How to Teach English Knowledge Instead of Teaching Skills - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
TEFL Information Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas
What comes to mind when one thinks of an English classroom? Is it organized rows of desks filled with students writing vocabulary and grammar into their notebooks while the teacher talks in the front? This is the classic image of a classroom. A student goes to school to learn what they don't already know. When teaching English, it can be easy to fall into the trap of rote memorization and reliance on grammar and vocabulary. However, is this method effective? Does this way of learning motivate students to become lifelong learners of a foreign language? It is less useful to teach students many things than to teach them the skills needed to learn the things they don't know. This essay will assess the current view of... [Read more]
Words to Use Instead of "Very" - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
Register now & get certified to teach english abroad!
In English, "very" is used extensively as an adverb to emphasize that something is of a high degree or intensity. However, there are many single words that can be used to say the same thing more effectively.
When speaking or writing English you can make better use of the language and impress the listener/reader by using individual descriptive words rather than using “very” to show a high degree or intensity.
For example:
Instead of saying “My friend and I took a ride on the roller coaster and we were very afraid”
Say “My friend and I took a ride on the roller coaster and we were terrified”
Instead of saying “I was very nervous about taking my English exam”

Mark Crocker
TEFL Information Alumni Experiences
When I looked at the choices of where and how to take a TEFL course, there were two factors that played into my decision-making process. These factors were time and money. I needed to find the quickest, most convenient way to take a TEFL course, and at the same time stay within my budget. And for these reasons, taking the online option was clearly the best way to go for me.Table of Contents

How Bad Behavior in the Classroom Can Be Addressed in Positive Ways Instead of Strict Punishment - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
The realm of teaching is a rewarding one but can often come with challenges, particularly when teaching English as a second language to non-native English speakers. A difficulty that teachers can face especially when teaching younger students is bad behavior in the classroom, and whether strictly punishing students for bad behavior is appropriate or even truly effective. Teachers can address bad behavior in the classroom in positive ways, hopefully making truly meaningful changes in the classroom itself and students individually.Table of Contents

Flashcard Activities: ✅ Top 5 Ideas to Replace Incessant Drilling - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
TEFL Information Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas
For nearly a year, I have taught four to six-year-olds residing in the outskirts of Beijing. My students do not sit at desks. They instead sit side-by-side on a line of chairs, all of which face an interactive whiteboard complete with pre-designed flipcharts. As my students are still learning essential words for everyday English use, drills and flashcards are crucial within our lessons. However, drilling can quickly lose a young learner's interest. To remedy the monotony, I have used the following five activities: One-Step, Monster, Bomb; Hopscotch; Fly Swat Race; Tic-Tac-Toe; and Rock, Paper, Scissors Tournament. Each game proved to be an effective way to have young learners drill while keeping them engaged in the... [Read more]
