What is the Schengen Area in Europe and how does it affect TEFL teachers? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ TEFL FAQs
The Schengen Area, significant for those teaching English in Europe, encompasses 27 countries and hosts a population exceeding 400 million. Established in 1985, its primary goal was the elimination of border controls, facilitating seamless movement between member nations. Contrary to some beliefs, the Schengen Area is distinct from the European Union, representing a separate agreement. In its pre-Schengen days, travelers, including TEFL teachers, had to present passports at each border for entry stamps. Today, thanks to the Schengen agreement, there is an unhindered flow from one member country to another.

Punishment in the Classroom: Is it Correct or Not? - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
Since we should appraise students, we should punish them as well. I do not believe that the decision of whether or not to punish is up to us. Therefore, discipline is a key to success for both teachers and students. Thus, once we deal with a bad conduct case, there are strategies to use to overcome it.

Why Classroom Management Matters - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
This essay will focus on a few effective and ineffective strategies as well as my plan to incorporate these strategies to promote an organized classroom. My greatest fear is a large unruly class that interferes with my ability to teach. As the product of two parents who were public school educators, I understand the importance of integrating proven classroom management strategies. Without these tools, students will not be focused and may not absorb lessons as intended. As such, maintaining the attention of students will require skill and patience but once mastered, an effective learning environment will be the result. I look forward to working with students and maintaining an engaging space that is open, encouraging, and inspirational.

The Importance of Evaluation and Testing in an Educational System - TEFL Blog
Mark Crocker
Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas
Although evaluation and testing are considered to be a 'necessary evil' by some teachers and students, it is quite absurd to call them so. Evaluation and testing should never be seen as 'evil', although they are certainly 'necessary' within a properly functioning educational system. It can be argued that no serious study is possible without evaluation and testing as they are surely the best way of judging the capabilities and progress of a student, and a serious motivation for reaching new goals.

Accreditation involves an external validation procedure, in which an authorized entity (like a university) scrutinizes the full course delivery and determines if it fulfills a predefined criteria set for that certificate level. Accreditation is usually granted once for a specific course and may require updating if there are substantial changes in the course or its content.
