When One Teaches, Two Learn - An English Teacher in Korea Shares Her Story - TEFL Blog

Alumni Experiences
I decided to write about the subject I'm an expert in, my personal teaching experience. The focus will be on what I've gained from the last nine years as an EFL instructor. I'll begin by telling you about my first teaching position in rural South Korea. Next, I'll share my experience taking the TEFL course. Finally, I'll discuss my efforts to become an independent online English instructor. I hope my experience can provide some insight into some of the many options for EFL teachers.

Why and How Should We Learn Teaching Skills? - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
It is easy for anyone to profess knowledge in a language, but teaching it is an entirely different story. When one doesn't even know the complexities of one's learning process, understanding how another person can come to learn may be a walk in the dark or frustrating to either the student or teacher and the results of a teacher unwilling to become a good one are unattractive.
My Point of View
How to Improve the Results
