TEFL Hanoi - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ TEFL Vietnam ▷ ITTT course
There’s only a handful of cities in the world that truly deserve ‘must visit’ status and Hanoi is certainly one of them. While most people can only dream about a fleeting trip to Hanoi – if they’re lucky – ‘living like a local’ and working as EFL teacher in this magnificent city is a realistic proposition for anyone with a sense of adventure.
Hanoi is Vietnam’s capital city and the seat of government. It’s noticeably smaller than Ho Chi Minh City in the south, but the pace of life is similarly frenetic. While Ho Chi Minh City is often referred to as Vietnam’s ‘engine room’, Hanoi is more of a ‘grand old lady’.
It’s tough to pin down what makes Hanoi such a special place. Is it because there’s history, culture and art on display in seemingly every street... [Read more]

Child Development stages in relation to ESL Teaching

2. Preoperational stage
3. Concrete operational stage

Theories of Child Development
Child development unfolds in distinct stages, each marked by profound changes in cognition, language acquisition, and social interaction. Just as children progress through stages like sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational in their cognitive growth, so too do students learning a second language move through predictable stages of language acquisition. From preproduction to advanced fluency, these stages reflect varying degrees of language proficiency influenced by factors such as educational background and cultural exposure.

Teaching Ideas
There are many ways to teach students English or any other language. You can learn in an immersive environment, a formal classroom setting, or even try to learn from watching and listening to media. One common format is one to one teaching. This means there are one student and one teacher working on the curriculum together. This can be in person or on the internet, which is becoming increasingly more common. As with all things in life, there are both good and bad aspects resulting from this teaching format. Individual attention has benefits and drawbacks, as does the lack of peers.

How to go from teaching English online to teaching in-class? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ TEFL FAQs
This post discussion focuses on making the transition between teaching English as a second or foreign language online to doing the same thing in a physical classroom. It assumes you have been teaching for some time online in a particular situation and therefore have background knowledge of teaching.
There are three main factors that we will cover:
Teaching English online may be done from anywhere in the world where a good stable internet connection is available. Teaching EFL in-class is also available worldwide in English speaking and non-English speaking countries. You should do enough research to make yourself aware of the culture of the country you intend to teach in, as you may find the requirements somewhat different if you have been teaching online.

Growing up I always had an interest in learning and teaching a language. Of course, English was my best subject and I always made sure I was part of the drama club playing one of the big roles. During my kindergarten days, our teacher used to play musical chairs as we waited for our parents to come to pick us up. It's interesting that now as a teacher I really love using it for my lessons and have tried to upgrade it just a little bit more.

Teaching at a University in China - TEFL Blog

Alumni Experiences
In China, there is the option to teach in either private or public institutions. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Public institutions such as universities tend to be well resourced with time set aside for lesson planning but are less well paid than their private counterparts. Although this appears to be balanced, as those who work at the universities receive more benefits and a more generous holiday allowance that allows the university teachers to make the most of being in China with ample opportunity to explore.
