Fri, 06 Mar 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Reasons Why Evaluation and Testing are Extremely Important Evaluation and testing are important components for the teacher, students, and the teaching of ESL/EFL courses. These two tasks are both ways of measuring personal achievement about the progression of the course being taught. Without testing, it would be much more difficult for teachers to gauge their students' progression in the course and would likely prevent students from earning certifications in the English language. If evaluations are not conducted the teacher may be oblivious to their deficiencies in their teaching methods.

Mon, 08 Jun 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Why Course Materials are Important Most if not all courses make use of materials, regardless of the topic being taught. In ESL courses materials are crucial to the learning processes from the beginning to the end of a student's education in English. Whether the materials used are authentic, non-authentic, realia, or media, they aid the students by testing, reinforcing, and improving the learner's knowledge. Course materials also provide learners with a reference other than the instructor in the case of dictionaries and other reference materials. Table of Contents What are course materials?

Wed, 05 Aug 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Punishment and Behavioral Modification Within the Classroom Should teachers punish students for bad behavior? In my psychology class at university, we learned that there are many ways to curve or modify behavior, one method involves 2 different types of punishment. When we think of punishment in a classroom we typically think back to corporal punishment, which would be classified as Positive Punishment (when something is added to diminish behavior). This is quite frankly unacceptable in a classroom. This can have a great and direct psychological effect on the student's motivation to learn a language. Even if the behavior is not related to language learning, a student might subconsciously relate the punishment with learning...  [Read more]

Mon, 03 Aug 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences 3 Reasons Why Students Get Motivated to Learn a Foreign Language Increasing student motivation in the classroom is closely tied to student-teacher rapport. Throughout my career as a classroom teacher and lacrosse coach, I have found that students perform better for teachers they "like". I use quotations on the word "like" because I believe it is a student's way of expressing a strong relationship built on trust and respect with their teacher. Students will also perform better in classes they "like" as well. In this sense, I believe students are attempting to explain that the class they "like" is engaging and relevant to them. As a high school and middle school lacrosse coach, I have had the unique opportunity to talk with my...  [Read more]

Wed, 04 Sep 2019 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas The Gap Between 1st and 2nd Language Acquisition is Smaller than We Might Think One of the most frustrating things about learning a second language is how naturally your first language came to you and how unnaturally your second one seems to!
