Conditionals are an important part of English grammar. Take a look at the following explanation to learn how to use the second conditional correctly.

Conditionals are an important part of English grammar. Take a look at the following explanation to learn how to use the first conditional correctly.

Why Complete a TEFL Course? - A TEFL Graduate Explains - TEFL Blog
Linda Dunsmore
Alumni Experiences
Why complete a TEFL course? For me there was never a question, never a doubt on why I should complete this TEFL course. I want to be the best teacher possible and with the help of the TEFL course, I know I can achieve my goals.
Not everyone learns from being placed in front of a classroom and judged.
The TEFL course knows it is meant to be a strong guideline for success and not a rule of absolute law.

Tefl reviews - Coursebooks And Materials/resource Books Part 1 - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
The next item that we're going to consider is the use of resource books. There are many different types of resource books available and within those books there tends to be a general pattern and typically the resource book pack will come in a three book series and typically that three book series will be in the form of the student book, a workbook and a teacher's resource book. So for example here are those three books for this particular series called ?Total English? and in the student book the type of information that we can gain from here is the actual background to the teaching points themselves plus some additional information in terms of short worksheets and so on and so forth and tape transcripts at the end for listening activities, which these days often come on a CD rather...

Do you confuse the two words "so" and "such"? This article will explain the differences clearly with helpful examples.

They're vs. Their - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
Register now & get certified to teach english abroad!
Their and they’re sound the same in English and it is a common mistake to mix them up, even for native English speakers. However they have very different meanings.
THEY’RE – Basic Explanation
THEY’RE = THEY ARE
They’re is a contraction of they are.
THEIR – Basic Explanation
THEIR = a possessive adjective. It shows possession, that something belongs to some people you are not talking to right now.
Examples of other possessive adjectives are MY, YOUR, HIS, and HER:
My car, your car, his car, her car, their car.
THEIR is also used for a group of two or more people that are not with you right now.
The noun after their can refer to a thing (or person) that these people have.

The Factors Influencing a Foreign Language Acquisition - TEFL Blog

Alumni Experiences
What does it mean to learn a language? Generally, when we talk about learning a language, we mean a process that starts with a person not knowing a language but ends up knowing it, regardless of the number of languages a person might already know. Of course, this is an overly simplified definition, but it gives us a decent starting point. So why are our experiences and the mental image of acquiring our first language so different from one of learning a foreign language? In this essay, I will consider the perceived difference between first and second language acquisition.
