Teach Abroad For A Semester

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas The worst feeling in the world is to stand in front of an audience only to be mocked, ridiculed and laughed at. This happens more so to students and less often to teachers. Sometimes it does happen and can have a long-lasting effect for the person on stage or our purposes in the classroom. If your sideline income is a clown purely for entertainment this may not bother you. As for the newly graduated and wide-eyed teacher, this can make or break them. Thankfully there are some tools and preparation for the teacher to gain enough confidence to stand in front of the classroom for the first time and make a syllabus blossom and bloom for their students in the forthcoming semester. Our is such a task. The present task is to illustrate the different methods,...  [Read more]

Mark Crocker Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas When a new teacher goes into a classroom for the first time they are confronted with the reality of human students, rather than what they have learned about teaching from a book. Often what they find is that much of what goes on does not necessarily follow their carefully planned lesson, as real life and the unpredictability of human nature can get in the way. Perhaps only after a couple semesters of experience can a teacher really figure out what to do with all levels of students to help build self-confidence in a skillful manner. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Anita B. One thing that a seasoned professional often discovers early on in their career is that it’s important to instill confidence in all students no...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Although I have never formally been a teacher, I have had the opportunity to teach and tutor in an informal way. As an international student at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, I was not allowed to work off-campus, so in my second semester, I joined the tutoring center and began to help a variety of different students with the various subjects I had studied in previous semesters. I assisted students with retail math, writing, textile science, and a few other subjects. I did this during my second semester, and then again in my fifth semester when I returned from my exchange program in Florence, Italy. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Mira S.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas No enterprise or activity can be said to be successful or to have failed in life without some forms of standards against which the goals and objectives of the activity are measured and assessed. This also applies to the activity of teaching and learning in the classroom, where the learning goals are assessed and evaluated during and after the activity and at the end of a specific period. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Fidelis O. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT.

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Increasing student motivation in the classroom is closely tied to student-teacher rapport. Throughout my career as a classroom teacher and lacrosse coach, I have found that students perform better for teachers they “like”. I use quotations on the word “like” because I believe it is a student’s way of expressing a strong relationship built on trust and respect with their teacher. Students will also perform better in classes they “like” as well. In this sense, I believe students are attempting to explain that the class they “like” is engaging and relevant to them. As a high school and middle school lacrosse coach, I have had the unique opportunity to talk with my players about their academic lives in a casual and low-stress...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas I’m writing this essay from the perspective of young learners (4-10years of age) and the role their parents play on their English learning journey. I have been an ESL teacher for nearly 10 years and I’ve been teaching my private students in my private classroom for about 8 years. It has been an incredible journey. During this time that I’ve been teaching, I’ve learned many wonderful things about teaching ESL and I have spent much time analyzing and contemplating, trying to puzzle together a clear picture which aspects of the learning process breeds the most conclusive success. I’ve come to realize that this jigsaw is extremely complex and many little pieces don’t always fit neatly together to form a clear comprehensive picture. However, if I...  [Read more]

Linda Dunsmore Budget and Salary TEFL Information Do you want to live abroad and experience a new culture? Studying abroad is a wonderful opportunity for university students to do just that - but it’s not the only way! Many students are eager to head overseas to study at a foreign university because they think if they don’t they will miss out and never have another chance of living in a foreign country. This is simply not true. The worldwide demand for qualified English teachers is through the roof giving everyone who wants to teach abroad the opportunity to find a position. Here are 5 reasons why teaching abroad is better than studying abroad. It’s no secret that student debt is an incredibly heavy burden for a lot of students. In the United States the national student debt...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Teaching English in China is exciting (sometimes) but teaching beginners in China can be a game-changer that is if you are up for the challenge. I mean of course if you weigh the options and if you are one of those people who are willing to compromise, learn and grow.

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences As someone of mixed heritage, I have always had an interest in learning about cultures other than the one I live in America. My father is Colombian and my mother is American, so growing up I felt obliged to learn more about the Colombian background I was fairly unfamiliar with. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Catherine P. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. I never felt satisfied with the amount of exposure I had to my Colombian heritage. My mom never learned Spanish, so around the house, it was easier for my dad to speak to my siblings and me in English. As a result, we barely grazed the surface of the Spanish language and we were not exposed too much to the...  [Read more]

Linda Dunsmore Alumni Experiences My teaching experience began in a whirlwind. I graduated from college a semester ahead of my class, married, lived with my husband in my sister’s basement for two months, and moved to South Korea. We had no idea what to expect. Sure, we’d read the blogs, talked to the director of our school, and even talked with people we know who had lived and taught in Korea. It still didn’t fully prepare us for what to expect, how amazing it would be, and how hard. We lived in South Korea for 19 months teaching three through seven year olds daily and first through third graders several times each week. This post was written by our ITTT graduate Sarah S. When we first moved to Korea, our head teacher had to teach us how to teach EFL. She had her certification...  [Read more]
