One of the most important problems encountered while learning a foreign language is undoubtedly pronunciation. Knowing a language fluently may not always be enough. Fluency level may be open to discussion if an accurate pronunciation is not used. Therefore as teachers, we must teach our students how to use the correct pronunciation. However, pronunciation can be a nightmare for some students, especially for young learners.

5 Flashcard Games for Younger Students - TEFL Blog

Teaching Ideas
I have been teaching English to young learners in China for almost a year and I tried to make my lessons with and without flashcards. And I can say for sure, that it's really hard to teach children (3-12 years old) if you don't have prepared flashcards for your classes, but only an interactive whiteboard and some stuff to play games.
There are some following advantages of using flashcards to teach children:
The games I use in my classroom are as follows:
1. Flashcard raise
2. Basketball with flashcards
3. What's missing
4. Hit the FC
5. Find flashcards

Challenges for Myanmar Students in ESL Learning - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
The world is becoming a global village and as English is an official language for many of the countries, it is a need for people to learn English to be able to make communications and networking. While learning English, it is important to get a good teacher using good teaching methods. However, it is not an easy task to teach or learn English in a country in which people mainly use their mother language which is not English. In Myanmar, likewise, there are many obstacles for students to improve their English language skills even though English was taught since their kindergarten.

Suggestions for Building Student Confidence - TEFL Blog
Federico Riva
Teaching Ideas
For many students, self-confidence is a natural personality trait: You either have it or you don't. Confident learners tend to speak more and know how to get their point across. For those students who aren't so confident, learning new material can be overwhelming or might create frustration and feel like a failure. These students are always questioning their abilities and tend to shy away from answering questions.

The Struggles for Japanese Students When Learning English - TEFL Blog

I have been teaching in Japan for over 12 years in three different locations ranging from the southernmost part of Hokkaido to the southern island of Kyushu, where I presently reside. The youngest students I have had were children not even two years of age, whereas my older students were in their seventies. This is a very common situation for those who teach here in Japan; a country where the English boom occurred not too long after they rebuilt their nation following the Second World War.
