Group Dynamics I have always been fascinated by social dynamics and how they affect groups in personal and professional contexts. A teacher must be constantly aware of group dynamics while teaching. The teacher is not, however, merely exporting language information-grammatical structures, vocabulary, etc-but also acts in a role model capacity. This translates into how the teacher presents materials and engages the class. While researching for this essay, I stumbled across an article titled, Teacher Identity as Pedagogy: Towards a Field-Internal Conceptualisation in Bilingual and Second Language Education. The article explores using the teacher’s personal identity as a ‘field-internal’ teaching tool, as a way to teach students a language, but also excite collaborative skills in...  [Read more]

Teaching English to young learners, typically aged 3 to 12 years old, can be a rewarding experience. Young learners are like sponges, absorbing new information quickly and easily. They are also generally more open to trying new things and making mistakes, which is essential for language learning. However, teaching young learners can also be challenging as they have shorter attention spans and may struggle with abstract concepts. Therefore, it is crucial for teachers to use a variety of engaging activities, such as songs, games, and hands-on projects, to keep young learners motivated and interested in learning English. Teaching English to teenagers, usually aged 13 to 18 years old, comes with its own set of advantages and challenges. Teenagers are at a stage in their lives where they are...  [Read more]

Most TEFL courses and language schools are geared towards teaching students in groups, so many teachers find it difficult to adapt there skills to one to one teaching. Many, perhaps most, of the personal and pedagogical skills we have developed as language teachers relate almost exclusively to working with groups. It has been suggested that most students prefer one to one teaching as opposed to being taught as a group. For teachers it can prove very challenging, as expectations tend to be high from the students...  [Read more]
