When I think of having my teaching observed either by an inspector or by a teacher-in-training, I think of the Christmas song, which impels its listeners, "He knows when you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake!" The reason is simple, when we know we are being scrutinized, we do a better job! In reality, students observe their teachers every day, and even without expertise in the field of education, students know implicitly a good teacher from a bad... [Read more]

Advantages of Teaching Adult Students and Implications on Teacher’s Methodology - TEFL Blog
Linda Dunsmore
Alumni Experiences
How does teaching adults differ from teaching young learners? To most people, it should be rather obvious that teaching children is very different from teaching adults, due to adults being more mature and having more life experience than children. This article discusses the advantages of teaching adult students and what the implications on a teacher's methodology are. Adult learners refers to anyone who is above the age of eighteen. Although it is not a perfect definition, we will nevertheless use eighteen as our cut-off age since it is the most common age threshold in many language schools when it comes to deciding whether a student should go to a children's class (6-17 in many occasions) or an adult's class (18+).

Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
In the language classroom, there are many roles that a teacher should be able to play to be well-rounded. In different situations and problems, a teacher will need to change his/her roles to complement the matter or to solve the conflicts. I would like to discuss a few roles that a teacher would need to play in a classroom: Entertainer, motivator, and leader/manager.

Traditional Approach Comparing to The Modern Point of View Towards Teacher's Part in Teaching - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
In traditional teaching, teachers are not only the teachers of teaching content, the controller of the teaching process, the organizer of the teaching activities, the judges of the students' academic achievements, but also the absolute authority. This kind of teaching style of laying too much stress on teaching by teachers instead of understanding and learning by students themselves overstretched the dominant position of teachers, ignoring the students at the center.

What cultural sensitivities should TEFL teachers be aware of when teaching abroad? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT TEFL & TESOL
When teaching English as a foreign language abroad, it is crucial for TEFL teachers to have a deep understanding of the cultural differences that exist between their home country and the country they are teaching in. This includes knowledge of traditions, beliefs, values, social norms, and customs. By familiarizing themselves with the local culture, teachers can avoid inadvertently causing offense or misunderstanding their students' behavior. It is also important to be aware of the cultural context in which the English language is being taught, as this can influence the way students learn and use the language.
Respecting cultural norms is essential for TEFL teachers working in a foreign country. This includes being mindful of appropriate dress codes, body language, gestures, and forms of... [Read more]

Does a Non-Native English Speaking Teacher Give in on the Point of Teaching? - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
The United States of America, Canada, The United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. If one is not a citizen of one of the aforementioned countries, they are not likely to be considered as a native English speaker. There are certain countries such as the Caribbean Islands, India, Philippines and Singapore in which English is the official language and which use English as a primary language among the citizens. However, they are not recognized as native speakers of English due to various reasons, mainly accent, even though the use of the English language, including both grammar and vocabulary, doesn't differ too much from British English or American English.

Disadvantages of teaching groups
Sarah Jennings
Teaching Ideas
Anyone who has done group work knows that it can have its fair share of disadvantages. Let's take a look at why.
Working in a team as a student can consume a significant amount of time. Scheduling meetings outside of class hours and coordinating with everyone's availability adds an extra layer of complexity. This can be especially challenging for sixth-form students who are already overscheduled. Researchers have debated whether the time-intensive nature of group work undermines its effectiveness. Consequently, there is a growing body of research exploring situations where group work may not be appropriate in the classroom. Some studies suggest that for simpler tasks, students may achieve better results when working individually.

The advantages of teaching English to Groups of students
Sarah Jennings
Teaching Ideas
Teaching a group or small class of students has many advantages. Students who are able to speak and practice English conversation will benefit from the small group and safe environment that comes from discussions at close quarters.
The advantages of teaching English to groups of students are numerous. Not only do collaborative learning projects foster an environment where 'two heads or more heads are better than one,' but they also provide opportunities for students to learn from peers and make friends. When students work together on problem-solving tasks, they are more likely to experiment with different techniques and learn faster from both positive and negative feedback. Moreover, engaging in discussions and questioning each other's opinions and... [Read more]
