Tefl reviews - May Vs Might English Grammar Teaching Tips - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
May vs Might - English Grammar - Teaching Tips
Even though many people use "may" and "might" interchangeably, they actually have slightly different meanings. The word "may", for example refers to a possibility, while "might" conveys slightly more uncertainty. In the example "There are dark clouds in the sky. It may rain later", we use "may" because the dark clouds suggest the possibility of rain. The sentence "I'm sick but I might come to the party" uses "might" because it is not certain the person will go to the party. This means, you should use 'may' when there is some kind of a sign that predicts or indicates future happenings. You should use 'might' when expressing something a little more unlikely or uncertain.

English Grammar - Past Continuous - Teaching Ideas 2 - TEFL
For this TEFL teaching idea we ask the students to look at a scene in a hospital where there are several people doing different things. Students are given time to memorise the picture before it is turned over. The students would then be asked to say what the people were doing in the picture. For example:
A nurse was giving a patient an injection.
A man was pouring a glass of water.
As the trainer notes in the video, this activity can be adapted to make it into a competition by having students in teams compete to remember as many actions as they can.
Grammar points such as this are often seen as fairly boring to most English language students, especially those who do not choose to study English. So being able to come up... [Read more]

Why Completing a TEFL Course is the First Step Towards a Greater World
In the world we live in, being different is often deemed as bad. Where being the minority is often looked down upon. Sometimes we don't like to admit that, but it is true. What people need to realize is that we are no different from one another. Someone from rural China is just as much of a person as I am even though we live thousands of miles away. The only difference is our story. Where we came from, whom we know, what we stand for. Our story and our background are what make us all unique and special. The sad reality is that the vast majority of us will never be able to experience another persons' life. An astronomically large amount of the world's... [Read more]

Mercury Center has immediate opportunities in Vietnam for TEFL qualified teachers. We were founded by two humble street vendors, Peter and his brother, who came from difficult beginnings.

After an early experience with foreign customers, they realized that the standard of English in Vietnam was simply not good enough.

The Best English Teacher’s Personal Qualities
Teaching is not an easy profession, to begin with. Furthermore, teaching English as a foreign language adds even more complications and considerations. Many different qualities contribute to the aptitude of an English teacher. For starters, one must have the aptitude for the language itself. English, like all other languages, is a difficult and complex language. To teach a language properly, the teacher must have a certain level of fluency in that language. Although this may seem obvious, it is an important requirement because teaching a student incorrectly is almost worse than not teaching them anything at all. Therefore, fluency in English is an important enough characteristic that I... [Read more]

Amazing Perks of Being a Volunteer Teacher
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.
