For The Sake Of My Country

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences The terms ESL and EFL are often used interchangeably because at their root they both mean the same thing; English for people who are not native to the language.

Elizaveta Pachina TEFL Information Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas In education, intelligence is not the only factor but maybe one of the most important ones. Regardless, many factors affect the children's education, such as financial situation, social structure, and even whether it is a developed country or a developing country. However, the role of the parents can not be ignored as it is essential as intelligence.

Elizaveta Pachina Destinations The Chinese education market has been growing for the recent ten years. As the country is getting more and more open towards the rest of the world, the demand for proper English training becomes ubiquitous.

If you find a position for an ESL teacher in China, chances are you get into a kindergarten. Two years ago, I found a teaching job in a private bilingual kindergarten chain in China. There were two main branches: a multiple intelligences kindergarten for children aged 3-7 years old...  [Read more]
