TEFL Information Alumni Experiences
I was born in Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh. I had the privilege of being educated at some of the best private schools in town, all of whom followed an industry-standard curriculum for teaching English and other English language subjects. The British Council later adopted this with various examination boards from reputed Universities in the UK.
As such, I would like to share a bit of it.
The history of teaching English in Bangladesh
The Level of English
Learning for the new generation
Limitations faced by the learners
The new standard path for English learners and speakers

Alumni Report: What It’s Like Teaching English in Austria - TEFL Blog
Linda Dunsmore
Alumni Experiences
Between 2017 and 2018 after I had graduated with a bachelor's degree in German and English, I moved to Vienna, Austria to become an English teaching assistant through the Fulbright group. I was placed at two schools in Lower Austria and taught around 14-15 classes each week for 50 minute periods. Going into the situation, I honestly felt underprepared and confused as to what I was supposed to teach and how. The program attempted to orientate the teaching assistants, but in reality, there was much I did not know.

Teaching EFL in a Kindergarten - What Is It Like? - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
Imagine what a child may feel when going to kindergarten for the first time. The new environment tends to be intimidating. EFL kindergartens are even more so due to foreign faces that speak foreign languages. In this essay, I'm going to talk about important aspects teachers need to embrace when teaching EFL in a kindergarten. I will refer specifically to the advantages of using play, establishing an environment of clear rules and the language enrichment that comes with oral storytelling. These ideas stem from my +5 years of teaching EFL in international kindergartens in China.
Is it possible if you don't know the kids' mother tongue?

Having spent more than 20 years as a marketing consultant, I decided to change career, to become an English language teacher. Hence, I took up the 120-hour TEFL course with ITTT, along with a specialised course in teaching young learners and another one in teaching business English. Even before I finished my TEFL course, I was offered a teaching job with a private school in Bangkok, Thailand. I have since been teaching kindergarten kids for about 8 months.

Grammar Lessons: Does Teaching Standard Grammar Mean Delivering it Like a Native Speaker? - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
Studying and learning standard English grammar is an experience that most native speakers must also do. Furthermore, even after learning grammar in an English education system, many native speakers still make grammatical errors in their everyday conversations, and especially so when writing formal documents.
Is clarity is over norms and rules?
Is focusing on mistakes effective?
