Ever wonder what it's like to be an ESL teacher? How does one become an English teacher? What does the day in the life of an ESL teacher look like? In this video, I'll give you the inside scoop. You'll see it all, from my morning routine, to how I get to work, to where I plan lessons. I'll also give you a peek into the classroom of an in-person class, an online class, and a hybrid class.
Yes, I talk about why I enjoy teaching ESL. It's rewarding to help people and it's fun to get creative with the lessons. But I also get into the negative sides of choosing ESL as a career. Enjoy!

Thanks so much for this video! I've thought about becoming an ESL teacher for a little while and this was really helpful! Really appreciated your acknowledgement that teaching ESL in a way contributes to colonization, but also that language acquisition is so empowering. An important conversation and something I'm struggling with too

I'm so glad it was helpful for you! Good luck on your ESL teaching journey : )

Thank you for this! I’m considering becoming an Esl teacher so it’s very nice to hear perspectives from esl teachers

@BreatheEnglish Год назад

Absolutely, it’s important to ask questions and have a little info going in!

@shayewitman9607 2 года назад

Thanks for the great video! How do you go about learning video editing, adding graphics, and all the stuff you have to know in order to make videos? It seems overwhelming where to even begin!

@BreatheEnglish 2 года назад

Hi Shaye, thanks for watching! I learned and am still learning video editing on RU-vid : ) I use Final Cut Pro, and literally just search for how to do whatever specific thing I need to do at that moment. I also use Motion to make some custom text. I think the channel Justin Brown- Primal Video is a good channel to start on.

Thank you so much for sharing. I left corporate after 20 years and wanting to start a new career in ESL

@BreatheEnglish Год назад

My pleasure! Oh cool! And still teaching ESL?

@zoeisaacson3660 2 года назад

You have a wonderful disposition! Im teaching a high beginner low intermediate speaking class on zoom-very challenging, as my experience is with upper level. Would love to hear any tips or tricks you have. Thank you.

@BreatheEnglish 2 года назад

Thank you so much for watching! I definitely struggle teaching beginners online. I have them do lots of pair work in breakout rooms and try to keep each activity to 15 minutes or less since it's hard for beginners to hold their concentration more than that. I made this video highlighting some of my fav resources ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SP-ihAQlmFc.html Good luck!

This is great info. I'm working on my TESOL certificate and have a bachelor's degree. My career goal is to teach adult esl online or in a classroom.

@BreatheEnglish 11 месяцев назад

Fantastic! Good luck to you ☺️

@theautistic.teacher Год назад

@BreatheEnglish Год назад

Yes we would love to make more videos for teachers. Any specific info you would like?

@BreatheEnglish 9 месяцев назад

@malikmulik5295 2 года назад

Hi , my question to you is if ı say, at school , ı learned to speak english . I Think at school modifies the verb learned . insead, if ı say, ı learned to speak english at school . I think at school modifies the infinitive to speak . Also there is a bit difference in terms of meaning. Thanks in advance

@BreatheEnglish 2 года назад

"at school" is not modifying the verb. "learned" is in the past tense, and you only change one verb to past tense, so "to speak" remains in the infinitive form.

I am a coming college student who want to become an ESL teacher after graduate, is there any advice for the majors? thank you Darling!

@BreatheEnglish Год назад

There are lots of options for ESL teaching licenses and certificates. If teaching in Europe or British system, a CELTA certificate is great. TEFL and TESOL are common in many parts of the world. Think about where you want to teach, get some experience, and choose the best training program. Good luck!

@karlaarrieta7892 2 года назад

I have a question what bachelor or degree do you need to become an ESL teacher?

@BreatheEnglish 2 года назад

You only need a degree if you want to teach K-12 ESL in schools. The degree you need depends on what state you're in (if you're in the US). If you want to teach adults or teach abroad, you can often just get a TEFL certificate or some other equivalent certificate.

@JackieBolen 2 года назад

If you want to make ESL a career, the best degree is something like an MA TESOL or a degree in education.

@ericsierra-franco7802 Год назад

I'm in my 50's. Am I too old to pursue a career as an ESL teacher?

@BreatheEnglish Год назад

Definitely not! If anything, your life experience will add even more to your teaching. And some students prefer a teacher who is a little older (also, many students are in their 50's and 60's). Go for it!
