Who Is Teach

  "Who" and "whom" are another set of words that often causes confusion. Howeer, there is actuall a simple trick to deciding which one to use in a sentence. "Who" is used to refer to the subject of a sentence and 'whom' is used to refer to the object. Keeping this in mind will eliminate the chance of making mistakes. We recommend the following trick. The usage of these two words is the same as he and him. "He" is the subject and "him" is the object. If you are confused about which one you should use, look at the sentences and check whether "he" or "him" should be used. If it's "he", then you should use "who". If it's "him", then "whom" should be used. Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online...  [Read more]

Culture shock is a common phenomenon experienced by many individuals who move to a new country or culture. TEFL teachers are particularly susceptible to culture shock due to the unique challenges of living and working in a foreign environment.

The adjustment stage is characterized by a growing sense of familiarity and comfort, leading to the adaptation stage where individuals feel fully integrated into the new culture.
