Download - Potential pitfalls of the TEFL teacher
There are various ways in which English Language Teachers unintentionally restrict or
prevent the learning process.
Teacher Talking Time (TTT) – TEFL teachers often talk far too much which allows for
fewer opportunities for the students.
The Echo Effect – TEFL teachers often repeat what a student says in class. This may have a
negative impact on class interaction.
TEFL teacher completing sentences – Often, because students may require more time in
responding to a question, TEFL teachers may become impatient when a student pauses in
mid-sentence.
Complex instructions are very difficult for students to follow and may lead to the
students being unable to complete a task simply because they could not understand
what was expected of them.
