Peer learning: Is it Useful in an ESL Classroom? - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
What is peer learning and is it useful in an ESL classroom? Let's first define what is peer learning. "Peer learning essentially refers to students learning with and from each other as fellow learners without any implied authority to any individual, based on the tenet that 'Students learn a great deal by explaining their ideas to others and by participating in activities in which they can learn from their peers' (Boud, 2001)" (Gwee, 2003).

Should we teach culture in the EFL classroom? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ TEFL FAQs
Absolutely. Language is deeply intertwined with culture, serving as its vocal representation. While mastering vocabulary and grammar is crucial, to fully understand the essence of English, EFL students should immerse themselves in the culture of English-speaking nations. This entails exploring cultural facets like music, films, literature, culinary traditions, and even fashion. Incorporating cultural elements not only enriches EFL lessons but also resonates with students, making the learning process more engaging and comprehensive.
Use authentic materials
Compare two cultures
Introduce live native speakers
Use food as a tool
Use songs as a tool
