What it's Like to Teach English Online: An Online Teacher Reveals Her Secrets! - TEFL Blog
Gaia Oliviero
TEFL Information Teaching Ideas
Working as an ESL teacher can be difficult if you live in a Western country and you haven't undertaken a certain path during your university studies. As far as Italy is concerned, if you want to teach in a public school, you need to hold at least a Master's Degree in pedagogical studies and/or educational sciences. No matter how good an English speaker you are, you are required to own those specific degrees. If you want to teach in a private school, you have to take into account the fact that they prefer to hire native speakers – which is totally licit, to a certain extent. In addition to that, if you have no experience whatsoever in teaching in front of a class, you are basically hopeless. At that rate, you have two options: waiting... [Read more]

Zero Conditional - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
Register now & get certified to teach english abroad!
Conditionals are a fundamental part of English grammar that every teacher should know like the back of their hand. Let's take a look at the zero conditional below.
Zero conditionals are used for facts that are generally true and do not change. They refer to a general situation that always happen (for example in the rules of a game or laws of physics) if a condition is met. The condition always has the same result.
The zero conditional uses the present simple in the if clause and in the main clause.
Zero conditionals are also called "Type 0 conditionals" (general truth – general rule).
Let’s take a look at some example sentences:

Is focusing on mistakes effective?

Top Qualities To Teach Kindergarteners - TEFL Blog
Linda Dunsmore
Alumni Experiences
One of the most rewarding times of my life is my career of teaching kindergarten for the last fifteen years. These young learners bring curiosity, energy, and enthusiasm to the classroom. Five and six year olds are still accustomed to needing help, and making mistakes; therefore, they are less self-conscious and are eager to learn in order for them to become more self-reliant. My husband and I are embarking on a new adventure to Indonesia where I will be working in a school in the early childhood department. The information I learned from my TEFL course will be very useful.
Create a Cheerful Environment
Be patient, kind, encouraging and observant.
