Tesol Ohio Conference

Located in the Great Lakes Region, Ohio is a wonderful destination for outdoor fun. Long before western settlers arrived, the people living in the area had left behind numerous fascinating mounds and earthworks that can still be visited today. The Great Serpent Mound, for instance, was built by early humans to keep track of the sun and solstices. Ohio’s fertile soil and favorably climate have also created a thriving eco-system that is home to a wide diversity of flora and fauna. Whatever you plan to see and do during your visit, the state of Ohio is a great destination for your next vacation.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Teaching a language seems to have its roots precisely in teaching grammar: one of the first learning methodologies in history was grammar-translation. Used to translate Greek into Latin, it was inefficient for speech development, yet it remains one of the most popular teaching methods in education. Unfortunately, even from my own experience as a student, this is the preferred teaching method and it wasn't until recently that a more interactive way of learning was introduced in schools. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Aleksandra Đ. We should ask ourselves: Is learning grammar truly necessary for learning a language? We acquire our first language without knowing any grammar whatsoever. And as grammar translation doesn't lead to...  [Read more]
