Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
Learning a second language such as English is a process that requires practicing output and also input language, however, there must be challenges for the student during the learning process, especially when they are not yet able to express ideas or not being able to communicate with others through the second language. Students may be demotivated in their learning when they find failures using the second language, another possible reason to cause low-motivation is that they are not tentatively willing to join the course, as they may be required to join the course by their workplace.Table of Contents

Learning Grammar as the Most Essential Part of Language Learning - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
The Cambridge dictionary defines grammar as '(the study or use of) the rules about how words change their form and combine with other words to make sentences', but other dictionaries also include punctuation within the definition and, although they may not be strictly correct, the two aspects are so tightly interrelated, within the context of explicit and tacit meaning, the one can't be divorced from the other. One describes the landscape â past, present, and future â while the other provides the form: defining where entities begin and end, where the silences occur before turning the corner to meet with a new sound. The landscape has a pulse: it has rhythm.Table of Contents

How can I support students with different learning preferences and learning styles in my TEFL classroom? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT TEFL & TESOL
In a TEFL classroom, it is essential to recognize that students have different learning preferences and styles. Learning preferences refer to the ways individuals prefer to learn, such as visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learning. On the other hand, learning styles are the preferred approaches to learning, such as being a visual learner who benefits from seeing information presented visually. By understanding these differences, teachers can tailor their teaching methods to better meet the diverse needs of their students.
To support students with different learning preferences and styles, teachers can employ a variety of strategies. For visual learners, incorporating visual aids such as charts, diagrams, and videos can enhance comprehension. Auditory learners may benefit from listening to... [Read more]

The Relevance and Impact of Computer-Aided Language Learning in Teaching English
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
Today's technology-based society has a significant impact on how English is both experienced and taught. A great number of professionals spend a large part of their day on the Internet and interacting with all that it and ICT, in general, has to offer. Through it, they absorb information, generate knowledge and are both indirectly and directly educated and influenced. Computer-assisted language learning tools provide us with a vast number of resources that we can use both in the classroom when teaching collective language lessons or in a group and individual students assignments. I would like to elaborate on different aspects of Computer-Aided Language Learning (CALL), some of which were highlighted in the ITTT Business English unit.Table of Contents... [Read more]

Learning with Diversity - TEFL Blog

Alumni Experiences
One of the main things to keep in mind at all times as a TEFL teacher is the concept of cultural sensitivity. As a TEFL teacher, many possible scenarios may come up as culturally inappropriate for the country that one may be teaching in at the time. It is important to develop a thorough understanding of how to prepare oneself beforehand as well as the importance behind that understanding of the difference in cultural beliefs and norms. There are many benefits to showing an attitude of acceptance and respect for the cultures. This issue needs to be addressed from all angles to secure a healthy relationship with the students.Table of Contents

Linguistic Learning - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
Many language learning theories are proposed based on certain linguistic theories. In fact, knowledge in linguistics lies at the root of understanding what language learners can learn, how they learn and what they learn ultimately. Therefore, linguistics has always played an important role in the studies of language acquisition and learning. For example, as Ellis (1994:1) points out, "whereas much of the earlier second language acquisition work focused on the linguistic and, in particular, the grammatical properties of learner language and was psycholinguistic in orientation, later work has also attended to the pragmatic aspects of learner language and, increasingly, has adopted a sociolinguistic perspective. So, linguistics has indeed been relevant to... [Read more]
