplies.Table of Contents Listen...  [Read more]

Mark Crocker Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas Humans are social animals. Throughout history, we've always evolved in communities and societies, where individuals relate with others by affiliating themselves to different groups. They are then integrated into a complex social network, whose members often have a strong impact on each other.
