Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences As we all know that the process of learning how to speak our first and second or third languages are different, we acquire the first language and learn second and third languages. When we speak our mother language, we can just say it automatically, we acquire our mother language from our environment, before we learn words and sentences, but when we learn a second language, we inevitably need to learn the vocabularies, clauses, sentences, grammar, etc first, then try to translate the second language to our mother language, which is complex. As far as common linguistic problems are concerned, I think there are a lot of problems to consider. Here are some of the most commoner linguistic problems.

This can make it challenging to maintain discipline, keep students engaged, and create a positive learning environment. Effective classroom management strategies, such as setting clear expectations, establishing routines, and using positive reinforcement, are essential for TEFL teachers to address this challenge successfully. Another significant challenge for TEFL teachers is the language barrier between themselves and their students. In many cases, students may have limited proficiency in English, making it difficult for them to understand...  [Read more]

Additionally, storytelling can help students improve their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in a fun and engaging way. 1.

Linda Dunsmore Alumni Experiences According to the EF English Proficiency Index, in the year 2017 Italy ranked last - among European countries - in English proficiency skills. Being an Italian myself and having studied foreign languages up to my Master's Degree, I have progressively grown aware of the main factors which cause Italy to perform so poorly. Other than grammatical gaps, which are not to be analyzed in this context, I have noticed how the extremely limited exposition to spoken words can affect not only the students' ability to understand and follow conversations or arguments, but even the possibility for them to be understood when trying to speak. Lack of Proper Inflection and Correct Pronunciation Rolling /r/ Adding Vowels or Additional Consonants Problems with the Diphthong...  [Read more]
