Fri, 15 Mar 2019 Linda Dunsmore Alumni Experiences What You Need To Know When Teaching Beginner Students From the 60-year-old successful businessman who has never studied English to the third grader who is learning it for the first time in a school setting, each student has their own motivation and background. Their unique experiences will dictate what they bring to the table and be a factor in their success or difficulty in learning English. Understanding what brought the learners to the classroom, will help a teacher tailor the lessons to be most beneficial to her students. This includes understanding their culture to a certain extent, specifically as it relates to faux pas or misunderstandings that could arise in the classroom setting.

Wed, 06 May 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas What are the Benefits of Teaching English One-to-One? Teaching English one to one can have many benefits for the students as well as the teacher. It is a way to create excitement and provide a motivation to learn that is more personalized to the learner. This individualized way of teaching gives the teacher the ability to discover where their student's abilities and their interests lay. By being able to know the students on a deeper level, they can help shape their lessons directly to meet the student's needs. These direct lessons, in turn, can aid in the student's ability to improve their English. Teaching one to one can also benefit the teacher, as they will only need to plan for the individual student, not for thirty students, and...  [Read more]

Fri, 17 Jul 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas How to Minimize Teacher Talk Time When teaching a class of students, teachers may discover that when they are trying to explain or introduce a new concept or segment of work, they are talking for more time than their students are. This can consequently reduce the effectiveness of the lesson and in turn result in a poor experience for the learners, as well as not equipping them properly to communicate in English outside of the classroom. Table of Contents An example of this would be teaching the students new vocabulary in a conversation. This drill and simplification method of teaching can be adapted to listening, reading, and writing lessons. Do you want to teach English abroad? Take a TEFL course!

Wed, 19 Jun 2019 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas The Importance of Managing Equipment and Teaching Aids Imagine a student walks into English class for the first time and sees the teacher [a woman - solely for example's sake] fumbling for a cord and searching for an outlet because her lesson was based off a slideshow on her laptop, which ran out of battery power and she wasn't prepared to have to plug it in.

Wed, 08 Jul 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas The Consequences of Misbehavior: Punishment or Care? My personal opinion is that teachers should not "punish" students for bad behavior. That said, I also believe that if words or actions transpire in the classroom that is not allowed, or are inappropriate or disruptive, the teacher should address the situation to reduce the risk or likelihood of it happening again going forward - however, in a positive, constructive, solution-based way.

Tue, 30 Jun 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas What are The Ways to Manage and Adapt Teaching and Learning for Mixed-Ability Classes? Teachers of ESL will often find themselves in charge of a class with students at different levels of proficiency. When this happens, the teacher needs to know ways to adapt and manage the class and activities in a way that benefits all the students.

So how can a teacher make sure all the students get what they need from the class? Table of Contents Adapting materials according to the level Grouping Other strategies Do...  [Read more]
