Linda Dunsmore TEFL Information Teaching Ideas While you learn about teaching multi-level classrooms when you take a TESOL or TEFL certification course, the reality often looks a little different.

While motivation and desire to learn are factors in each student's success, a good teacher should be able to inspire motivation through interesting and student-centered lessons.

The activities provided in this graphic allow students to use English in ways that areinteresting, fun and relevant to their needs as business English learners. In ‘Negotiations’ students get to role-play a negotiation between two sides, earning points for each success they have in negotiating with the other side. Telephone role-plays are a great way to practice speaking to another person without the non-verbal clues that usually assist face-to-face communication. Comparison information gap activities are good for getting students to use English to find out particular information they need from another person, an important communicative skill needed by many business English learners. Arranging meetings is a good activity for practicing phone skills...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences In the past few years, teaching English as a second language on the internet has gained a lot of reputation for English teachers around the world. The convenience of only needing a stable internet connection and a computer to go to work sounds far more pleasing than going to a school or other institution to teach a couple of hours per day. Additionally, online teaching provides opportunities for English teachers to travel to new destinations while still being able to work as a freelancer. Consequently, teaching English to children online, in different parts of the world, must be one of the most rewarding aspects of the job. However, many obstacles need to be overcome to be a successful English teacher for children online. Hence, these will be...  [Read more]

Jon ITTT TEFL Information Business English falls under the umbrella of English for Specific Purposes (ESP), and is an area of English language teaching that focuses on the language students need in order to function in an international business setting. It is a popular sector for qualified TEFL teachers to work in and one that can be financially rewarding.

Linda Dunsmore Alumni Experiences The main reason for doing this TEFL course was to improve my teaching skills and to use them to teach business English. Even though I studied business and economics, I cannot know everything in this field or other fields like hotel management or IT. But I can help my students to improve their vocabulary and to speak more fluently at meetings. It is important in the beginning that we ask our students what they would like to improve and why they decided to take special business English classes. Based on their needs we can provide a high-level class, tailored to their needs. Design the lessons in a way that nobody feels uncomfortable. Students who decide to take private lessons are highly motivated. Are you ready to take a TEFL course? Related Articles:...  [Read more]

Joanna Dineva Teaching Ideas Like it or not, ready or not, English is the global language of business.

Do you want to issue certificates to your students? Over the years, ITTT has focused on providing quality training to future TEFL and TESOL teachers, preparing them to teach English as a foreign language. We have been asked by a number of course graduates if, as qualified ITTT teachers, they can award certificates independently to the students they teach. ITTT has addressed this by providing certificates that graduates can issue to their students. These certificates, which can be purchased in packs of 10, 25, 50 or 100, allow the teacher to fill in the student’s name, class level and the number of hours of study, and are signed by the graduate. Each certificate is uniquely numbered, with a place on the certificate to enter the teacher’s ITTT certification number. Your students can...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas What outdoor activities can help to teach English? I would like to say that there are plenty of outdoor activities that are effective to teach English. However, many teachers prefer indoor activities rather than outdoor, as they think that it might distract the students. Nonetheless, outdoor activities can increase their motivation for learning. Also, it helps to decrease their stress level, as they do not have to stay in the classroom as usual.

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Handling a large classroom is a task that many teachers must face eventually, so it is important to be able to know how to effectively instruct a class that is a size above average.
