Tefl reviews - Theories Methods Techniques Of Teaching Nature Vs Nurture - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
This presentation is going to focus on the theories, methods and techniques of teaching and we're going to start with a quote. This is an interesting quotation because it contains within it a philosophical argument and it's a philosophical argument in the way in which we learn.

What are TEFL acronyms? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT TEFL & TESOL
Acronyms are an essential tool used in all professions and technical writing. They are powerful tools to reduce word content.

ELL: English Language Learner. This is a general term for anyone learning English and applies to learners of English who are native or non-native English speakers.

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. This change of attitude among school directors and education departments has led to the development of TEFL certification courses that are designed to give native and non-native English speakers the skills and knowledge they require to provide effective language instruction to their future students. 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]
