Adapting to the Differences Between Group Teaching and One-to-One Teaching - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
Lesson planning for an individual ESL student can be successfully adapted from lesson planning for a group once the teacher recognizes the differences and similarities between teaching a group and teaching an individual in a one-to-one setting. My first teaching experience was volunteering to teach a multilingual, adult class. After the class ended, Yordanka, one of the students, approached me for private help with her English conversation skills. I kept the following concerns in mind when conducting one-to-one sessions with Yordanka. These concerns address seven issues: student needs, student talk versus teacher talk time, trust between teacher and student, scheduling, lesson duration, the timing of lesson elements, and supplies.

Where can I teach English abroad? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ TEFL FAQs

For some teachers the history and culture of Europe appeals most, while others are drawn to exotic destinations across Asia or Latin America. However, before you book your plane tickets you need to be aware that the requirements for foreign teachers vary greatly from one country to the next and these may limit your options. You should do plenty of research on whether any of the following issues apply to your chosen destination.
In some cases, language schools are restricted to only hiring teachers who hold citizenship of a native English speaking country. These are generally considered to be the USA,... [Read more]
Should I get a TEFL or TESOL certification? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
If you enroll on a TEFL or TESOL certification course with ITTT you get to decide which acronym you have printed on your certificate. Either TEFL or TESOL is fine as they are used interchangeably throughout much of the English language teaching world. However, if you have a clear plan as to where you want to work, it is worth doing a bit of research to see which of the two is more commonly used in your chosen destination. If most employers are asking for TEFL qualified teachers in their job adverts then it makes sense to go with that option, and vice versa if TESOL certificates are more common.
