Ideas and emotions: Finding a space for sharing
by Stewart Gray on 27/05/2018 at 8:25 am
Ideas and emotions: Finding a space for sharing by Stewart Gray. If you ask me, I’ll tell you: the other teachers working at my current school are seasoned professionals. I believe this is true, but I must admit, I’ve intuited their professionalism from somewhat limited observations and interactions. The unfortunate reality is that the … Continue reading Ideas and emotions: Finding a space for sharing The post Ideas and emotions: Finding a space for sharing appeared first on iTDi Blog. […]
So, is it Imposter or Impostor?
by Steven Herder on 27/05/2018 at 8:24 am
So, is it Imposter or Impostor? by Steven Herder. Teaching for years in Japan without a recognized teaching qualification or teaching license from Canada always left me feeling somewhat insecure, with a sizeable “gap” in my overall identity as a teacher. Even though I was amassing thousands of contact hours in the classroom, had … Continue reading So, is it Imposter or Impostor? The post So, is it Imposter or Impostor? appeared first on iTDi Blog.

by Stewart Gray on 13/04/2018 at 7:49 am
I wish I’d known it was all right to let things goby Stewart Gray. Watching what happens around you and within you and not intervening, letting go of the urge to fix things and people – this is “powerful meditation” for a teacher (Farrell, 2016). When I consider my early years in the profession, … Continue reading I wish I’d known it was all right to let things go The post I wish I’d known it was all right to let things go appeared first on iTDi Blog.

No regrets! Just a few wishes…
by Matthew Noble on 13/04/2018 at 7:47 am
No regrets! Just a few wishes…by Matthew Noble. I wish I’d known, earlier on, what a more realistic and practical lesson planning process looked like.

It takes a year…
by Anne E. Hendler on 13/04/2018 at 7:42 am
It takes a year…by Anne Hendler. Two months after my university graduation, I found myself teaching in a kindergarten – the same ten kids, five days a week, four hours a day. It was frustrating. I wasn’t trained. I didn’t know how to teach or manage a classroom. The recruiter had told me that … Continue reading It takes a year… The post It takes a year… appeared first on iTDi Blog. […]

My Priorities Teaching in an ELF World
by Michael Griffin on 28/01/2018 at 11:58 am
My Priorities Teaching in an ELF World by Michael Griffin. “Well, personally I only teach correct English.” “I’m not gonna teach some sort of bastardized English.” “Why would I dumb things down for my students?” “My students expect me to teach them English and not some made-up and impoverished language.” “It’s insulting to students to assume they … Continue reading My Priorities Teaching in an ELF World The post My Priorities Teaching in an ELF World appeared first on iTDi Blog.

English Without Borders: Communication in a Connected World
by Katy Simpson on 28/01/2018 at 11:57 am
English Without Borders: Communication in a Connected Worldby Katy Simpson. In many ELT classrooms, learners have little intention of ever stepping foot in an English-speaking country. So why are they learning English? Whether they have heard of the term or not, an important motivation for many is that English is the world’s Lingua Franca … Continue reading English Without Borders: Communication in a Connected World The post English Without Borders: Communication in a Connected World appeared first on iTDi Blog.
