Teachers Never Stop Learning - A TEFL Alumna's Thoughts on Being a Teacher - TEFL Blog
Linda Dunsmore
Alumni Experiences
My teaching experience began in a whirlwind. I graduated from college a semester ahead of my class, married, lived with my husband in my sister's basement for two months, and moved to South Korea. We had no idea what to expect. Sure, we'd read the blogs, talked to the director of our school, and even talked with people we know who had lived and taught in Korea. It still didn't fully prepare us for what to expect, how amazing it would be, and how hard. We lived in South Korea for 19 months teaching three through seven year olds daily and first through third graders several times each week.Table of Contents

The Essential Set of Personal Qualities Every Teacher Should Have - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
Since my childhood, I have been frequently asked the same question "what kind of teacher do you want?" At different life stages, I have different answers. When I was a kid, I would say a teacher who dresses neatly and smiles nicely; when I was a teenager, I would prefer a "cool" teacher as a good teacher, who behaves differently from other boring and stereotyping adults; until I grow up, I think a good teacher should have sound subject knowledge, be fair and consistent with all of the students as well as being sensitive to the students' reactions and providing necessary support, and until now I know being a good teacher has nothing to do with his/her appearances and dressings.Table of Contents

I have always loved and benefited from etymological definitions of words and always wonder sometimes even the etymological definition of a very simple word like "sorry" which leads to great insights and a better understanding of that particular word which in turn pays off in ways that have a great positive impact on both my personal and professional life. For that very reason, I have found the etymological definitions of both words "learning" and "techniques".Table of Contents

Types of Student Assessment Every Teacher Will Encounter - TEFL Blog
Shirin Sophy

It is often argued that exams probably are one of the integral parts of every syllabus, and a course appears to be left open-ended and aimless without a propitious final examination. While many people totally believe in academic achievement assessment through formal examination and the element of competitiveness it introduces, opponents persuasively argue against this notion and refer to the devastating impact, and the strain students are inevitably exposed to as a result of rigorous and lengthy exams. In this article, several types of assessment are overview, but first, let's have a look at some examination methods.Table of Contents

As a Spaniard in love with languages, I can't start this essay without saying anything other than, "it's not who the teacher is, but the will of teaching that they have". Through all these years of learning English, I just know for sure that a learner learns more when they live in and with the language throughout each day. They need to become hooked to it, and it does not matter if the person who transmits this feeling is a native speaker or not.Table of Contents

Peculiarities of the English Language Every ESL Teacher Needs to Know - TEFL Blog

A language is a tool that allows us to organize our thoughts as well as to communicate. Since language is unable to be separated from our conscious thought, it can be difficult to imagine how another language can function without the use of the core elements that we employ in our own native language. Likewise, it can be difficult to comprehend the function of a language element completely foreign to us. As a teacher, it can be important to understand the peculiarities of English to understand which language elements may be more difficult for the student. Some elements that may be completely new to English learners are the number system, verb tenses, and locative language.Table of Contents

Amazing Perks of Being a Volunteer Teacher - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
Being a teacher is not like any other jobs. For example, if you are an engineer and you don't like your job, you can still manage to go to work but to be a teacher, you have to love what you do. It is just like being a mother of 20-30 children. You have to take care of them one by one. You have to be their psychologist, mentor, and idol at the same time. It's not something that you can do just for the money; at least if you're good at your job. That is why being a volunteer in teaching is an excellent way of making this planet better. There are a few reasons to be a volunteer teacher and this essay will mention some of them.Table of Contents
