In Need of ESL Teacher Interview

by Laura K.

Jul 8, 2016

Hi everyone, I am in need of an ESL teacher who would be willing to answer 10-15 questions via email for one of my certification classes. If you would be willing to provide me with your email address, I can send you the questions! This is a time sensitive issue as the class ends on July 15th. Thank you for your time!

Hi all, my name is Mickey and I previously working as a recruiting agent to recruit teachers to teach in Taiwan. Here's something I would like to share with you all so you know what to watch for before going on a trip to any country to teach.

Regular American salary, working in an American school (think: homecoming, baseball, prom, yearbooks, newspaper, AP courses) located on military installations around the world. There is a 401k plan (tsp) and you get a 5&37; match. Free roundtrip ticketes to visit loved ones every two years (or one year if in a hardship location: bahrain, korea, okinawa, sicily,turkey, for example). All your goods and furniture are shipped, up to 18,000 lbs. Supports and services from the military (grocery and dept stores, cinemas, golfing, hospitals, legal etc.). It is not a bed of roses: there is a lot of political game playing and there are some coworkers who you wonder how they ever got a teaching certification. The money is pretty good as are the bennies (not as good as some districts in some states, but still ok) but you get to be in a foreign country and still have some American community. (examples: Rota, Spain - Naples, Italy - Wiesbaden, Germany - Seoul, Korea, Okinawa, Lakenheath, England - Guam.

As a new teacher, going into TESOL, what are some valuable lessons you have learned so far in this field? What recommendations do you have for the first year? Thanks everyone! :)

MaryB to John I just retired last month after 14 yrs of middle school ESL. Of course the ideal class size is 12, but that was what my school was like the first couple of years. With 150+ ESL students in our program, my numbers were 25 until this last year. I had two Level 5 English classes that were 32 & 31. I had a fit, but even with an extra class assigned...See More

ESL/ELT activities which are effective with boys, esp ES/MS

by SSB

Jan 21, 2016

Does anyone have tried and true activities which work really well with boys? At this age especially, they are not the same as girls in their approaches to learning ...(!!) So, apart from running around in a pirates-type game, what other activities can you suggest which do well?

cemmclc I tend to agree with the previous poster. The number one reason for students loosing their previous culture is the fact that they are completely emerged in a new culture.

You also need to remember that some aspects of "American"culture became part of their culture long before they ever left their original countries. Most of my s...See More

Students speaking Spanish

by Molly

Sep 6, 2015

I encourage students to speak Spanish to translate for less proficient students, but in one high school class students sometimes say things about me when I tell them to stop chatting or take their cell phone. It's very annoying, and sometimes they will say something that makes others laugh. I only speak a little Spanish, so I don't understand what ...See More

James Here is how to handle the situation: you say authoritatively, " Tú no qieres que yo llame por telefono a tus padres para dicirle que tú estas mal educado(a)".

Or say, "Si continues, voy à llamar por telefono a tus padres para decirle que estas mal educado(a)".

That has always worked for me.

Greetings one and all, I am primarily a French teacher with some ESL experience. I am at a loss as to the grammatical explanation of #3 in the sentences below. As an English speaker, I select the correct verb form, but I am unable to explain why?
