Online vs. On-Site TEFL Courses
The content of online courses and onsite courses is similar. As for the effect of learning, it varies from person to person. Some students like online courses. Because online courses do not need to go to the site to attend classes, they can go to class directly at home, which is convenient and time-consuming. It is more flexible, you can choose the time of the lecture, and you can listen to it repeatedly during the validity period. In particular, most of the users of our drop-out network are in-service personnel, and they can use the time to watch the video to learn. Face-to-face courses are convenient,some students prefer onsite courses because the courses are more direct, and they can... [Read more]

Teaching ESL vs. EFL - What’s the difference?
ESL is English which is usually taught to students in an English speaking country. EFL is English which is taught to students in a foreign, non-English speaking country. As it is true of many European countries, where is common to learn to speak more than one foreign language. For these reasons ESL is typically the term used in the United States, an English-speaking nation, whereas EFL is more often the term of choice in countries where English is not the native language.

Teaching Children With Varying Learning Abilities
I started teaching children and youth ten years ago. Most of these children are diagnosed with learning difficulties, and I am teaching them in a class of four or five students. My students have different learning abilities even though they are all enrolled in the same class of a year level. These students have a session with me twice-a-week, one hour per session, which I feel is not enough to help them catch up with their academic lessons.

Student profiling, also known as learner profile, is one of the first things a teacher or schooling system tends to do with new students. It involves either a document/questionnaire or a series of conversations with the student and the parents, to assess the student's background and to help the teaching staff understand the strengths, needs, interests and learning patterns of the student.

Here the tongue is on or very very near the alveolar ridge. It's typically the tip of the tongue or what's just behind the tip of the tongue, called the blade of the tongue.

The Secrets of Effective Motivation Techniques in an EFL Classroom
The needs of the students in the classroom environment must be determined well. The negative behaviors and failure of the student are related to the learning environment. It is important and necessary for teachers to prepare an environment that will facilitate learning. However, the creation of an appropriate learning environment is possible with the teacher knowing the individual and group characteristics of the students. A lot of problems are taken care of and the teaching proceeds healthily by knowing the instructional needs of the students. One of the most important tasks of the teacher is to motivate students.
