Review From Tefl Student Scott - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
Scott is from the United States and learned a lot during his in-class training course in Prague. This is his TESOL review. He thinks the trainers are very helpful and go an extra mile for helping out the trainees achieve their goals. His favorite part of the course was teaching young children and seeing them improve quickly. One of the more challenging parts of the course for him was taking a test on the phonetic alphabet. He enjoys Prague so much that he decided to stay and teach English in the Czech Republic. He feels ready to start his adventure and teach abroad.

TEFL vs TESOL - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
The generally recognized acronym for the field of teaching English is ELT which simply means:
English Language Teaching.
Within this huge field there are a number of specialisms. One such specialism is the teaching of English to learners for whom English is not their first language. Three common acronyms that are often used when applied to this scenario are TEFL, TESL and TESOL.
By defining the terms we will show that the idea of comparing one versus the other, i.e. “TEFL vs TESOL” is not particularly useful. So what do they mean?
When the English teaching is to non native speakers and takes place in a country where the first language is not English. Examples would be teaching English in Peru or teaching English in Taiwan.
TESL applies when teaching English to non native speakers in a... [Read more]

3 Reasons Why Lesson Plan Will Make Your Teaching Less Stressful and Frustrating - TEFL Blog

Lesson planning has always been the backbone of my lessons. I believe that to be successful in anything you need to plan, especially with projects or goals that are complex and time-consuming. As a teacher, I want to do everything I can to give my students every advantage possible, and that requires preparation and planning. Lesson planning is an essential part of teaching in a classroom and is the key to being an effective educator.
What can a lesson plan give you?
1. Achieve your goals

3 Ways to Overcome Stressful Situations in The Classroom
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
A classroom is a place where most individuals engage in attaining new information and interacting with others for a particular purpose. Stress, one of the major causes of various illnesses, can arise from both the teacher and the students within the classroom. Often times, when the stress level rises, the level of interest in the task ahead is usually reduced and the task remains undone or the individual simply quits. This end result can, however, be avoided as the purpose for learning in to eventually gain a greater understanding of the information being taught. The essay will, therefore, focus on ways to overcome stressful situations in a classroom.
