Tefl reviews - May Vs Might English Grammar Teaching Tips - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
Even though many people use "may" and "might" interchangeably, they actually have slightly different meanings. The word "may", for example refers to a possibility, while "might" conveys slightly more uncertainty. In the example "There are dark clouds in the sky. It may rain later", we use "may" because the dark clouds suggest the possibility of rain. The sentence "I'm sick but I might come to the party" uses "might" because it is not certain the person will go to the party. This means, you should use 'may' when there is some kind of a sign that predicts or indicates future happenings. You should use 'might' when expressing something a little more unlikely or uncertain.

They're vs. Their - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT

Their and they’re sound the same in English and it is a common mistake to mix them up, even for native English speakers. However they have very different meanings.
THEY’RE – Basic Explanation

They’re is a contraction of they are.
THEIR – Basic Explanation
THEIR = a possessive adjective. It shows possession, that something belongs to some people you are not talking to right now.
Examples of other possessive adjectives are MY, YOUR, HIS, and HER:
My car, your car, his car, her car, their car.

English idioms: Food ▷ Infographic - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
The English language contains many set phrases whose meanings cannot be discerned by looking at the individual words that make up the phrase. These phrases are called ‘idioms’ and they are used widely by native English speakers around the world; they are also a common cause of confusion for English language learners and as such many EFL students ask their teachers to teach them English idioms. Teachers used to think that there was no point in teaching idioms to students out of fear that they would use them incorrectly; however, as they are such a widely used part of the language it is now considered a good idea to teach them.
There are many books available for both teachers and learners that provide explanations of different idioms and exercises to help students practice. In... [Read more]

The Best Thing I Have Learned From My 120-hour TEFL/TESOL Course - TEFL Blog
Linda Dunsmore
Alumni Experiences
I have now taken both ITTT's 120-hour TEFL/TESOL course and the additional course for teaching young learners. Both courses have been very beneficial, and, although it is difficult to narrow the benefits down to one "best" thing, one of the most helpful things I have learned is the idea of reducing teacher talking time and increasing student talking time. I have found this concept to be particularly valuable as I prepare for a future TESOL position, and I have been very pleased to find that it has benefited me in my current teaching job in an American classroom, as well.
