Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Are there alternatives to punishment? In this essay, we will explore what punishment sought to achieve within a classroom environment versus its applicability when seeking alternatives.

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences The activity of any teacher necessarily has its own style. This is a permanent set of techniques that manifests itself with varying degrees of intensity depending on the situation. The stylistic pedagogical activity depends on several factors, both on the activity itself and on the students. The style is very much due to the individual characteristics of the teacher’s personality. There are five main types of teaching styles. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Ekaterina V. The first one is called “The Authority style”. The teacher considers his students as objects of influence, and not equal partners in the activity. For this reason, the teacher separates himself both from the educational team and from each student...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Oftentimes in a classroom, the burden of managing a classroom is assumed to fall squarely on the shoulders of the teacher. The teacher is viewed as the source of knowledge through which students can learn and it is thus the responsibility of the teacher to share this knowledge in a manner that is both appealing, digestible, and feasible. Teachers may find themselves viewing students as potential obstacles to this role, as they must find a way to coax students into learning and taking part without disrupting a lesson.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas The word "discipline" generally carries a negative connotation. When people think of "discipline," they imagine an old-fashioned schoolhouse and a teacher smacking students with a ruler. This is not the sort of discipline anyone would encourage in today's school environment. Children often think of discipline as a teacher yelling, and they imagine how nice it would be to be able to do whatever they like. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Caroline W. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. In reality, a certain amount of discipline is necessary to achieve learning goals, and a class without any discipline is as likely to be miserable for the students as for the teacher.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas First impressions can be a daunting topic for many, as they will generally set the tone for the rest of a relationship and can be hard to revert. These first impressions will not only be key toward the ease of establishing rapport with someone but also toward what the other party will expect of you in order to maintain an amicable relationship from then on.

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences All education and training incline to feature discipline, whether it is training for a pilot, or conveyance of social behavior in kindergarten, or higher education in social sciences, or guidance in a leisurely activity such as white water rafting. Further yet the toughest disciplining of people in every civilization has been in the military. Civilization coincides with the advent of discipline, by which men have been able to distinguish civilized from primitive people. The most authority believes in disciplining the subject by submerging it to a set of rules. If the subject does not subordinate to the given doctrines, authority threatens with punishment. Fear of losing control over the subject is apparent all over the authoritative sphere. In this...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences The relationship a teacher has with their students or clients is critical to their learning experience. It is often overlooked and deemed unimportant, especially compared to the lesson itself. However, the rapport a teacher establishes is the foundation on which the class stands. It affects how the students feel about the class and sometimes helps motivate them as well. Good rapport with the students makes teaching a lot livelier and learning a lot easier. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Katherine S. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. In the hierarchy of the classroom, the teacher is at the top. Students come to take a course, expecting the teacher to know best and...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences My experience in teaching English to young learners is based in Japan. At the start of my time teaching, my student group consisted of two children of the same family. The siblings are a boy, age five, and a girl, age three, who participate equally in the English conversation sessions. Three main factors of this situation present difficult walls, preventing forward progress. Those three factors are distracting objects, counter-productive classroom philosophies, and personality conflicts. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Brandon F. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. First, the English conversation takes place in the children's home and playroom which is full of toys....  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas 7 years ago, when I was just starting my career as a teacher, I asked myself: what my role as a teacher is.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas I cannot recall, at any time in my primary school years in Tunisia (1986-1993), a student is allowed to speak in class. It may be an exaggeration that students were not even allowed to ask permission to leave the classroom to follow the call of nature. In this narrative, It seems that these educational representations refer instead to a traditional image of child education—the child should submit to the authority of the adult and must comply with his or her standards and dictates.

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Discipline is an important aspect of any classroom working with younger students. I currently work at a middle school, and discipline is foundational to creating an inclusive, welcoming classroom environment. Adolescents at this stage are typically very confrontational towards authority and are testing the waters to what they can get away with, or disobey their teachers. I’ve noticed that teachers who set strict rules at the beginning of the year, tend to have an easier time maintaining authority in the classroom and keeping students engaged.
