York St John Tesol

  John is from New Zealand but is teaching English in China. In this TESOL review, he shares her experience of taking the ITTT 120-hour TEFL course with ITTT. He thought the course was very thorough but still easy to follow. A TEFL certificate is a requirement to teach English in China, so he recommends this course to anyone who wants to teach in China.  [Read more]

Often quoted as the father of experiential education, Dewey’s idea that learning is about experiences led to the paradigm shift towards progressive education. Here learners are active, not passive recipients. In terms of EFL teaching, methodologies that were student-centered and participatory, using communication in an active way are all developments from Dewey’s initial ideas.  [Read more]

John B. Watson was among the first to describe the process of classical behaviorism. His now controversial experiment conducted with R. Raynor and child subject ‘Little Albert’ showed that the child could be conditioned to exhibit a previously non-existent phobia after being “conditioned” through negative stimulus.  [Read more]

  New York is one of the most famous states in the entire USA. Not only does it feature one of the most exciting and vibrant cities on earth, it is also blessed with unbelievable natural scenery. ‘The Empire State’ is also rich in history and has greatly influenced the North America we know today. New York saw waves of mass immigration in the 19th century with millions of people coming to America from all over Europe and Asia. Over 10 million people entered the US through New York City’s Ellis Island alone. Still today, the state of New York is one of the most ethnically diverse places in the country. Upstate New York is especially beautiful with many forests, lakes and mountains. It is a perfect destination at any time of year, and a wonderland for outdoor lovers. Lake George...  [Read more]

As the biggest city in the united states, New York’s influence stretches far beyond its home country’s borders to regions all around the globe. Indeed its influence can be felt in finance, commerce, media, entertainment and fashion, while its importance on the world stage is embodied by its role as headquarters of the United Nations. On a more local level there are a seemingly never ending number of things to see and do in the city and it is a fantastic place to take your TEFL/TESOL certificate course. Although originally settled by Europeans 400 years ago, it was not until major upheavals back in Europe in the middle of the 1800’s that New York City really started to grow in size and influence. The city’s population swelled with immigrants flooding in from Ireland escaping the...  [Read more]

These terms are commonly used in English language teaching to refer to periods during a lesson where the class is either teacher centred or student centred, as well as the relative importance of each situation. Times during the lesson where the teacher is the only person talking, such as when presenting vocabulary or grammar structures, are often referred to as ‘teacher talking time’. In contrast, sections of the lesson where the students are the ones doing the talking, such as when practising new language they have learnt in the lesson, are often referred to as ‘student talking time’. The relative importance of these two situations is a source of some debate in English language teaching, however, modern methodologies often lean towards more STT, providing this time is spent in a...  [Read more]

The land that gave us Plato and Aristotle, also bequeathed us the symposium, or drinking party. The latter still being alive and well today. These days Greece is a country that pivots around its huge tourist industry, and this falls into two types: There are those who come seeking the cultural experience to be gained from visiting ancient monuments, like the Acropolis in smoggy Athens, and there are those who like to party it up on the island resorts. Perfection, as Aristotle observed, resides between extremes, and the person who seeks eudaemonia - the good life in the best of all possible worlds - perhaps does a bit of both. Given the tourist orientation of the country it is important to remember that a good deal of the services laid on to support visitors go into hibernation between...  [Read more]

Take your TESOL Course in London, England and experience the excitement, culture and history of England's capital and most famous city. London is an ancient city whose history greets you at every turn. To gain a sense of its continuity, stand on Waterloo Bridge at sunset. To the east, the great globe of St. Paul's Cathedral glows golden in the fading sunlight as it has since the 17th century, still majestic amid the modern towers of glass and steel that hem it in. To the west stand the mock-medieval ramparts of Westminster, home to the "Mother of Parliaments," which has met here or hereabouts since the 1250s. Past them both snakes the swift, dark Thames, following the same course as when it flowed past the Roman settlement of Londinium nearly 2,000 years ago. If the city contained only its...  [Read more]

Singapore is the world’s only island city-state and is located on the tip of the Malay Peninsula in Southeast Asia. The city was founded as a British trading post by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1819 and continues to be an important center or global trade and investment today and it is one of the original “Asian Tigers” alongside Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan. A population of over five and a half million people lives side-by-side on an area of 277 square miles and sixty-three islands. Although the city is highly urbanized, with the majority of people living in high-rise apartment buildings, the government’s “Garden City” policy has created beautiful tree-lined street and there are plenty of green spaces to enjoy. Singapore has a long history of immigration, with the British...  [Read more]

Mighty big place, Partner. As Ferdinand Braudel, the great French historian observed, ‘the land dictates the people’, and it is a good idea never to stray too far from this theme. If you want to know what ‘cold’ is then head up to Minneapolis, north of Toronto, in the mid winter. If you want to know what ‘hot and humid is’ then try Orlando in the height of the summer. If you transcribe a line from Los Angles to Miami and turn this into a road trip then the number of different peoples and environments you will encounter is immense. By all means there is a thin veneer of Americanism, and everywhere you will find both McDonalds, and the presence of the Federal Government; however, you shouldn’t let this take your eye off the ball of the fact that the people and environment of...  [Read more]
