Teaching English

90210 asked:


Meaning which ones are the best to work with in terms of assistance, living expenses, pay, hours, etc … Applying to all types of schools excluding university level education.
Basically, I am graduating next year and I am planning on taking an ESL course then look for a job in Japan to teach English as a second language. I would really appreciate housing/living expenses and good pay. Any suggestions?

I just accepted a job as a middle school ESL teacher (7th-9th grade). I’m looking for any tips on how to set up my classroom, including the physical make up of the room, classroom routines, classroom management tips, reward systems, etc. This will be my first year as a teacher (aside from substitute teaching). Although I am certified to teach middle school ESL, I am used to the elementary age. Any suggestions will be appreciated! Thanks!

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications from Illinois State (wish I took another route, but oh well) and I really would love to be an ESL teacher. I took Spanish and Arabic classes in college and would love to take more and incorporate that with my love for teaching children. I looked online and all I can find are online college programs for ESL certification. I would rather go to an actual campus than take online classes. Does anyone know how long it takes to be certified? How about the steps it takes to become an ESL teacher in Illinois or America. Thanks so much!

I live in Virginia and have a Master’s degree in computer field. I don’t have prior teaching experience.

Do I need to have a certificate to teach English as a second language?

I am thinking of taking an ESL certification course to teach English abroad. I am wondering how the economy has affected English teachers particularly in places like Japan and South Korea. How difficult is it to obtain a teaching position abroad with or without the certification?

hi.. I am a Chinese Indonesian female. I have korean boyfriend and plan to live in korea, but because the living cost in korea is really expensive. So i plan to find a job before moving there. I think the only job that does not require korean language skill is teaching english. The problem is I come from non native english speaker country. Is it possible to teach english in south korea and do i need to have TEFL /TESOL certificate?
for you who have good suggestions, i would be grateful to hear it.. thank you!!
