Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas There are many tools a teacher of language can use to impart important aspects of the target language like grammar and vocabulary to their students. For example, writing keywords on the board from a text may be a useful way to highlight important words or key information for learners. Furthermore, worksheets can be particularly helpful with grammar exercises, allowing students a lot of repetition and free-hand practice with the language point. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Levi L. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. However, every tool has a varying degree of success, and even more so, has a varying degree of practical application. In this essay, an unusual ‘tool’...  [Read more]

Federico Riva Teaching Ideas Many of us, who have had the opportunity to learn a new language have this exciting memory of learning a non-native language even though it could have been just a word or eventually mastering the language itself but, till date have that in our memory bank and access it as and when necessary. In many cases it often beings with a song where we pick up a few words when we are listing to it and slowly try to build up our vocabulary and potentially develop an interest in learning that new language. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Nagashree C. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT.

Kimberley Dale Visa and Legal TEFL Information We often get asked what the secret to acing a TEFL application is. Is it the initial screening or the interview that is more important? We generally say both! Each step is important, but the CV stage is what gets you to the interview stage – so that is the first thing you should focus on in your application. Here are a few pointers for setting up a killer CV for your TEFL application: We know more often than not that spelling errors are exactly that: mistakes – but you have to think of it from the schools’ point of view. They have never met you before and they are hiring you for an English teaching position. So, a few spelling errors or grammar errors may give them reason to doubt your English skills. The best way to avoid these...  [Read more]

Lydia Pincott Destinations Alumni Experiences For being a fairly small country, Japan sure packs a punch for the endless amount of things to see, do, and eat! As teachers though, we aren’t living that high roller, bullet train life, yet we usually have enough days off for a decent holiday. So how do you get out and see Japan, while still having a few yennies left over for fried chicken at Family Mart? Often with transport passes in Japan, you’ll be traveling the ‘scenic route’. But during periods like summer vacation, there’s time for this. Though it takes a little longer you can enjoy stunning views of rural Japan pass by while reading, listening to a solid podcast, or sketching. The Seishun 18 Kippu is a pass that gives you unlimited travel on local JR trains for 5...  [Read more]

Linda Dunsmore Teaching Ideas Holding a summer camp can be an intimidating challenge for new and experienced teachers alike. For these kinds of English camps, teachers typically create up to 10 lesson plans for the duration of the camp. Summer camps can last anywhere between one week and a month or even longer. The main goal of an English camp is to have a fun and memorable time with the students while practicing their English.

The following games are great activities for teaching English summer camp abroad. Props will make your summer camp a lot more fun and exciting for the kids. In...  [Read more]

Federico Riva TEFL Information Teaching Ideas Here we're going to consider the use of visual aids in the classroom. Visual aids can include examples such as, real objects (which we call realia), the use of pictures and photographs and also the use of models. So let's consider some of the ideas surrounding the use of visual aids. First of all the use of a visual aid can reduce teacher talk time (TTT) which is always desirable. It is much simpler to just show a real object than to try to describe it, so that we could just ask the students, “what is this”? and they would say, “that is a pen” rather than trying to actually describe the pen. Again if we were eliciting names of fruit and vegetables, rather than to try and describe them, why not use the real thing (or a model) and this...  [Read more]

Linda Dunsmore TEFL Information “Teaching English abroad is impossible for non-native English speakers!” - This is a statement we often hear as teacher trainers around the world but it’s a huge misconception. Actually, the ratio of non-native to native English teachers around the world has sharply increased to 4 to 1 in recent years. This goes to show that the global EFL teaching market has undergone a large shift in hiring preference. With this in mind, we would like to highlight four striking advantages for non-native English teachers in the TEFL classroom. English is often taught as a mandatory foreign language around the world - and it starts at a young age in many countries. While native speakers learn the language naturally growing up, non-native English speakers have to...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Young learners and adults have different needs and goals in the classroom. Young learners want to be engaged and have rapidly changing activities while adult learners will enjoy a more serious classroom setting. It is the job of the teacher to ensure that these needs are met for both age groups. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Preston M.

Many young learners are not able to read at all or can read very little, so young learners need to be using material that is picture based. When the teacher is preparing PowerPoints for young learners, they need to...  [Read more]
