Classroom Discipline For Effective TEFL Work
Discipline, according to Fields, Perry & Fields, (p.4, 2010) can be regarded as helping the children or students to learn personal responsibility for their behavior and to judge between right and wrong for themselves. This definition, apart from a common understanding of the discipline, tells the importance of guidance as to the proactive measure of punishment. To establish discipline, that is to say, establish guidance, it is vital to take necessary precautions and set up the physical and emotional dimension of the classroom.

How Should Teachers Analyze Their Work? - TEFL Blog

How Should Teachers Analyze Their Work?
It is critical and necessary, that as purveyors of educational content, a teacher ensures they undertake periodic analysis of their methods, rationale, and motivations for the job. Periodic self-analysis is important, as it can be one defining factor in what separates a "good" from a "great" teacher. In my experience as a teacher, I have often used a teaching log to note my findings and experiences in the classroom. Brookfield (1995) defines a teaching log "as a weekly record of the events in a teacher's life that have impressed themselves most vividly on his or her consciousness"(p.72). In this paper, I present four main ideas, based on experience, in favor of a critical self-analytical method... [Read more]

What Incentives Work With ESL Students?
I have been a teacher my whole life. First, I coached volleyball to a group of eleven-year-olds. Afterward, I became (and still am) a yoga teacher currently looking to extend my teaching qualifications towards teaching English to kids online. Through all this experience I have come to know that the true power of a teacher revolves around his/her ability to involve and motivate students; to inspire and elevate them. That alone can bring about faster development than any amount of grammar exercises and drills ever would on their own.

Why TEFL Teachers Should Work on Establishing Rapport
Establishing rapport with students is a crucial part of any successful teacher because it allows teachers to teach their students more effectively and in different ways. Rapport is defined as, "the ability to maintain harmonious relationships based on affinity...is more colloquially thought of as what happens when two people "click"—they connect, interact well, and respond to each other favorably" (Weimer, facultyfocus.com).

Three Strategies For Teachers to Work on Confidence
One of the most important traits a teacher can bring into the classroom is confidence. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary Confidence is "a feeling or consciousness of one's powers or reliance on one's circumstances" and " faith or belief that one will act in a right, the proper, or efficient way". When a teacher is confident in the classroom it will help create a more relaxed and trusting environment.
