Most people know how to play the game of bingo, after all it's a game that many of us either played as kids or learned to enjoy in later life. The idea of the game is quite simple: every player is given a bingo card (sometimes known as a "bingo board" or "bingo sheet"), each of the squares contains an item (traditionally a number), and players tick off squares when the corresponding items are called out by the bingo caller. The objective of the game is to be the first player to get a continuous line of items diagonally, vertically or horizontally across the card, and then claim the win by calling out "Bingo!". As already mentioned, in traditional versions of bingo, the items in the[..]

February 14th is the day that we celebrate St. Valentine's Day. This is a day traditionally associated with lovers and romantic love, marriage proposals, giving gifts to loved ones, and of course sending cards. A game of bingo is also an enjoyable idea to mark St. Valentine's Day. The game is conducted exactly like a standard game of bingo, but with one key rule change: instead of playing with the normal bingo cards printed with numbers, the game is played with special cards printed with words that are related to the holiday. If you would like to play this version of bingo, the principal requirement is some bingo cards printed with the words and phrases related to the holiday theme. It[..]

If you want to play bingo, of course you need bingo cards - one for each player. However, as far as traditional bingo (the game played using bingo cards printed with numbers) is concerned, there is probably no desperate need to create the cards yourself. However these days, the traditional game is not the be all and end all of bingo. More and more people are taking to playing themed versions of the game, and these versions of bingo require custom cards printed with words or phrases relating to the particular theme, rather than the traditional numbered cards. Perhaps the most popular themed versions of bingo are those based around holidays and seasonal events. For example, you could play[..]

Back in high school or college, your teachers in your writing classes would always remind you to dot your i's and cross your t's. The importance of grammar in conveying a clear, meaningful message can't be stressed enough. After all, English grammar consists of rules that govern the language. Students and professionals alike must keep a sharp eye for details when writing to avoid embarrassing grammatical lapses. Writing with atrocious grammar has its painful consequences-like loss of credibility for a company, less job opportunities for job applicants, or decreased sales for businesses. Aside from that, writing is more formal than speaking in the English language. So you can't afford to[..]

1. Use A Language Learning Software. More interactive than your typical language courses and cheaper than taking a real class, language learning software offers the most cost-effective medium of instruction for anyone studying English as a second language. The participatory nature of a software course coupled with the flexibility it offers in scheduling and time makes it an obvious choice for anyone serious about learning new languages. 2. Talk to yourself. There's no faster way to learn English than to speak it and you can do it even when there's no one around by practicing with yourself. Take a phone book and read the numbers aloud using the new language, watch TV and make comments in[..]

While it is true that most of us tend to think of bingo as a leisure activity, and that a lot of pleasure can be derived from playing the game, it is also true that with a few simple adaptations versions of bingo are well suited to classroom and educational use. There are in fact a wide variety of different ways that bingo can be played in education, and it can be used to teach a range of different subjects including vocabulary, reading, English, foreign language and math, but in this article we will discuss how bingo is being used by teachers to help teach sight words, such as the words on the Dolch sight word list. If you are not familiar with the concept of sight words, these are[..]

Among the many challenges learning English as second language poses, an all time classic is a double negative. Since double negatives do exist and in fact are quite correct in other languages, for instance Spanish, many ESL students have to face the fact that in English they are not correct and therefore should not be used. What is a double negative, you might ask. It is is the nonstandard usage of two negatives used in the same construction. In a double negative sentence, they cancel each other and create a positive. Today, they are considered grammar mistakes. The standard use of negatives in English can be understood from a mathematical concept. If you have two positives, for example[..]

English as Second Language (ESL) learners can rely on custom essays to ease the pressure of academic life. For these students, the various academic requirements that await them are very intimidating. The difficulty in meeting these requirements is rooted on the language barrier that separates ESL learners from native English speakers. Much as they want to meet professors’ requisites, ESL learners find themselves at a very disadvantaged position. Staying competitive even becomes more complicated since these students do not have a firm grasp of the English language. A simple essay writing assignment or a class recitation turns out to be a burden since there are various language[..]

Did you realize that over a billion people in the world now speak English? According to a report titled, "English Next" by language researcher David Graddol, "...two billion people [will] be speaking or learning English within a decade." [1] English is everywhere. The Economist says, "[English] is the language of globalization-of international business, politics... It is the language of computers and the Internet... it is the dominant international language in communications, science, aviation, entertainment, radio and diplomacy...." [2] "English... is an important tool for operating on the world stage," says John Whitehead, director of the British Council. The ability to speak and[..]

In 1948, Edward William Dolch, phD, prepared a list of 220 common English "service" words, and a further 95 common English nouns, for his book "Problems in Reading". Edward Dolch's list was based upon the frequency with which these words appeared in children's reading material of the time, and the fact that very few of these particular words could be sounded out phonetically. Dolch's conclusion was that for a person (whether that be a child or an adult learning English as a foreign or second language) to achieve reading fluency in English, they would need to be able to recognize all of these words. Nearly 60 years of educational experience has borne out this finding. Today's educators[..]

Regardless of the subject matter and the age group of the student, interactive teaching tends to work best. In today's technology driven and information based world, most interactive learning is done via computers. This can take many formats, such as: - PowerPoint presentations - Video presentations - Webinars and web conferencing - Audio - Games What is Interactive Learning? This is learning where the student is actively involved in the process. They do not just sit in a classroom or other similar setting and have someone feed them information. Instead, they are actively engaged in the process by hands on activities. When English is taught using multimedia resources to make the teaching[..]

Never before in history has a single language been as widely used as English. The number of English users in Asia alone is more or less equal to the number of Native English speakers worldwide: 350 million, more or less the combined populations of the United States, Britain and Canada. The advent of the Internet has boosted English even further, about eighty percent of the world's electronically stored information is in English, and this widespread use of the language has caused an increase in the demand for English courses. An estimate by the British Council reports that today more than 1 billion people are learning English for work, study or leisure. China is strongly pushing English[..]

INTRODUCTION Teaching is always a dynamic activity. It unfolds a world of knowledge and information, experience and erudition (Chakrabarti, 1998). Effective teaching requires more than straightforward teaching methods. Teachers need to know their students well and be able to adapt their teaching styles to a particular classroom and to individual students. (Elliott et al, 2000). Effective teachers are those who achieve the goals they set for themselves or have set for them by others. An effective teacher must possess the knowledge and skills needed to attain the goals and must be able to use that knowledge and those skills appropriately if the goals are to be achieved. (Anderson,[..]

These days, traveling and living abroad is thought of by many as not being as safe as it used to be. However, that's not true, and many gap-year students are fearlessly taking time out to teach in countries they've never been to before. As long as you keep an open mind, have your wits about you and take out travel insurance - there's no reason to avoid being a TEFL teacher during your gap year. There is no more rewarding way to gain insight into your host country and its residents than teaching and spending a year abroad, giving you a much more in-depth experience than just travelling ever could. All sorts of great memories will be created with your students and the new friends you make.[..]

Attending an international teaching job fair can be very stressful. Whether it is for your first teaching job overseas or your tenth, international job fairs can play havoc with your nerves. This stress can affect your ability to show your best side to recruiters, so eliminating it is a priority. One sure fire way to reduce or even remove the stress you feel is to have a backup plan. Your backup plan can take many guises. Here are two that I have used successfully in the past to make attending overseas teaching recruitment events more bearable: 1. Plan to attend more than one overseas recruiting fair There are more than ten job fairs each year that are dedicated to international school[..]

a retired engineer the other day and she told me she was half way through a TEFL training course. She wanted to know what I thought her chances were of finding a teaching job when she has completed the course. Well, I can't disguise the fact that there is a lot of age prejudice in the world of ELT. I think all sorts of reasons combine to make this a profession dominated by young teachers. First, it appeals to those who want to be able to see the world and gain experience: inevitably it's the young who fit this profile. Second, if we're honest, pay is often unattractive in comparison to other professions and young people will tolerate that in a trade-off with their travel ambitions. Then[..]

Many graduates take to doing menial jobs as a result of their inability to find a decent job. This is becoming even more common in recent times due to the current world economic crisis. There is no guarantee that making a lot of applications a day would get one a graduate job particularly when most employers only advertise for candidates with several years of work experience. This situation makes one wonder that when a university degree cannot find one a job, how does a fresh graduate find employment in his or her desired industry without experience? One very good answer is to be self-employed. Although working for oneself could be challenging, you could start reaping rewards and making[..]

ultiple streams of income In this economy the idea of having just one job doesn't make sense. First there is much competition for a single job. Second, once committed to just one job, independence and flexibility is taken away. The best strategy in this economy especially for those over 40 is to have multiple streams of income. This gives one the best sense of security. If one stream of income doesn't work out, there are many others to turn to. I suggest the number five as a target to aim for. Why? No scientific reason other than you can keep track of them on one hand. This approach, of course, takes a whole different thought process. One of the best ways to start is to search on the[..]

You may be holding back form seriously seeking an overseas teaching contract because you are afraid of getting trapped abroad. This rarely happens. When teaching abroad you will be expected to sign an employment contract covering 1-2 years and in return you will receive a plethora of benefits and the unique experiences the come with working abroad. But this does not mean you are powerless to end the contract early if some unexpected catastrophe should occur. Breaking your contract (leaving the school before the contractual period runs out) should only be done as a last resort because it can seriously hinder your efforts to land another teaching job abroad. The community of international[..]

It's not wise to rely on the 'estimated turn around' time on the form as in the past[..]

Are you going to live overseas? Are you an exchange student? Are you travelling overseas for less than twelve months? Are you teaching overseas? Are you working overseas? Have you thought about your health cover? Of course, we'd all like to think we'll be alright, however it is wise to expect the unexpected. Unfortunately, when you travel abroad you do face increased risks to your health and safety. We do tend to think that we will be able to receive adequate medical care in Public or Government Hospitals, free of charge, and for a quick one-off visit this may well be the case. Public hospitals can be very good and the quality of medical and surgical care may well be excellent but the[..]

"> Considering the recent unprecedented growth in the number of international schools in the world on top of the abundance already operating worldwide, it is no wonder you might be reeling from the thought of choosing the 'right' school for you.

Most people believe that to learn to speak a foreign language like English well, they need to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars and pass through years learning grammar, vocabulary and practicing before they can develop any fluency. People think they need to struggle with long vocabulary lists, grammar rules and irregularities and memorization of irregular verb lists and language forms that only tend to distort, twist and confuse you. You are sheepishly led to believe that only after all this can you hope to "speak" any English, French, Spanish or whatever other foreign language you may wish to learn. THIS IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE. Unfortunately, in many societies, many "institutions" use[..]

A native Turkish-language site visitor, studying English as a foreign language in the UK, wrote us a while back asking advice about which dictionary he should use while studying for his English-language proficiency exam. He indicated his personal preference for the Redhouse Dictionaries -- the Büyük El Sözlüğü in particular. But then, to our surprise, he told us that his foreign-language examiner thought the Redhouse Dictionaries too Americanized. That rang my bell, and I replied... Quote> I'm sorry, but your foreign-language examiner is mistaken. The Redhouse Dictionaries go out of there way to include current British language usage. I quote, "The[..]

With English as second language, proper pronunciation in the vernacular can be more difficult than usual. These few tips should help you get a good grasp on it. 1. Speak Slowly. The faster you speak, the more mistakes you're going to make. Unless you've already mastered a language, a slower pace will be of tremendous benefit. The faster you speak, the more pronounced your accent is going to be. In the English language, taking 2.5 seconds to utter a word is perfectly normal for non-native speakers. 2. Pronounce All The Sounds. As someone who's more familiar with the nuances of a language other than English, it's tempting to ignore certain sounds if you're unused to doing them in your[..]

The International English Language Testing System or more commonly known as IELTS is the brainchild of the British and Australian. It is an international standardised test of English language proficiency. IELTS has effectively been granted the monopoly power when both the British and Australian home office made it compulsory for student visa applicants to take the test. IELTS is also used as a benchmark for skilled migration applicants. Students sometime even complain that waiting time is too long because too many people are in the queue to take IELTS. The test fee is not cheap either. It is not an amount that any student can easily afford. The test fee in the UK is priced at 110[..]

In the present world scenario, in most of the places, people has been using English (American, British, Australian, etc) for business communication. There are a few pockets in this world, where English is not spoken. But, the majority of the people in the world speak, read, and write English; they also use it to further their business needs, skills, and requirements. People who are from non-native English speaking countries need to learn this language separately as their second language, whereas native speakers, whose first language is English, not only speak it fluently since their childhood but also use it in their day-to-day interactions. Strategy 1: Memorizing English word with the[..]
