ESL Teaching and Post-Pandemic: What Changed?


Altiné Moumouni


        The pandemic that started in 2019 has shaken the world, and it has transformed the way we interact, the way we work, and even made us appreciate the simplest things we took for granted.
                1. Pandemic creates shortage of qualified ESL teachers
             Currently, there are still fewer ESL teachers willing to travel abroad and teach ESL. At the same, countries like the USA experience a massive reduction in ESL teachers. About 44% of public schools in the USA declare they need at least one teacher, and 61%, particularly of these vacancies, are due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including 51% resignations and 21% retirements (Source: Usnews.com).
                2. Pandemic increases uncertainty among ESL teachers
             The pandemic increased the level of uncertainty as nobody actually knows what will happen next. The best way to prepare is to invest in yourself and become a better teacher.
              3. Parents may experience income reduction
            Most countries, including the USA, will experience postpandemic recession, reducing households’ discretionary spending for education. This may lead to fewer private tutoring jobs available for ESL teachers. In addition, some ESL students may need to drop out of school to support their families.
              4. ESL teachers less sure about teaching as a career
         A study from the Brookings Institution found that, during the pandemic, teachers have become less confident about their career choices. The researchers found that many teachers considered leaving or retiring during the 2020-2021 academic year.   
             5. Pandemic increases role of technology in ESL learning
            One of the biggest issues is the increased role of technology in ESL learning. In most western countries, including the UK, Canada, and the United States, many ESL students have at least some access to electronic devices and internet.

Vamos analisar a questão de concurso que propõe identificar a frase que usa corretamente a forma comparativa para comparar dois objetos.

Alternativa correta: B - Her performance in the second act was better than in the first act.

A frase correta é a alternativa B. Aqui está o porquê:

Comparative Form: A forma comparativa é utilizada para comparar dois objetos, indicando que um possui mais (ou menos) de uma característica que o outro. No caso da alternativa B, a palavra "better" é o comparativo de "good" e está corretamente utilizada para comparar a performance dela em dois atos diferentes.

Vamos agora analisar as alternativas incorretas:

Alternativa A: The cat is more friendly than any other cats in the neighborhood.

A frase tenta usar "more friendly" como forma comparativa. No entanto, o correto seria utilizar a palavra "friendlier", que é a forma comparativa de "friendly". Portanto, a frase correta seria: The cat is friendlier than any other cats in the neighborhood.

Alternativa C: The weather is more hot today than yesterday.

A frase está incorreta porque "hot" é um adjetivo curto e deve usar a forma comparativa adequada, que é "hotter". A frase correta seria: The weather is hotter today than yesterday.

Alternativa D: This laptop is more faster than my old one.

Na frase, "more faster" está incorreto porque "faster" já é a forma comparativa de "fast". Não é necessário usar "more". A frase correta seria: This laptop is faster than my old one.
