Teaching English

Cookie asked:


It’s almost a challenge to read some of the questions and answers at this site because so many can’t spell or punctuate. I can’t help but think it has to be a problem teaching proper English. It seems that people is really spelled ppl. I can’t say much because I have grandchildren who are doing this, too. English was my favorite subject in school and college and I cringe when I come across someone who does a lot of text messaging. It’s obvious by all the abreviations and misspellings. How do you get the students to use proper spelling, grammer and punctuation?

Good luck to you.

I know that without a college degree, you will most likely teach children. And you should at least have some experience teaching children and a TEFL certificate. I just want to know if you can also receive the round-trip airfare paid for you and the free housing—just like in the other Chinese ESL jobs that require a college degree.

Hi! I am 23 yrs old and already have a associate’s degree (in art). I would LOVE to be an ESL teacher, as I love reading, writing, and working with immigrants. Can I become a teacher without an English degree? I know I can probably volunteer to teach beginners… but I wonder if I could make it a career. Thoughts?

I’m looking for printable stuff,although interactive websites are good as well. What I need is supplementary material,ideally good for maybe 10-15 minutes a class after my co-teacher has finished her lesson.

I’m looking for a good English as a Second language book, to use for a student of an intermediate level.

I’d like a book which has a balance of speaking, writing, reading, and listening exercises, and has enjoyable stimulus.

I love tutoring but I am looking for a career now in English as a Second Language. What online schools or schools in Southern California offer this program? Would I need to get a master’s degree or simply a certificate? Are these jobs in demand? Thanks!

ShamWow asked:


I have been asked by my principal to get my ESL certification because I will be teaching ESL next school year. My job as a librarian is being cut to half-time and the other half-time position available is the ESL position.
I was wondering if someone would share their experience as an ESL teacher. Just a few suggestions or ideas, please.
