Most school teachers in the UK or Australia would kill for the students we TEFL teachers are lucky enough to have! That’s not saying all your students will be angels. Some classes will be hard to control (especially if there are 40 or 50 students!). You may have discipline problems. However, don’t let it get you down. Don’t feel negative towards your students – it may be, for example, they just get excited because they’ve...

Sometimes getting your students to talk in the classroom is like pulling teeth. We want them to talk, we love seeing how they are developing, but we can’t get past the awkward silence stage… Fortunately it doesn’t have to be this way…there are tried and tested solutions that I’d love to share with you now. If your students haven’t had a warm up, chances are that they haven’t even spoken a word of English for...

But they asked to talk with me, they wanted to pay me to come to a english club that they have. I am already teaching 9 classes per week. After talking for a short time they said it would...

Making Rain
This was an introduction class. Three teachers including myself combined classes and played team games. This is a great way to introduce yourself and let the students get to know each other as it builds confidence and team-work skills. This activity is called Making Rain, I ask the students to do different things to make the sound of rain. I will post the instructions as a comment.

How to Make the Most of Your TEFL Course Book
Teaching from a course book can get a bit stale if you don’t utilise it and inject some fun.

What’s more students (and teachers) often don’t know what extra resources are in the book to aid learning.

Group Description
Hi TEFLers!
Here at i-to-i we've decided to have a spring clean! We're hoping to merge the groups 'TEFL lesson ideas' TEFL Activities and games' and 'Teaching Ideas and Materials' together- hopefully making the site easier for everyone and providing a 'go-to' group for lesson ideas and support.
Don't worry you will be able to find the same content just shifted to the following location so feel free to join!
