The Importance of Motivation in Online Teaching
Sarah Jennings
TEFL Information
Motivation serves as a cornerstone for language learning success, and while students are expected to bring their own motivation to class, teachers play a significant role in fostering and sustaining it. Online teaching presents unique challenges in this regard, as building rapport and connection can be more challenging compared to traditional classrooms. However, with dedication and creativity, online teachers can effectively motivate their students. In this post, we explore five strategies to boost student motivation in the online learning environment.

Teaching Ideas
With the rapid development of the times, today's education is very different from the past. There are some new characteristics for the current education. Teachers are facing many new situations and problems. Teachers need to accept challenges and adjust their roles in time to adapt to the development of today's education.

Tutoring in TEFL Teaching - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
Teaching English to an individual student is a common form of EFL classroom setting nowadays. Luckily, I happened to have the chance to work as a one-to-one English tutor before. Although I was a novice English teacher at that time, the experience of teaching one to one certainly helped me develop as a teacher and gave me a new perception of English teaching. There were some challenges I faced as a novice English tutor which I did not know how to solve, but now after self-evaluation and taking TESOL course, I gained a deeper understanding on teaching one to one and how to solve the problems in class.

Educational Practice: A Look into Issues in Teaching in South Korea
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
For this task, I have selected Korea as a choice for some students having difficulty learning. Korea is one of the countries investing a lot in the field of English education. Also, results achieved by Korean students on the TOEFL test improved by 10 points over the past six years. However, there still seems to be less proficient skills in writing and speaking in English.

Child Development stages in relation to ESL Teaching
Jon ITTT
TEFL Information
By Kyle Cullinan
1. Sensorimotor stage
2. Preoperational stage
3. Concrete operational stage
4. Formal 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. For ESL teachers, understanding these stages is... [Read more]

Private Classes in EFL Teaching - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
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.

Personal Teaching Experience: Practice in Shanghai - TEFL Blog

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.

There is a world tendency to start learning English at a very young age. This may be a result of globalization and developing countries putting more attention on education. Apart from that, many studies and real-life experience show that young children have a great ability to grasp a foreign language, therefore kindergarten is a perfect time to begin.

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.

My English Teaching Experience in Japan - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
About a year and a half ago, I began a part-time job teaching English in Japan. The school I taught at, Sunny Club, was a small cram school run in the first level of a two-story home. The physical space could accommodate only 20 students at a time, and it meant that there was very little room to breathe during lessons. While the small size was a hindrance at times, working for Sunny Club was one of the most fulfilling experiences that I have had.

Teaching can be defined as the action of a person imparting skills or knowledge, giving instructions, the job which requires teaching, the profession of great responsibility and specific character. The teacher is not only the person who gives knowledge but can be a model of competence. The role of the teacher is significant as they teach more than lessons in a book, try to teach how to think and how to choose the right above the wrong, to differentiate deeper things than peoples' outlook. The teacher is a manager of creating a special atmosphere in the classroom conducive to learning, this person guides the south of the difficulties.
