Mark Crocker Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas Humans are social animals. Throughout history, we've always evolved in communities and societies, where individuals relate with others by affiliating themselves to different groups. They are then integrated into a complex social network, whose members often have a strong impact on each other.

These dynamics also play an important role in the classroom, thus it is essential that the teacher understands them in order to create a productive synergy between themselves and their students.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Learning a new language is a collaborative effort between students and teachers, and while students may have different levels of motivation to learn, a teacher can and should develop the skills needed to adapt to ensure the student can retain the most knowledge possible. Teachers should have the flexibility to adapt instruction based on student personal factors such as age, cultural impacts, and prior student experience with English. Teachers also have the ability and responsibility to adjust instruction based on classroom limitations or to take advantage of all available resources. Finally, teachers need to be flexible enough to take an objective look at the effectiveness of their instruction and adjust as necessary to ensure best practices continue...  [Read more]

Federico Riva TEFL Information Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas The role of the teacher has experienced many shifts throughout the history of education. In a general sense, teachers in the past were more looked upon as glorified babysitters than educators. It was completely normal and acceptable for teachers in the past to follow a set lesson plan for all students. They would not try to accommodate specific individual student needs, and if students were to fall behind, it was just seen as that student was not smart enough to keep up with the class. Nowadays, the role of teachers has shifted towards adaptable teaching as well as nurturing healthy relationships with students in order to help them find success.

The rationale behind planning TEFL lessons is a crucial aspect to consider because it shapes the content of our lesson plans. We plan lessons for several reasons such as: i) To provide a structure to our lessons ii) To provide a record of what has been taught iii) To easily cross reference against any syllabus requirements of the course being taught The latter two points aid in ensuring we meet all the course requirements by providing a comprehensive record of lessons conducted. The first point, providing structure, is arguably the most crucial as it maps out the expected course of the lesson. Before delving into an actual plan, we should ponder on the kind of information we need to document in the plan. A lesson plan isn't meant to be a verbatim script but should include information...  [Read more]
