Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas In the following essay, I consider something like a continuum from task to the game to assessment, but only in the bookend learning moments of "input" and "output." I often think of learners in my classrooms as a gray box—not quite a "black box," the inner workings of which are completely mysterious, but a thing into which we only ever have uncertain, provisional insight. We can do all sorts of theorizing about language acquisition and psychometry but will never have anything as exact as a litmus test. However accurate my notion is, it motivates me to focus on things that are much more knowable and observable: the inputs and outputs of a learning situation.Table of Contents My Personal Experience Teacher as a Medium of Real Life...  [Read more]

While many aspiring English teachers naturally lean towards urban centers for the sheer volume of job opportunities and bustling city life, there is a distinct allure to teaching in smaller towns. If you sign up for programs like South Korea's EPIK or France's TAPIF, your placement location may be predetermined. However, for those with the freedom to choose, the benefits of small-town teaching can be substantial and rewarding. Here is why teaching English in a less urbanized setting might be the right fit for you:Table of Contents Less pollution and noise Less traffic on the roads Seeing students and families outside of class Unusual traditions Learn about the town and community Many of today's global cities are grappling with significant air pollution, a concern for many, including...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences If someone asks me what I think about teaching kindergarten children as a native English teacher (NET), I would say that it is one of the happiest and most rewarding experiences that I have ever received. But, if someone asked me what I thought about teaching kindergarten children when I first started, I would have responded differently. I would say, "I can't seem to get my students' attention," or "Some of my students still have trouble learning new words." It was after a few weeks into teaching and some wonderful advice from my coworkers I realized that I had overlooked the fact that the students' age, perception, and interests play an important part in teaching. When I took those factors into mind, I realized the best way to teach my kindergarten...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas I am a teacher in a training center for young learners in China, Beijing. Our school has a praise system, to be more precise our school has its own money that students can use to buy some toys from our school's shop. To get this money students should listen to the teacher, do their homework, and pass the tests. The teachers can give them money even for each lesson if they want. And it is really useful to maintain discipline in the classroom. It's the first reason why we should praise the students. The second reason is that if you praise the students it increases their self-esteem and they are more likely to enjoy their course and be motivated during it.Table of Contents Speaking from my experience, I praise the students in several ways: And also I have 2...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Most of us take being able to read for granted. We seldom give a thought to how the process of learning to read began in our lives.

I am writing this essay based on my experience of having worked with learners ranging from those with various learning challenges to those with extreme learning disabilities.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Educators have debated on the topic of classroom management since the first class began. In the same way curricula and teaching cultures vary, as do the intricacies of classroom management. A topic that is, in my opinion, not taught enough in the realm of TEFL, is finding ways to manage a full classroom of young students for an entire day. As the trend for "kindergarten" prep courses rises in China, the void for managing 20+ five-year-olds has been dark and silent. Because many principals in these prep centers refuse to allow Mandarin in the classroom and the fact that these students do not initially understand basic commands in English, this creates a sense of chaos that hampers the learning process.Table of Contents Important Skills to Manage...  [Read more]

Federico Riva TEFL Information Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas The role of the teacher has experienced many shifts throughout the history of education. In a general sense, teachers in the past were more looked upon as glorified babysitters than educators. It was completely normal and acceptable for teachers in the past to follow a set lesson plan for all students. They would not try to accommodate specific individual student needs, and if students were to fall behind, it was just seen as that student was not smart enough to keep up with the class. Nowadays, the role of teachers has shifted towards adaptable teaching as well as nurturing healthy relationships with students in order to help them find success.Table of Contents Building Trust and Mutual Respect Teacher as a Guide, Not a...  [Read more]
