Why TEFL?

Why make a blog about teaching English as a Foreign Language, when there are so many other good blogs out there??

  1. I have just started studying the Trinity Diploma and I am getting into the nitty-gritty of the subject...or more so than when I began teaching about 5 years ago.
  2. They say that one of the best ways to remember what you study is tell someone else about it. So, I hope to write down some of what I have learnt to lodge it in my brain.
  3. Hopefully, other teachers will comment on what I have learnt to tell me if it is right/wrong/too simplified/impractical etc
  4. It's good to get feedback from other teachers who might be in the same situation...i.e. struggling with the Trinity Diploma/DELTA
  5. You've got to have someone to rant to about your students now and again, haven't you!
  6. Reading other teachers' blogs has provided me with some excellent links for other informative sites/tips/books/vids etc. If I can keep on sharing and one other teacher finds something interesting or worthwhile, then I might start paying back my Karma debt.
