Is Teaching an Innate Gift or an Acquired Skill? - TEFL Blog

Alumni Experiences
"Everyone who remembers his education remembers teachers, not methods, and or techniques. The teacher is the heart of the educational system" â Sidney Hook. Teaching is as ancient as time and its ways of imparting knowledge have evolved throughout the centuries. Past behind are those days when children were considered wicked and in need to be reformed (Hobbes' view). Likewise, it stopped being a one-way relationship where teachers had a dominant position and students were just mere recipients of data. Looking back at my school days, I compare teaching now and then. And even though roles and methods have made a 180 degrees turn, it has made me wonder why I can't remember my university Language teacher from ten years ago yet still... [Read more]

The Problem of Pronunciation for Russians Learning English - TEFL Blog

As a native Russian speaker I was worried about pronunciation from the very beginning of my English studies in primary school. It so happened that in my family my grandmother was an English teacher in high school who had worked in this position for more than 50 years. Naturally, I began my acquaintance with English much earlier than most of my peers. And the first step in the work of my grandmother in teaching me a foreign language was the formulation of pronunciation, something that most Russians have problems with.Table of Contents
