Teaching English

walltofloor asked:


I want to give my ESL kids projects to do that they’re going to have to put effort into/spend more than 10 minutes on. Do you have any recommendations?

Dennis Fargo asked:


My first choice is India and surrounding countries. Other Asian countries, Europe and Latin America would be fine. I could get certified and do volunteer ESL work in America. I have lived in 9 American states and Germany. I don’t stay put for more than a few years most of the time. Thanks for the answers in advance.

I am graduating in May 2008, looking to experience ESL teaching before working in the corporate world, if doing that at all.
Does anyone have any information on reputable ESL recruiters???
Any info would help me.

Robert U asked:


This will be my 1st year teaching and I’ll be teaching a kindergarten self-contained ESL class. The first 2 days of school are half-days and I needed an idea of something to do with them that perhaps gets them acquainted. Any ideas??? (They are ELLs and most probably won’t know much ENglish, if any).

Gurk asked:


I would like to teach ESL in China in the next few months. There is a company called English First who will certify me through SIT. English First will also place me in a job. The SIT certification is 1,995.00 and CELTA is 2,495. Is is worth paying the extra money to get the CELTA cert. I do not plan on living overseas forever probably just a couple of years.

Gonzo asked:


Outside the classroom if I am approached by a parent should I charge 20,000 won an hour for private lessons. If you are an ESL teacher was is a good price range to charge? I plan on making some money there so any suggestions would be great.

I am looking for schools in an area that offer an ESL program (English as a Second Language) and wondering if there is a good place that would list these.

I am recent high school graduate, and have just returned from teaching English in Brazil for the summer as a volunteer. Now that I am home the pressure is on to figure out where I am going to college. My original top three choices have all accepted me.. but now I find myself leaning toward the college that I visited while I was in Brazil. I want to go into secondary education with an esl minor. The goal is to eventually be teaching english to exchange students who are in highschool. The problem is, even though I speak some portugese, I am not terribly fluent. This would put me a semester behind, as I would be required to attend portugese classes, if I do attend UNASP in Brazil. This would end up costing my parents more money in the long run.. I guess my question is, is it worth going to Brazil and picking up Portugese? Would it benefit my major in any way or should I stick to my original choices?
