Is English language teaching for you? A guide to a new career 

Marie Therese Swabey

June 14, 2021



Whether you’re just starting out or thinking of a career change, teaching English as a foreign language is one of the most rewarding professional journeys you can embark on.


In English language teaching, there is a lot of career potential. As you develop your skills and take on more responsibilities, you can enjoy a long-term career. Many professionals become senior teachers or teacher trainers, or move into management or materials writing.



Why become an English language teacher? 


There are lots of reasons you might want to become an English language teacher. For a start, you can make a real difference in people’s lives. According to a 2019 survey by Wall Street English, 18% of professionals who have learned English report that they feel happier at work; 12% say they feel happier in general; and half of English speakers earn 25% more because of their language skills.


Moreover, English language teaching is an immensely flexible profession. You can decide whether to take a public or private job, or offer lessons on your own. Your working conditions are flexible too. You might prefer to work in a local school or academy, but many English language teaching jobs also allow you to work online from home. And if you’re feeling adventurous, there are lots of opportunities to live and work abroad, in a new country and culture. If you do travel further afield, you might even learn a new language of your own.


English language teaching is a career that encourages creativity. You’ll become an expert at designing lessons and making learning materials to meet the needs of your students. Best of all ... it’s fun! You spend your day with interesting, engaging people who are keen to learn. What could be better than that?



What do English language teachers do every day? 


It probably goes without saying that language educators teach students English on a day-to-day basis. But there are plenty of other aspects to the job as well.


English language teachers assess their learners through quick tests and official exams. They use this information to define learning objectives, and then plan courses and classes that meet their students’ needs.


Language teachers use a range of coursebooks and English language teaching materials, including a variety of audio, visual and digital tools. At the same time, they find and create teaching and learning materials of their own.


In the process of developing learners’ reading, listening, speaking andwriting abilities, teachers also help students develop confidence in presenting and communicating ideas. Furthermore, language teachers encourage students to develop important 21st century skills, such as creativity, collaboration, leadership, autonomous learning and adaptability. These skills are transferable and will help learners in many areas throughout their lives.



What do you need to become an English language teacher? 


Being a good English teacher requires more than just being able to speak the language fluently. You’ll also need a comprehensive knowledge of English grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary, combined with excellent communication skills. Teachers of young learners will also need to have an understanding of how to teach engaging, effective classes to children.


It helps if you are comfortable speaking in front of other people, managing groups of learners, and able to plan and organise your time. And it’s important to have a friendly, sympathetic nature and a good degree of cultural sensitivity. After all, you’ll be working with people from all over the world and all walks of life.



Where can you teach? 


There are opportunities to teach the English language almost everywhere. For example, you can teach English in an Englishspeaking country such as the UK, the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand or Ireland. You’ll find many private and public programmes and classes for people who have come to work or study, and who need to improve their English.


Alternatively, you can teach English in schools and universities in countries where English is the official language – but not always how people communicate on a daily basis. Nigeria, Malta, India and Sierra Leone are examples. You might also prefer to teach in non-English-speaking countries, where you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture and learn a new language too.


In terms of teaching environments, there are opportunities to teach in private academies, public schools, universities, offices, private homes and online. 



Who do you teach? 


There is an extensive list of people who want to learn to speak English. Many teachers start out with a variety of class types to find out which they like best. Your options include (but are not limited to):


  • • adults in private groups or one-to-one classes

  • • adults in language schools, colleges or universities

  • • professionals such as business people, medical professionals, pilots, etc. who require English for a specific purpose

  • • students who are preparing for an official exam

  • • people who have moved to an English-speaking country and need to improve their English 

  • • young learners in one-to-one classes or groups, or online

  • • young learners in private language schools, or in secondary/ primary schools.

Could Climate Change Cause More Lakes to Turn Bright Pink?


        Ponds with bubblegum-pink water may sound like something straight out of a dream or a fairytale, but some experts say climate change might actually lead to pinker waters across the world. In Hawaii, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service staff at Keālia Pond National Wildlife Refuge have been monitoring unusually pink water in the park since October 30. Initially, it was feared the color was a sign of a toxic algal bloom, such as the type that produces red tides, but preliminary analysis suggested the culprits were single-celled, salt-loving halobacteria. These bacteria are responsible for turning other bodies of water pink, including the Great Salt Lake’s North Arm in Utah. This area of the lake was separated from the South Arm in the 1950s with the construction of a railroad causeway, this cut off the North Arm from any influx of freshwater, raising its salinity to an average of 26 to 30 percent – double that of the South Arm – and making it an attractive environment for pinkish-orange algae (Dunaliella salina) and violet-pinkish bacteria (Halobacterium and Halococcus).
           Other naturally occurring pink lakes are spread out across the world. Lake Retba in Senegal, Salinas de Torrevieja in Spain and several lakes in the south of Western Australia have all taken on a rosy hue from their resident bacteria. While the lakes may look striking, any increase in Barbie Dreamhouse-colored waters may be a sign of warming temperatures and drier conditions driven by climate change.
       Keālia Pond’s unusual pink water certainly seems connected to drought. As of December 19, much of Maui is under abnormally dry to severe drought conditions. Normally, the Waikapu Stream flows into the pond, raising water levels and reducing salinity. But that hasn’t happened for a long time, so the salinity of the Keālia Pond outlet is currently greater than 70 parts per thousand – twice that of seawater.

Read the decription and find out the method it refers to.

         It started being developed by James Asher in the 60s. It’s a method built around the coordination of speech and action where teachers give commands in the target language and students respond with movement. Defenders of the method believed that students learn a second language in the same way that infants learn their native tongue. They claimed that a lot of the linguistic input young children hear is in the form of a command, which activates the right side of the brain, thus allowing them to be able to internalize language immediately.
       On the first day of a Beginner Level English language class, for example, the teacher might initially ask students to stand up, sit down, jump, walk, turn and stop. Then later, commands might include more information, such as touch your head, write the number 3, point to the window and walk to the door.
       As students become more advanced, the teacher will introduce new linguistic elements such as prepositions (walk between John and Mary), adjectives (pick up the red pen) and adverbs (stand behind your chair), and will develop sets of commands with more and more detailed and complicated information.

Read the text carefully, go through the assertions related to it and choose the correct option.

        Task-based Teaching (TBT) – and Task-based Learning (TBL) – is the approach that TESOL Advantage advocates as best practice when it comes to English language teaching. While TBT’s basic principles are derived from CLT (Communicative Language Teaching), there are some important differences. Critics of CLT have raised the following concerns:

           1.Teachers can struggle with the non-specific requirements of CLT.
       2.Teachers are often worried about giving up too much control during a CLT exercise.
       3.Many learners have low intrinsic motivation to communicate in a foreign language and so struggle with CLT student-centric exercises.
     4.Because CLT is a meaning-focused approach, learners may struggle with grammar issues.
      TBT addresses all of these concerns. It gives teachers a specific requirement to focus on – getting the students to complete a task. Teachers worried about their classes becoming chaotic because of a lack of structure in the lesson now have clear steps that create guidelines and boundaries – a pre-task, task and post-task. Students become more empowered and motivated when they complete tasks because they ‘own’ the language and control the task response. While TBT definitely has a greater focus on meaning than form, teachers can add an optional language focus at the end of a task to cover any grammatical issues that the task highlighted.

           The modern world’s characteristics have, for sure, important implications for the educational process as a whole, and, particularly, to the teaching/learning of languages. Answers to these macro-trends are vital in preparing youngsters to cater to the demands of a new world. With regards to teaching/learning languages, in order to be an active participant, it is essential that one communicate not only in the mother tongue but also in foreign language. The development of communicative abilities, in more than one language, is fundamental to access the society of information, moreover, it’s crucial for equitable academic access, and in the business and technological fields. It is, therefore, imperative that the teaching of foreign language be understood, and implemented, as the one offering tools vital for laboring.
