My Adventures as an English Teacher in Tokyo
I attended Sophia University in Tokyo, Japan, using the G.I. Bill to pay for my studies and to have a little money left over. However, the stipend money I received wasn’t enough for me, my wife Kayoko, and our toddler son Timmy to live on in Tokyo, which had a sky-high cost of living, with inflation raging at the time. So I had to work on the side to help make ends meet while going to school full-time.

Vocabulary Learning and Teaching
Introduction During almost a decade of teaching young learners in an EFL context in South Korea, I had never been exposed to the principle of teaching lexically. When teaching meanings of words, I expected my explanations to be understood and absorbed after a single exposure. However, after enrolling in TESOL courses at Biola University, I was able to experience teaching in the adult ESL context. Teaching TOEFL in South Korea allowed me to transition smoothly into teaching an IELTS course for adult students in Rowland Heights, California.

ESL Teaching Philosophy
ESL Teaching Philosophy My teacher beliefs are based on theoretical study of materials in language learning and experience implementing principles of materials selection in the classroom. When selecting, adapting, and developing materials, authenticity of language content establishes a direct link with the world outside. Teaching materials should allow for an appropriate balance of explicit language instruction and communicative tasks. In addition, textbooks should present objectives and directions with clarity, and materials must be engaging. Media such as videos, blogs and podcasts are an excellent way to supplement textbooks and keep students engaged. Teaching materials and topics should be compatible with the cultural and institutional context. Most importantly, course objectives must meet the needs of the students. My overall teaching philosophy is to set students up for success by providing them with meaningful language they can use, while humanizing textbooks and utilizing supplementary materials, exploiting sources of language input in ways which maximize the likelihood of intake and purposeful output (Tomlinson, 2011). Finally, teaching learner strategies encourages independent learning.

WowEssays Research "Personalized teaching - future of education"
Gordon E. Moore - founder of the famous technology company INTEL - formulated in 1965 what would later become known as Moore's Law. Its definitive version established that approximately every two years, the number of transistors contained in a microprocessor would double. It would mean an increase, in geometric progression, of its computing capacity. I'm a specialist in the educational sector at wowessays. I write articles in academic advice for schoolchildren and students. I care deeply about the issue of educational transformation. In this article, I have described one possible scenario for the development of the educational sector.
