  This video covers the difference between 'advice' and 'advise'. As these two words have a similar pronunciation and spelling, their usage is often confused. In fact, the two words are both are from the same word stem but 'advice' is the noun and 'advise' is the verb. Therefore, their usages are not the same. 'Advice' refers to a proposal for an appropriate course of action. Please give us some advice about planning a trip to France. In this example, we use 'advice' because it is the noun. When we want to describe the action of giving advice or offering a suggestion, we use the verb, or 'advise' spelled with an 's'. A good example would be: I advised them to visit the Pyramids of Giza when they are in Egypt. Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section...  [Read more]

To work in heritage language schools as a TESOL teacher, certain qualifications and requirements must be met. Typically, a TESOL teacher should have a bachelor's degree in English, linguistics, or education, as well as a TESOL certification such as a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) or a CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults). Some heritage language schools may also require teachers to have a master's degree in TESOL or a related field. Additionally, prior teaching experience, especially in multicultural or multilingual settings, is often preferred by heritage language schools. Heritage language schools cater to students who have a connection to a particular culture or language, either through family heritage or personal interest. TESOL teachers in these...  [Read more]

One of the primary challenges that TEFL teachers may face while teaching abroad is understanding and navigating cultural differences. Each country has its own unique cultural norms, values, and communication styles that can greatly impact the teaching and learning process. It's essential for TEFL teachers to familiarize themselves with the cultural practices of the country they are teaching in to avoid misunderstandings and miscommunications in the classroom. This may involve learning about traditional customs, societal hierarchies, religious beliefs, and even non-verbal cues that can vary significantly from one culture to another. Another significant challenge for TEFL teachers is overcoming language barriers, both in terms of communicating with students and delivering effective language...  [Read more]

Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) and Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) are certifications that qualify individuals to teach English to non-native speakers. While TESOL is more commonly used in North America and focuses on teaching English to non-native speakers in English-speaking countries, TEFL is the preferred term internationally and is used by teachers around the world. Both certifications involve training on language teaching methodologies, classroom management, and lesson planning. When considering teaching English in remote locations, there are several factors to take into account. Firstly, access to resources such as internet connectivity and teaching materials may be limited. Additionally, cultural differences and language barriers may present...  [Read more]

ESA: A Teaching Methodology For many years Teachers of English have used the PPP model of Presentation, Practice and Production for the preferred model of teaching. It has worked well. The PPP model falls short however, in that it does not work well when teaching more complex language problems beyond the sentence level or when teaching communicative skills. Jeremy Harmer in How to Teach English (Longman Publishing 1998) proposed an alternative to PPP called ESA: Engage, Study, and Activate. In an article written in The Guardian Weekend, March 15 1997, Bridget Riley complained about the treatment she and her fellow students received at the Royal College of Art. “We were abandoned when what we needed and what we hoped for was help toward independence in teaching rather than having...  [Read more]
