As s substitute teacher one of my most favorite assigments was subbing for an ESL teacher. I thought, I would love to have a job like hers. I notice that the local community colleges also have ESL courses that could also potentially offer some job opportunities. I find myself looking at area college websites and comtemplating taking more courses to add ESL to my certification and gain some skills and experience. My questions: Is it necessary to speak Spanish? (I would be willing to take some online Spanish courses if need be.) My other question is: how is the ESL teacher job picture in the U.S? Are so many people flocking to ESL teaching programs that the job market is flooded, or is this worth looking into? Any responses are appreciated.
Laurie Hi Pixie- this is hot area right now! I'm EL coordinator for a district with 900 EL students (3000 total students) and we have several teachers on a variance right now. It's not necessary to be bilingual but it certainly would give you even more of an advantage. Best of luck!
