Three Strategies For Teachers to Work on Confidence - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
One of the most important traits a teacher can bring into the classroom is confidence. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary Confidence is "a feeling or consciousness of one's powers or reliance on one's circumstances" and " faith or belief that one will act in a right, the proper, or efficient way". When a teacher is confident in the classroom it will help create a more relaxed and trusting environment.
Personal Experience
Strategy One: Self-Development
Strategy Two: Preparation
Strategy Three: Feedback

What are TEFL standards? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ TEFL FAQs
The concept of TEFL standards can apply to several distinctive aspects of English language instruction and training. We will delve into some of these in more detail below.
Types of regulation: Accreditation and moderation
Types of certificate: Levels and entry standards
Types of course
Accreditation and moderation are two terms that are often mistaken as interchangeable, but they are quite different.

Accreditation is usually granted once for a specific course and may require updating if there are substantial changes in the course or its content.

Key Ways to Motivate Students from Young Learners to Adults - TEFL Blog
Jon ITTT
Alumni Experiences
As we all know, motivation is a core aspect of teaching and learning a language. Lack of motivation is perhaps the biggest obstacle that we face as students and teachers. If a student lacks motivation, he/she will not pay attention in the class or will simply find it boring. At the same time if a teacher lacks motivation to teach he/she will be unable to attract students' attention and give them all they need.

In this article I divide students into several categories because different situations require different approaches.
