I think that as teachers, one of the most common things that we will come across in our career is dealing with challenging students. In case the behavioral problems that we are required to handle frustrate us, it would do a lot of good to take some comfort in knowing that other teachers around the globe face the same challenges. The need to handle behavior issues is one of the additional packages that are tied to the teaching profession. It is of importance to us to note that even the most experienced teachers have their fair share of managing difficult students. From power disputes and struggles among students to too many talkative students, the list of stubborn behaviors that we will have to deal with until we retire is quite lengthy. However, with a framework of how we can tackle all these issues, it is possible for us to have the upper hand over our students and hence assist ourselves in avoiding frustrations in our job. I will mention some of the best ways possible that a t...

Nowadays a teacher should be creative in using different kinds of methods for teaching a particular language. They have to choose an appropriate method to transfer the knowledge because they will find different situations and different students in class.  Generally, students would not be able to believe that they could be successful in learning language. This lack of motivation has made students do not have confidence to speak in the target language because they do not want to make mistakes. Moreover, they find difficulties to recall the previous lesson, such us memorizing the new vocabularies. This situation encourages teacher to be creative and to use an effective method on teaching. One of the most  effective methods is suggestopedia. Suggestopedia is an effective comprehensible input based method with a combination of desuggestion and suggestion to achieve super learning. The most important objective of suggestopedia is to motivate more of students’ mental pote...

Games in the process of learning a language... Do you love using games in your classroom to engage students with their learning?  I have often seen teacher use a game during a culminating activity after they have had a bit of content under their belts.  It’s a new, innovative way for students to work with the content at a different level.  They love it! What makes a good teacher? Though every individual will have a different answer, a good teacher is anyone who feels a sense of accomplishment after having taught a lesson well. This feeling only comes when you have done the best you could, and when you find that your students were engaged throughout the lesson and have learnt something new in the process. After all, teaching is an art and is certainly not everyone’s cuppa. Some teachers can make interesting lessons boring, while others can make the most mundane lessons thought-provoking! One simple and effective way to encourage learning in the classroom a...

Like many other students I have posted about different topics that were very important to us in our future as teachers, but, to be sincere the topic for today is the one I like the most. I have heard a lot about it and I am very enthusiastic about its usage in my future as a teacher.   As we know from our previous information over webinars and from the videos that we saw a webinar is an event held on the internet which is attended exclusively by an online audience. This distinguishes it from a webcast, which also includes the presence of a physical audience. Other terms used as alternatives for webinar are web event, online seminar, webcast, web lecture and virtual event.  As far as I am concerned webinars offer interactive features that the audience can use to ask questions and chat with the host. Usually Professionals use webinars to give educational presentations related to their businesses or organizations and to connect with their audiences in a much closer way....

 I have read, heard and practiced  a lot of classroom  methods but one of the most familiar to me is PBL. As soon as I read about it my whole school life came to my mind. I remember, when I was a pupil our teacher asked us to make presentations with posters about different topics, usually those related to environment. We used to make drawings and write quotes about nature and its importance, and later on make the presentations.  With the passing of time projects became as a part of us and that is the reason why I consider it as the best way to help us ameliorate in a particular subject.    To be more concrete PBL students develop deep content knowledge as well as critical thinking, creativity, and communication skills in the context of doing an authentic, meaningful project.   Many students find schoolwork meaningless because they don't perceive a need to know what they're being taught. They are unmotivated by a teacher's suggestion that they should...

As technology becomes increasingly influential in education, methods of the learning process are changing also. The teacher centered system is changing into the student centered one, and so, the process of learning is becoming easier and a better way to develop a good way of learning is dominating. One of the ways educators are using to develop a better process of learning is by flipping classrooms(through online learning).  The previous seminar that we developed was based upon online teaching and I found it very comfortable and in the same way, attractive. The way our teacher developed the lesson made me think of how good it would be if in the future I do the same thing. I became aware of the difference to traditional teaching and I, somehow created an idea of the differences between them.  While a traditional classroom is teacher-centered, a flipped classroom is student centered. How?  By taking the lecture out of the classroom and bringing homework into the clas...
