What is peer learning and is it useful in an ESL classroom? Let's first define what is peer learning. "Peer learning essentially refers to students learning with and from each other as fellow learners without any implied authority to any individual, based on the tenet that 'Students learn a great deal by explaining their ideas to others and by participating in activities in which they can learn from their peers' (Boud, 2001)" (Gwee, 2003).Table of Contents

Right Evaluation Methods to Keep Students Motivated - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
Many factors can impact students' motivation such as social, psychological, educational, economical, etc. However, a teacher can still play an important role to keep the students motivated. In Afghanistan's educational tradition, students are often compared to each other, and they are ranked based on tests and exams throughout the course. Additionally, the teacher corrects every student's assignment. Notice the word "correct" has been used instead of "mark" or "assess." The teacher will try to point out every single mistake or error. Having six years of English language teaching experience, plus observing my colleagues' and students' behaviour, and studying the methods of foreign language teaching , I have realized that teachers can considerably motivate...
