The Importance of Designing Lessons with Multiple Intelligence in Mind
Howard Gardener, in his 1993 book Frames of Mind, provides a means of mapping the broad range of abilities humans possess. His later work expanded upon this and posits that our capabilities can be grouped into eight comprehensive categories or intelligences (Gardener, 1999). These are the eight proposed: linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, interpersonal, and naturalist. When asked why intelligence and not talent, he said "I am deliberately being somewhat provocative. If I'd said that there are seven kinds of competencies, people would yawn and say 'Yeah, yeah.' But by calling them 'intelligence,' I'm saying that... [Read more]

How do you motivate TEFL students? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ TEFL FAQs
How do you motivate TEFL students?
Motivating young learners often proves straightforward, as they typically greet activities with eager enthusiasm. Likewise, adult learners usually exhibit determination and interest, being in the class by choice and possessing explicit objectives related to their career, academic, or personal life. However, the teenage years can present a different set of challenges. As adolescents, learners often become reticent to participate in class due to fear of making errors or being embarrassed among their peers. Their self-awareness can hinder full engagement in classroom activities. Here are some effective strategies to bolster motivation and participation in your teenage students.

Classroom Management Strategies to Control Student Behavior
The range of roles EFL teachers plays to ensure that learning takes place is undoubtedly wide. Among these, we may see teachers as planners, deciding which aspects of the subject to teach and how to do it; as facilitators, providing learners with strategies to guide them in the quest for knowledge; and as managers, establishing the patterns of interaction among students and making sure they focus their attention on the lesson and engage in the proposed tasks. Considering these roles, I think the latter seems to be the hardest one to perform since it involves managing people's attitude and behavior, which means establishing and maintaining discipline in such a way that it...

Keeping Adult Students Motivated: Reasons and Outcomes
Most Adult ESL students are highly motivated students – at first. They are eager to join a formal class setting to improve their English skills for themselves and for their future (career). They usually voluntarily join the class (unless instructed by a manager or supervisor). So in fact, the motivation is internal and comes naturally from within themselves. This is great for the teacher and usually assures an energetic start to the class term. However, as the term continues, the motivation naturally wines down. The excitement fades and the students have more excuses for not coming to class or when in class, have a low participation rate. So, as an ESL Instructor, why is... [Read more]

There is one question that often arises: is acquiring a Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certificate necessary for online teaching. In this text, I argue that while a TEFL certificate is not mandatory for all online teachers, it is highly recommended for inexperienced teachers and amateurs who wish to embark on an online teaching career. The certificate provides essential pedagogical knowledge and boosts credibility, making it particularly beneficial for those lacking prior teaching experience or a pedagogical background. Now let's go through the most important aspects of acquiring a TEFL certificate and decide whether each teacher needs... [Read more]

How Do We Teach English as a Second Language or English as a Foreign Language?
Language as a second language or as a foreign language consists of classroom course material and student-teacher components that require a certain educational environment to be taught. Language acquisition starts from early childhood to the critical age of 13 years. Born into a natural language environment, the child begins to process the language pragmatically thanks to its sound, environment, and natural language skills.
