THE FLIPPED LEARNING 1

Tips for Teaching English as a Foreign Language

Have you ever wondered what it would take to start teaching English as a foreign language?
For native English speakers, there are often many opportunities for travelling overseas and teaching English language arts to students in another country. You may be wondering if you have to already know another language when teaching English to others, but some of the best English lessons are often the result of a teacher who only knows English and therefore forces the students to speak in English to communicate.
