TEFL Barcelona - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ TEFL Spain ▷ combined course
Barcelona is simply a magnificent city that offers a wide variety of things to do and sights to see. As the second city in Spain, you would expect to find a huge bustling metropolis. However, with a population of just two million, Barcelona offers a disproportionate range of entertainment, arts and culture, while remaining small enough to access all parts of the city easily.
You will never be without things to see or do during your TEFL course in Barcelona. Tapas evenings, cafè crawls, sailing trips, skiing, windsurfing, wine tasting and beautiful beaches - we can arrange just about anything. Barcelona also boasts an outstanding nightlife that rivals the very best that the Mediterranean coast has to offer.

"Since" is used with a starting point or a time or date. It refers to something that started in the past and continues until now. "Since" is mostly used with the present perfect and perfect progressive tense.

Register now & get certified to teach english abroad!
Knowing when and when not to capitalize is an important part of writing correct English. Most students quickly learn that you always capitalize the first letter of a new sentence, but what are the other rules?

Below, we take a look at the differences so you can use (and teach!) these words correctly and with confidence.

Words to Use Instead of "Very" - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
Register now & get certified to teach english abroad!
In English, "very" is used extensively as an adverb to emphasize that something is of a high degree or intensity. However, there are many single words that can be used to say the same thing more effectively.
When speaking or writing English you can make better use of the language and impress the listener/reader by using individual descriptive words rather than using “very” to show a high degree or intensity.
For example:
Instead of saying “My friend and I took a ride on the roller coaster and we were very afraid”
Say “My friend and I took a ride on the roller coaster and we were terrified”
Instead of saying “I was very nervous about taking my English exam”
Say “I was apprehensive about taking... [Read more]
How to Use Learners’ Internal Motivation - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
Motivating students is always a challenge and can, in fact, be one of the most difficult parts of education. There are countless ways to either encourage or intimidate a student into completing their work or participating in class but these external motivators have a limited effect. Encouragement and praise may only motivate a student while they are seated in the classroom. A teacher expressing disappointment on an uncompleted assignment may only encourage the student to avoid the subject or course work altogether. One of the best ways I have found for motivating students is to find a student's internal motivation.

Interesting Outdoor Activities English Teachers Can Use - TEFL Blog

Teaching Ideas
Let us imagine. How if English teachers only conduct English lessons inside the class? Will the students have fun all the time? Many English teachers reflect on that so, in reality, they try to conduct English lessons not only inside the class but also outside the class. They think that conducting English lessons outside is also needed and important. Therefore, English teachers use some outdoor activities to help when teaching English. By doing so, English teachers believe that they can help their students to increase motivation. They also believe that outdoor activities can give students fun and joy. Here are some interesting activities that English teachers can use to teach English outside the class.
