Teaching English

ladylion215 asked:


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!

Hi,

I’m currently living in Japan with a spouse visa and I’m bored teaching English.

I can speak a little of the language and write a very little amount.

I really want to do a different job other then teach English but I don’t know what I can do.

I have looked for other types of work but without much joy.

Any advice or information?

Thank you in advance.

Hi
I’ve to teach children aged around 15. Most of them have little confidence in speaking/communicating by using English. It is my job to teach and make sure they practice their english. Right now, I am planning to teach English (speaking) through certain activities such as board games, etc.
Any ideas what sort of activities should I use?
Thanks a lot.

J$mooTH asked:


I am curious in learning more about this field. I am earning my certification in Secondary Social Studies, but I have been told that it is difficult to get a job in this field. ESL is in much more demand, is it not?
What do these teachers do all day? How does their work differ from a normal classroom teacher?

aaaannddy asked:


Also, which one is relatively easy to get? And it will it still help me get a job?

I almost applied to take an intensive CELTA course, but damn, it’s 120 class hours in 4 weeks, plus 3 hours of homework each day, plus 6-12 hours of work on the weekend! I want to have a certification, but I don’t want to have a stroke getting it.

Extra info: I have a degree and I’ve been teaching at a language company in Japan for a year.

Thanks!
