Mon, 29 Mar 2021 Elizaveta Pachina TEFL Information Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas Two Useful Practices to Decrease Teacher Talking Time As a teacher, our role is to be the leader in the classroom. However, this does not mean that we should be speaking in front of the class the entire class time.

If a teacher speaks 90% of the time and students sit back and listen, then they will lose focus, not practice themselves, and the teacher will tire out. That is why I will propose two ways we can decrease teacher speaking time. Table of Contents Practice 1 Practice 2: Are you...  [Read more]

This is because all native speakers use some level of slang in their everyday speech, in the classroom, and even in their workplace. For this reason alone, ESL students need to begin learning common slang they may hear. Table of Contents Situational awareness Learning activities Do you want to teach English abroad or online?
