The tips about the first day of class seem obvious but are often overlooked. Establishing rapport with the students on day one sets the tone for how the rest of the classes will be. By warming up to the students and by warming them up with activities the students will have more energy and be more confident in learning English. I particularly liked how this unit explained how to deal with students who...  [Read more]

I learnt to slowly identify actions completed by a certain future time versus how long something continues by a future time.

For example, \"future simple\" used for predictions without present evidence but \"be going+infinitive\" used for predictions which are based on present evidence.

You could also be interested in: This is how our TEFL graduates feel they have gained from their course, and how they plan to put into action what they learned: said: I think the biggest thing I took away from this unit was the importance for minimizing TTT, and realizing that unless dealing with an advanced class, listening to a teacher talk on end provides as much if not more of a challenge than any piece of work that might be given. No matter how charismatic or entertaining, constant lecturing by a teacher will get monotonous, and given the fact that it is probably a struggle to comprehend everything that is being said for most students, even with the use of...  [Read more]
