Kings Day Celebration

  In this video Linda breaks down the difference between "everyday" and "every day". Due to their spelling, it can be quite hard for non-native English learners to understand the difference between the two. This video explains exactly how to differenciate between both expressions. Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching. This convenient, highly structured design means that you can quickly get to grips with each section before moving onto the next. As a teacher you should be more aware and considerate of your student and you should be more observant than focusing on your own...  [Read more]

The second video demonstrates how a teacher's attitude, use of gestures and images, and interaction with students can greatly improve the students' experience and understanding of a lesson. The first video gives examples of mistakes a teacher can make, primarily issues of poor direction and a lack of engagement with the students, whether it is through not knowing their names, talking at...  [Read more]

I am aware that those are probably the 3 most difficult units to teach to students that are below the upper intermediate level of English learning. When you live in a non english speaking country, it can be very difficult to know exactly when to use the conditionals or the reported speech, so it is going to be a good challenge for me...  [Read more]

You need to have a plan of what you will be doing in class before you get there. They serve as records for knowing what you taught in the past and they help to guide where you are going. It is important that your lesson plan is flexible and you don?t hold on to it like a crutch. You need should write your lesson plan in a style that fits you and make sure you can quickly glance at it to see how you are doing and how much more you have to do. The most...  [Read more]

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: This unit talks about course books and how they should be used/supplemented. This was another area that seemed outdated to me (casettes?), but I know that textbooks are still a vital part of day to day classroom operations. It also seemed to be repeating a lot of information, such as authentic and created materials. I don't think I'll have much of a choice about what textbook I use, but it is useful to think about what kinds of activities I might use from it as well as additional activities I create...  [Read more]

When we read or listen, we can employ certain specialist skills to gather and understand the information such as predictive skills, scanning, skimming, detailed information, deduction from context.

To ensure proper understanding and distinctions between similar structures, the unit also briefly reintroduces present simple and present continuous tenses.

I think the most useful things from this section were the example test and the list of external tests. I am surprised the unit didn't spend more time on flaws with testing. When I taught in Japan, all the tests were dictated by the prefecture, not the...  [Read more]

By comparing these two videos (really low quality I have to say), we can obviously choose what kind of teacher we want to be, and the answer of course is the second one. If we want to be the ideal one then we have to be always ready for our class and be confident to deliver a high quality interactive class. Meanwhile a teacher's attitude can influence the class atmosphere directly, which was proven in these two videos...  [Read more]
