What I learned About a Teacher’s Attitude During My TEFL Certification Course
During my Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certification, I learned several valuable lessons. While knowing the English language and how to relay that to those who are learning the language is important, the most important lesson I learned is how a teacher's attitude directly affects student interaction and class rapport.

What sort of accommodation will I have during my in-class TEFL course?
Once you have secured a place on one of our in-class TEFL certification courses you will receive extensive information regarding all aspects of the course, including accommodation. The course fee does not typically cover your accommodation, so you will need to factor the cost of housing for the four weeks of your training into your overall budget. Your options will vary from one location to the next, but you can rest assured that we only recommend accommodation providers that have been thoroughly checked for comfort and value for money. Details of our recommended options can be found on each individual course location page, however, below is a brief overview of the most common options available.

What sort of accommodation will I have during my in-class TEFL course?
Accommodation during in-class TEFL courses can differ based on location. While the course fee generally doesn't encompass housing, we offer guidance on trusted and comfortable housing options tailored for a four-week training duration. Most often, participants can choose accommodations that have been vetted for both comfort and affordability. Common options, detailed on our course location pages, range from shared apartments where you have a private bedroom but share amenities like kitchens and living spaces, to various types of hotels, guesthouses and hostels. Always ensure you budget accordingly for this crucial aspect of your training experience.

Lesson Planning: What is it and Why is it Necessary?
Planning, planning, planning! Many things in life need to be properly planned, be it a summer holiday or a work presentation. It can be a plan that is formally written down or it can be a plan that you simply keep in your mind. Having some kind of structure in place before doing activities will help put you at ease because you know what to do next and what to expect. Planning will also make you more productive as there will be no 'guessing' time, you will know what to do and when to do it. Taking the time to plan your lessons will almost certainly save you time in the long run.

The ESA Methodology of Teaching - Types of ESA Lessons
This particular methodology is known as a straight arrow ESA lesson. If every single lesson that we undertook with our students was a straight arrow ESA lesson then it is quite possible that the students would be able to predict what is going to come up next and whilst this is good for the lower level students, then it could potentially become a little bit boring for our higher level students. So what Harmer did in his ideas about ESA, was to generate two other types of ESA lesson that we can use to try and generate a little bit more interest. So, the other two types of ESA lesson that we can follow: The first is known as a boomerang lesson and the second is known as a patchwork lesson and what we're going to do is to have a... [Read more]

After struggling a lot with learning as I was supposed to and believing that I was not smart enough, I finally took a subject at college that changed my thinking. This subject was called Educational Psychology and it was based on the actual necessity of creating a revolution or a change in education.
