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!

Ivan the Fabulous asked:


From what I hear, ESL teachers(native speakers) at public schools(elementary to high school) get around 2,500,000KRW (2,200USD) per month.

Then how much do ESL teachers (and foreign instructors) at universities and colleges normally make?

I believe most university instructors/lecturers have MA degrees, so do they get more money than high school ESL teachers?

brickity hussein brack asked:


I’ve taught ESL both in the US (to adults) and abroad(to kids). I’ve been wondering what the environment of a high school ESL class is like back in the US. Do you cover all of the subject material that they get in school and teach new words needed for those subjects (science, math, history etc)? Are you just teaching them grammar and converstation while they get content in their native language for the other classes?
Sorry if my questions sound ignorant, I’m really curious.
