Charlie asked:


In Canada we have both colleges and universities which offer a wide range of learning opportunities, here in Canada I am in College and currently in College and I am going to receive a 3 year advanced diploma which is equivalent to a 3 year pass degree from a University, would this be suffice enough to teach english in Korea?

Gary B asked:


I have just volunteered to take over a class from an experienced ESL teacher. Yikes! I have some lesson plans from esl-images.com and some other information. I am looking for good, practical advice to get started teaching classes. I am not a teacher by profession but have taught internal courses for my companies before. Good ESL web sites are welcome too.
Sorry, I should have added this detail originally. This is an ESL class at my church that I am volunteering to teach. We get almost all adults, primarily from central America. The current teacher is certified as a teacher and teacher trainer, but is going on maternity. She will be spending some time with me to train me, but at this point I am needing all the help I can get!
Here is a good book that I’ve recently checked out of the library: Teach Yourself Teaching English as a Foreign Language.

He’s got a lot of good stuff for people like me. I bet even teachers with some experience will benefit from this book too.

yeah, I think i want to be a teacher for a while now. I took a career cruseing test and it said I would make a good esl teacher… I have always wanted to go to japan and I think it is a good chance… There is a teacher somewhere in my school that HAS done it…but I can never find him >_> Anyone have any tips?

BSS asked:


I’m starting to think teaching ESL may be something I’m interested in, since I already want to major in linguistics. What’s the process of teaching abroad? What’s the typical job availability/pay? Do I have to be fluent in the language of the country I teach in? What are the most common/best countries to go to? Any advice or experience would be appreciated.

smiley asked:


I am currently a teacher, with a M.A in Special Education, for a high school and want to an endorsement in a more specific field. I have a B.A in English so I enjoy reading and helping students evaluate a text, but I’d like to travel and enjoying working with diverse populations and cultural groups so I also like the thought of teaching English as a second language

Any thoughts or suggestions on which to pursue?
I think I could just get both, but I’d like some information from those with first hand experience also

I obviously know english is needed and I’m taking German because I want to be an ESL teacher in Germany. I know there are plenty of college majors for this, but I would like to know of any high school classes would help me before I go to college. Thanks in advance!
