Tefl reviews - They_re Vs Their Vs There English Grammar Teaching Tips - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
"They're", "their" and "there" are three words that are often used incorrectly. "They're" is simply the contracted form of "they are". "Their" is a possessive and indicates ownership of something. "There" indicates a place. Due to the Internet and instant messaging, the three words have been icreasingly used incorrectly. However, if you'd like to use them correctly, you should keep their meanings in mind. When trying to decide which word to use remember that "they're" = they are, "their" = ownership and "there" = place.

Tefl reviews - Assure Vs Insure Vs Ensure English Grammar Teaching Tips - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
In this video Linda explains the differences between "assure", "insure" and "ensure". They not only sound similar, but those three words also make an outcome sure but they are in no way interchangeable. "Assure" is used to speak out a promise or say something with confidence, for example "I assure you that he is a great lawyer". "Ensure" is used to make something certain, such as here: "Please ensure that you will be home at five o'clock today"."Insure" means to protect an object against risk by buying an insurance policy from an insurance company, like here: "I insure my television because it was expensive". Once you have realized the three different meanings and usages, there is no way you'll confuse them again.

Tefl reviews - Lightening Vs Lightning Vs Lighting English Grammar Teaching Tips - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
The three words lightening, lightning and lighting are easily confused by English learners and even native speakers. Let's take a look at the differences. Lightening is the present participle of the verb to lighten describing the action of making something less heavy. A good example would be "I was lightening the load on my horse because it was exhausted." Lightning refers to a streak of static electricity through the sky usually accompanied by thunder, as here "I was struck by lightning while playing golf in a storm." Lighting is the arrangement of light especially in photography. A suitable example for this would be "The photo was dull because the lighting wasn't good enough".

TEFL vs TESOL - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
The generally recognized acronym for the field of teaching English is ELT which simply means:
English Language Teaching.
Within this huge field there are a number of specialisms. One such specialism is the teaching of English to learners for whom English is not their first language. Three common acronyms that are often used when applied to this scenario are TEFL, TESL and TESOL.
By defining the terms we will show that the idea of comparing one versus the other, i.e. “TEFL vs TESOL” is not particularly useful. So what do they mean?
When the English teaching is to non native speakers and takes place in a country where the first language is not English. Examples would be teaching English in Peru or teaching English in Taiwan.
TESL applies when teaching English to non native speakers in a... [Read more]
They're vs. Their - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
Register now & get certified to teach english abroad!
Their and they’re sound the same in English and it is a common mistake to mix them up, even for native English speakers. However they have very different meanings.
THEY’RE – Basic Explanation
THEY’RE = THEY ARE
They’re is a contraction of they are.
THEIR – Basic Explanation
THEIR = a possessive adjective. It shows possession, that something belongs to some people you are not talking to right now.
Examples of other possessive adjectives are MY, YOUR, HIS, and HER:
My car, your car, his car, her car, their car.
THEIR is also used for a group of two or more people that are not with you right now.
The noun after their can refer to a thing (or person) that these people have.

Online vs. On-Site TEFL Courses - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
The content of online courses and onsite courses is similar. As for the effect of learning, it varies from person to person. Some students like online courses. Because online courses do not need to go to the site to attend classes, they can go to class directly at home, which is convenient and time-consuming. It is more flexible, you can choose the time of the lecture, and you can listen to it repeatedly during the validity period. In particular, most of the users of our drop-out network are in-service personnel, and they can use the time to watch the video to learn. Face-to-face courses are convenient,some students prefer onsite courses because the courses are more direct, and they can communicate directly with teachers on the spot. Any... [Read more]

TEFL salaries vs cost of living - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
One detail that people should consider when deciding where to work as an English teacher is how their potential salary weighs up against the local cost of living. Of course actual salaries vary and depend on a number of factors such as individual schools, a teacher's experience and qualifications. Similarly, cost of living depends greatly on personal lifestyle, wants and needs.
It is possible to gain an idea of the average salary and cost of living for individual countries and that is what we have tried to present here. Comparing salaries with cost of living is important because a high salary does not necessarily mean you will have more money at your disposal.

When to use "will" and when to use "going to" for expressing the future is a very confusing concept for some English learners. Both of these terms refer to the future but there is a slight difference between them. Let's take a look at the differences in the infographic below.
The structure "be going to" is normally used to indicate the future but with some type of connection to the present. It can be used in the following situations:
The decision has been made before the moment of speaking, for example:
Something is likely to happen based on the evidence or experience you have, for instance:
