Teaching English in an Overseas School ~ All Your Questions Answered Teaching English in an Overseas School All Your Questions Answered by Lovelyn Hunter Back To This Issue's Index Subscribe Send a Letter to the Editor Maybe you’ve just graduated from college and are still unsure about what you want to do. Maybe your nine-to-five-grind has grown tiresome, and you’re ready for a change. If you’re looking for adventure, you might want to consider teaching English aboard. ESL teachers are in demand throughout Europe and Asia. Some jobs require that you have a TEFL/TESL certification, but there are also quite a few jobs that only require a bachelor’s degree in any subject. While most contracts are for a year, it is also possible to get six-month contracts from some companies. There are a few things you should consider before packing your bags and boarding a plane to a foreign land. Where do I want to go? Asia is overflowing with ESL teaching jobs. Japan and Korea have the biggest markets. If you want to build up your bank account, it’s best to go to one of these countries. Many ESL teachers who teach in Japan and Korea use these countries as their home bases. They work for a while, save up money, then travel until their money runs out. Then they return to find more work and save up more money. It can be an endless cycle, if you want it to be. Working in China and other areas of Asia can be fun and culturally rewarding but don’t pay very much money. You can make enough to live but can’t really save. Working in Europe is not as lucrative as working in Asia, and because of the

Writing@CSU: Writing Guide Writing@CSU Home Page Teaching Guides ESL Overview ... Bibliography Print-friendly Format Site Index Site Information Contact Information Contributors Teaching Adults A dults bring life experiences and a level of maturity into the classroom that children and adolescents do not. Their expectations and motivations reflect this. Here are several keys to keep in mind when teaching adults: Adult classrooms may present great diversity Be prepared for diversity of cultural background, age, previous formal education, previous exposure to English, life experiences, and current life situations. Adults respond well to knowledgeable, enthusiastic teachers You must be comfortable with the subject matter you are teaching and communicate enthusiasm for the subject matter and your role as a teacher. This will help you gain respect and is especially important if you are younger than your students. If you must teach material which is challenging for you, try not to communicate a negative attitude about the material to your students. If a student asks a question which you can't answer, don't be afraid to say, "I don't know, but I'll find out for you." Adults are not too old to learn a second language well Although native language learning and literacy are best accomplished in childhood, when it comes to learning a second language, research has shown that adolescents and adults outperform children. Adolescents even surpassed children in pronunciation skills. One of the reasons children appear to acquire a second language faster than adults is simply that they get a lot more practice with other children and have lower inhibitions, but many adults have attained a high level of fluency in a foreign language.

Contact Us Help Search Canada Site ... Citizenship Canadian Language Benchmarks: ESL for ADULTS and ESL for LITERACY LEARNERS What is a Benchmark? It is "a standard, a reference point, a criterion by which to measure something." What is a Canadian Language Benchmark for English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction? It is a description of a person's ability to use the English language to accomplish a set of tasks. Why do we need a set of Canadian Language Benchmarks? The teaching and learning of ESL for Adults in Canada involves tens of thousands of people in many different kinds of places: schools, colleges, community centres, universities, factories, offices, hotels, church basements, libraries and so on. Classes may be full or part time, days, evenings or weekends. Learners come from all over the world with a huge variety of languages and educational backgrounds. With all these differences, it is not surprising that there has been no common set of standards for measuring language learning among adult ESL learners.
