  The idiom "long arm of the law" refers to the police or authorities, for example: The long arm of the law finally caught up with the robber and the police arrested him today. Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course.

I am so appreciated that this unit gave me a great amount of online resources which are going to be too much helpful during my teaching career. Also I learnt how to use many other different types of teaching aids to make the English...  [Read more]

A form of a verb used as a noun that ends in -ing. It should be noted that this is just a general case in English. In other languages a gerund can have different forms and functions.  [Read more]

A device or software application that can produce concordances. The use of concordances within English language teaching includes things such as: 1. Collocations, which are groups of words most commonly associated with each other, 2. Finding common sentences to see how language is actually used, and 3. Checking our language against known correct forms.  [Read more]

In phonetics a dipthong can be described as a phoneme made from two adjacent vowel sounds. When a single sound is formed by beginning with one vowel and ending with another vowel, the resulting overall sound is a dipthong.  [Read more]

The constructivism theory of learning posits that all learning is constructed, each learning experience being unique to the individual and based upon their previous experiences and learned knowledge. In the classroom this translates to classes where the teacher acts as a facilitator to learning, where learning is dialogical and active and students work primarily in groups.  [Read more]

A useful tool for practicing a whole range of language features in an EFL classroom. These can easily be created in survey form and both the functions of questioning and a particular grammar structure for the answer can be covered simultaneously. They can be adapted for all levels of students and the activity of everyone moving around asking and answering questions, is referred to as a “mill drill”.  [Read more]

Generally speaking this is a list of the contents of a course. There are various ways of describing the contents of a course, which gives rise to various types of syllabus.

(See also under users) Related to Krashen’s Monitor hypothesis, where he suggests three types of monitor user: over users, optimal users and under users. The monitor functions to check what we are going to say against what we know and either allow the thought to be spoken or held back. Under users often are confused in their speech because they did not monitor their thoughts. Over users of the monitor speak erratically because of the time they are using to check their own thoughts before speaking. Optimal users get the balance right.  [Read more]

As opposed to a didactic teacher, a facilitator creates the conditions for learning within the classroom and makes use of the learners to advance knowledge. Rather than the teacher acting as the ‘knower’, and delivering knowledge, the facilitator tries where possible to elicit information from the students, thus making use of what they already know to develop ideas further.  [Read more]

Any teaching strategy that allows learners to work at a level higher than they could do alone. Initially scaffolding may be at a high level and reduced over time as learner competence increases. A similar idea to that of the zone of proximal development, in that we should always present language to our students that is, at or just beyond their current level of knowledge.  [Read more]

English Language Learner. In theory this can apply to anyone learning English, including native speakers of English. However in EFL terms, ELL refers to anyone learning English as a second or foreign language.  [Read more]

A teaching methodology created by Georgi Lozanov. Lozanov addressed the issue of affective filter, trying to reduce this for the students as much as possible. He believed that in a state of calm, helped by the use of music, that students would be more susceptible to the learning information presented to them.  [Read more]

The equivalent term to pedagogy, but applied to adults. The term originally coined in the first half of the 1800s has a few variations depending on which part of the world defines it. In the USA and mainly due to the work of Knowles it is defined as the art and science of helping adults learn.  [Read more]

Most languages have idioms and English has a large number, in the tens of thousands. They can present difficulties for language learners as they have a few strange characteristics. Firstly they are not literal. Secondly even if you know what each of the words in the idiom mean, it will not necessarily make any sense. Finally if you translate an English idiom back into your first language it will probably be nonsensical. Think about these three ideas with this English idiom. You will open a can of worms if you say that.  [Read more]

There are four generally accepted skills to be covered in learning languages: Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking. These are termed the Productive and Receptive skills. We should try to develop all four skills equally throughout our teaching. Language students tend to want to focus on speaking.  [Read more]

The chronological development and history of a word. We can use the word itself as an example: It derives from the Middle English ‘etimologie’ from Old French ‘ethimologie’ from Medieval Latin 'ethimologia' from Latin 'etymologia' and from the Greek 'etumologiā' and 'etumon' (true sense of a word): etymon -logiā -logy. From American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition.  [Read more]

Adjectives are used to describe nouns. An example could be the old (adj) chair (noun). Various sub-categories of adjective exist, such as comparative adjectives like bigger, taller and so on. Another category is superlative adjectives, i.e. biggest, tallest etc. Students should be made aware of some general rules about adjective order in a sentence.  [Read more]

Relates to the tendency to teach to an external or internal test, rather than to the students’ weaknesses. Also referred to as washback. When the outcome of a course is a final test, it is sometimes used as the basis for the teaching. Backwash can therefore interfere with the natural order and sequence of learning and can also mean that areas not on a final test are never taught.  [Read more]
