TEFL Teacher Strengths & Weaknesses | Distracted Students, Error Correction & Praise - S07E07
About this episode
Gav and Em discuss their teaching strengths and weaknesses while addressing common challenges faced by TEFL teachers.
What are your biggest strengths and weaknesses as an English teacher ? 🎓 In this episode of How to English: Teach and Learn with Gav & Em , we take an honest (and occasionally uncomfortable!) look at our own teaching styles. Em loves organisation, structure and a clear plan, while Gav thrives on creativity, flexibility… and sometimes preparing a worksheet just minutes before class. 😅 We also tackle some very relatable TEFL teaching challenges : What should you do when a student is distracted? How much should you correct students during speaking activities? Is it better to focus on fluency or accuracy? And how much praise should English learners receive? Plus, we talk about that daunting feeling of starting again with a brand-new student, watching learners make long-term progress, and why genuine praise can be such a powerful part of language learning. Whether you're an EFL teacher, ESL teacher, TEFL professional, English tutor or language learner , join Gav & Em for practical teaching ideas, classroom experiences, humour and plenty of English along the way. ☕ Enjoying the podcast?
