Why is English spoken all over the world? - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
Before we talk about English as a global language, we should know what global language and how a language becomes a global language. Refers to Mastin, L., 2011, "Global language essentially refers to a language that is learned and spoken internationally and is characterized not only by the number of its native and second language speakers, but also by its geographical distribution, and its use in international organizations and diplomatic relations. " Global language is the language known and commonly used by most countries in the world when some business relationship happens between two or more than two countries, to promote the development of politics, economy, and culture.

Why Completing a TEFL Course is the First Step Towards a Greater World - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
In the world we live in, being different is often deemed as bad. Where being the minority is often looked down upon. Sometimes we don't like to admit that, but it is true. What people need to realize is that we are no different from one another. Someone from rural China is just as much of a person as I am even though we live thousands of miles away. The only difference is our story. Where we came from, whom we know, what we stand for. Our story and our background are what make us all unique and special. The sad reality is that the vast majority of us will never be able to experience another persons' life. An astronomically large amount of the world's population will never be able to step into another persons' shoes and understand where they came from... [Read more]

Tolerance and Cultural Sensitivity in The Classroom - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
Since one of the essentials of being a good teacher is being respected by your students, it's very important to make sure one does not offend culturally by one's behavior or the content of the lessons. Lessons should be fun and at times feel "free" in the sense that students are laughing and interacting with each other and with the teacher perhaps in a game, but at no point should boundaries be crossed that would make students uncomfortable or put them in a defensive posture.
