This presentation is going to focus on the ESA methodology of teaching.

Should we teach culture in the EFL classroom? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT TEFL & TESOL
Put simply, language is a verbal expression of culture which means that culture clearly has to be seen as an important part of language learning. Although it is important to learn the vocabulary and grammar of English during lessons, to truly grasp what the language means to native speakers it is vital that EFL students learn as much as possible about the culture of English speaking nations. The good news is that students generally love learning about cultural issues, whether it is music, films, books, and TV, or other things such as food or fashion. So, how can we incorporate culture into our EFL lessons to make them interesting and productive?
Authentic materials can be anything that native English speakers might use that can be adapted for use in an EFL classroom. This type of material... [Read more]

What does a TEFL course teach you? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT TEFL & TESOL
Although it is theoretically possible to teach the English language without any form of training or qualifications, something that was quite common in years gone by, it is now almost universally accepted that the ability to speak a language has little bearing on an individual’s ability to teach it effectively to others.

So what does a TEFL course actually teach you?
The mere mention of English grammar is often enough to strike fear into the hearts of potential EFL teachers. Ask any native... [Read more]

Classroom Management For Teaching English As A Foreign Language Writing On The Board - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
One of the major ideas here when writing on the board, is that we need to be aware that whenever we're using the board to write down information, we should not be talking and whenever we are talking we should not be writing on the board. This will inevitably lead to what's known as dead time when nothing is being said as we're putting information on the board. This dead time is not a problem but we can actually minimize it by using a number of techniques. We could use pre-prepared material. So we put information onto large pieces of paper and then instead of writing on the board, we actually stick those materials onto the board as we go through the class. Another idea is to actually ask students to write on the board for you. Another thing is that we could actually put work up... [Read more]

Tefl testimonials - English Grammar Overview Parts Of Speech Worksheet - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
Here are some tips on completing your parts of speech worksheet. When providing examples for each part of speech, five one-word answers will suffice for almost all of them. However, we'll need to clarify this for the gerunds. This is basically due to the fact that what you've written can either be used as the main verb in a sentence, that would be the present participle, or can be used as the gerund. For example the word "playing" wouldn't be enough, as it can be used both as the verb or the gerund. So, an example sentence such as "I like playing poker." would suffice rather than simply the word "playing".
