It’s been 2 years since our first TeachTI on October 4th 2019! For our October meeting (online), here are the topics we’ll discuss together: Classroom management in person and online: when is technology too much (for both teachers and students)? This might sound as a paradox for online lessons, but maybe even overusing some tools […]

Second TeachTI in 2020! For our February meeting, here are the topics we’ll discuss together: Classroom management: when is technology too much (for both teachers and students)?

Happy new year teachers! Hopefully you all had time to relax and recover during Christmas time! I have decided to add a regular part to each meeting, most probably at the beginning, which will be: “lesson plans: FAQ and advice”. Everyone will have the chance to ask for advice and suggestion on how to plan […]
2019 will always remain in my memories as the year when TeachTI was born! I couldn’t feel happier and more grateful for this wonderful project! TeachTI December was a success and a great opportunity to finish the year on a positive note: we’re good! However, remember we’re (also) humans and this can sometimes result in […]
For our last TeachTI of 2019 our main question will be: “How do you keep your language level as an ESL teacher?” Teaching at all levels, especially at starter and beginner, means adapting our vocabulary, our speaking pace, our reading choices (even our body language!) to our audience. This can result in partly sacrificing our […]
The agenda for our second TeachTI couldn’t be busier than that! After the great success of our October meeting, during our November TeachTI we’ll be tackling other interesting topics: our main objective will be answering the question: “how do you deal with teaching-related stress and anxiety?” Do you have a particular routine you follow before […]

On our first TeachTI, we’ll be discussing: books!Whatever the level, we’re constantly struggling to find the perfect coursebook: have you found it? Have you ever had a terrible experience? Do you need advice on how to choose one? Come and tell us! Join us on Friday October 18th 2019 from 6:30 at Ristorante La Tavernetta […]
TeachTI was born to give English teachers in Ticino the opportunity to meet and connect in a friendly and informal environment. We often face situations that are hard (or impossible?) to understand for people who are not living the same professional “routine” as ours. With the help and support of the English Teachers Association Switzerland […]
