Luciana Maluf TEFL Information Alumni Experiences Neurodiversity celebrates the differences between our brains and as a concept in itself, it is relatively new. It was first used in a magazine back in 1998 and was coined as a term by Singer in 1999, whose son had Asperger's syndrome. Neurodiversity describes the different ways in which brains develop, leading to different strengths and challenges related to thinking and learning. People with dyslexia, autism and ADHD are examples of neurodivergent learners. Neurodiverse English language students are not trying to be disruptive just because we must support and have modifications in place to make the educational process more accessible to all. Some neurodivergent students may have disabilities, but others may not. First, we must educate...  [Read more]

Linda Dunsmore Alumni Experiences In 2016, I was given the amazing opportunity to teach English in the beautiful country of Brazil. In my first few weeks there, I learned how to teach by observing a professional instructor at the English language school and then practicing in front of my new colleagues. These were my first steps into the world of teaching. This post was written by our ITTT graduate Kyler J. During my first month at the English school in Brazil, I learned as much about the culture of Brazil and the students who lived there as I did about being a teacher. When I finally began working directly with the students in my second month, I started with the advanced and master classes. Later on, I would begin my work with the intermediate classes. The reason for this was largely...  [Read more]

Federico Riva Alumni Experiences Currently living in Bangkok, Thailand, I am teaching English to Primary Six students and I am in a supposed international context. Juggling a body of students who are not entirely international and largely Thai can at times be like pulling teeth. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Kavitha S. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. The students are generally driven at first but soon lack motivation mainly because they do not have enough exposure to the English Language. Though activities like word searches have been mostly a hit with students, at times I do wonder if they truly comprehend the value behind it. It is a true fear for me as an educator that students may not know...  [Read more]

Linda Dunsmore Alumni Experiences A TEFL course is the first step towards a successful career in teaching English abroad.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas This summative task will review the subject matter and discuss strategies and techniques that have been employed within actual classes delivered in Singapore and Hong Kong to Chinese, Japanese, and Korean businesspeople. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Dean R. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. As the language of international business is English, the overwhelming driver for Business English learning is a day to day conversation and development of a strong business vocabulary. Grammar whilst important is key BUT not as crucial and is often addressed through speaking tasks. The teaching of Business English does require "some" awareness of the subject matter and as such...  [Read more]

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...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences When deciding to teach as a TEFL teacher abroad one has to be aware of the challenge of “cultural sensitivity in the classroom”. Whether one already knows where to look for employment or the location still is unclear a teacher needs to be prepared to face cultural issues in a country of a foreign culture. There will be stereotypes, different religious beliefs, social differences and issues between several ethnic groups. People might project stereotypes onto other groups and also they may have to endure resentment towards themselves. Those issues will have to be addressed and resolved if a teacher wants to be successful. There are gaps in the classroom between the students and their teacher and also among the students themselves. Those gaps need...  [Read more]

Linda Dunsmore Alumni Experiences Description: Teaching English as a foreign language in a kindergarten can be a dynamically different experience than teaching students in older age groups. Teaching in a kindergarten has advantages such as motivation, smiles, and the ability to learn the material in short bursts. It also has disadvantages, such as; short attention spans, diapers, and tantrums. Teaching young children can be extremely rewarding and extremely demanding. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate William K. Teaching Children between the ages of two and five has some advantages that can be very rewarding. My first class ever was teaching children between the ages of two and a half and three and a half. I was quick to learn some of the obvious advantages of...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences In loco parentis is the perfect phrase to describe the teacher’s role in the classroom and the responsibility they have towards their students. Young children spend many hours in the classroom – an atmosphere created primarily for learning, teaching, and socializing – and many more hours in the home – a different learning atmosphere inhabited largely by family members and, sometimes, friends. In a bygone era, the teacher’s role was seen as sacred and their knowledge as unquestionable, in some cases; given that a majority of the pre-baby boomer population may have been uneducated, it was felt that their knowledge was not like the teacher’s and therefore they trusted their children over to the teacher, largely adopting a tendency to support...  [Read more]

There is a long standing stereotype or stigma that school is boring.

The common denominator in those movie scenes is a teacher speaking...  [Read more]

This becomes the basis on which their motivation, or lack thereof, to study English is built. Coming from a motivational background, I was self-assured that my plans to get my low-level High School students motivated about learning English would be less challenging to implement.

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences I work in two schools. I am an assistant language teacher at one commercial (low-level English) high school, and an integrated (high-level English) academic junior high and high school. I have had experiences with different kinds of students, Japanese-English teachers, and classroom atmospheres. In Japan, students take an entrance exam to get into high school. If they scored low on the entrance exam, then they are placed in the lowest ranking class. Each school has a certain number of classrooms for each grade. Both of my high schools have six classes total for each grade. There are usually around forty to forty-two students in each class as well. Teaching forty plus students in a crowded classroom is difficult. And unlike many stereotypes of...  [Read more]
