TESOL English teaching trends you need to know

TEFL teaching English as a foreign language is a changing field. Research helps us master the latest and best teaching and learning methods, while other situations that can mitigate the impact will also affect change. In the past few months, 2022 people have experienced many changes in many different aspects, and there is no difference in TEFL.

As TEFL teachers, we need to know what is a hot topic and what is not, when it comes to teaching English as a foreign language and tourism. As TEFL teachers, we are usually frequent flyers and digital nomads, so knowing what can help us make informed travel decisions and save money. At the same time, understanding the new situation in the education sector will help us bring A-game into TEFL classroom.

Let's take a look at the top emerging trends in 2022, when it comes to everything at TEFL.

Augmented reality in the classroom

It is no secret that technology has undoubtedly entered TEFL classrooms around the world, but it has been completely upgraded this year. We are familiar with the application of teaching and learning language, but soon we will see the implementation of augmented reality technology. Virtual tour guides, Interactive Vocabulary games and interactive textbooks are all possibilities of augmented reality. For our students who are proficient in technology, this will be a welcome progress in our TEFL English teaching classroom.

Gamification

Of course, what is related to augmented reality and virtual reality is the Gamification of educational purposes. This is particularly evident in language learning situations. There are already many applications that use Gamification to help language learning, and we can expect that the use of these applications or similar technologies in TEFL English teaching classroom will increase.

Mindfulness and learning

We are gradually aware of the pressure of modern life we face every day. Therefore, we are more and more good at understanding the need of mindfulness. As TEFL teachers, we can contribute to students' mental health, and bringing mindfulness into TEFL classroom is one way. Simple mindfulness exercises have been shown to improve sleep, overall well-being and attention - the key to learning.

Microlearning

Microlearning stems from the belief that a small amount of information is more unforgettable than a large amount of information. In other words, if information is delivered in short, sharp bursts, we are more likely to remember it. For independent learning, this is in the form of application. In TEFL class, this is achieved through the use of short games and activities, especially vocabulary learning and independent language projects. This also helps to improve the level of motivation in TEFL classes, as students often find it easier to concentrate in a shorter time.

Sustainable tourism

Today, travelers are looking for more meaningful and authentic experiences. As more and more people turn to supporting smaller local enterprises, the number of large group tours run by travel agencies is no longer as large as in the past. If it sounds like you, you will be glad to know that you have many choices, from living in a host family to language communication.

The way we do a lot of things has changed dramatically in the past few years. This has led to some developments in TEFL classroom and on the road. As TEFL English teachers, we are in a unique position, and we are influenced by these two aspects. Fortunately, change is not necessarily a bad thing. These emerging trends, whether TEFL foreign language teaching or tourism, may make our lives different, but they will not lose fun and excitement.
