Online Pros

When comparing online TEFL certification to in-class certification, there are several factors to consider. Online courses offer flexibility and convenience, allowing you to study at your own pace from anywhere in the world. In contrast, in-class certification provides hands-on teaching practice and immediate feedback from instructors. While online courses may be more affordable, in-class programs often offer more personalized support and networking opportunities. Ultimately, the choice between online and in-class certification depends on your learning style, schedule, and career goals. One crucial aspect to consider when pursuing an online TEFL certification is the accreditation and recognition of the program. It is essential to ensure that the online course you choose is accredited by a...  [Read more]

  So, let's take a common game that's been played over the years, which is called Noughts and Crosses or Tic-Tac-Toe. What we're going to do is to adapt this game for classroom use. So, we've taken the normal Tic-Tac-Toe or Noughts and Crosses grid and we've just numbered out each of the particular squares. What we can then do is to form teams and those teams can then be asked a series of questions and they get to choose which question they want from 1 to 9. So, let's say, for example, they choose question 1. That could be on anything that they have studied ,the grammar or vocabulary. If they get that question correct and say they are the Noughts or the zeros then they get to put their mark here. What the next group will probably do is to try to block them in some way by choosing...  [Read more]

  We now consider what we might call the technology that we could use within the classroom then that could include things such as cassettes, the use of CDs, the use of DVD and video. Some general issues surrounding the use of these types of material, make sure whenever you're using any of this type of technology though you know how it actually works when using it for a listening activity, for example. How long does it take for the whole tape to play through? How long does it take to rewind and so on. Other issues that you might need to think about is if you're using a cassette player or CD or something that you set the volume level before you actually start the lesson so that when you switch on you don't shock everyone with a very loud sound or that they can't actually hear it....  [Read more]
