Teaching English

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.

I am in my Master’s Program for Education-Middle School Math. I need to get in touch with an ESL teacher in New Jersey, or a regular teacher that has one or more ESL students in his/her room, so that I can interview him/her about the ESL programs in the school. Do you know of a teacher that can help me? How can I contact him/her?

What are the education requirements to teach English as a Second Language (ESL)?

In a school environment.
Wow, I can’t believe I spelled requirements incorrectly. I’m making a great first impression.

I’m in 10th grade, I’m Hispanic, and I live in Alabama. I’m taking college prep classes too and I’m a straight A student. Ever since I moved to Alabama in the 7th grade they have made me take an ESL test at school. The only year I didn’t have to take it was 9th grade. What really gets me pissed off is that people dummer than me don’t have to take it (not trying to be offensive). Its just not fair.

Should I do something?

I wonder… asked:


I have a Single Subject Teaching Credential in English with a supplementary CLAD certification. I taught over seven years of high school ESL. I want to teach adult school ESL classes and many schools want their candidates to have a TESOL certificate. Doesn’t my CLAD certificate and English credential give me enough credence to get the job?

I am the ESL coordinator for an intermediate school in Texas. We serve 5th and 6th graders. Most of our ESL students have reached an advanced level of proficiency, so they are mainstreamed in regular classes. I teach the beginners and some intermediate students. I like to send out strategies and tips to the mainstream teachers, usually about once a week, to help them with their advanced level students. Please tell me your tips, strategies, suggestions, etc. They could be content specific or just some general. Thank you so much!!! Also, if you’d like to be added to my email list, add you address here.
