Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) Basics Part 1

How to get more lessons?

Thank you so much. This fuels my passion

What you said is exactly right. I joined international English group on WA only few months not even a year people say I speak English well and confidently. And I spent years at school learning English but couldn't be able to speak English even to had simple conversation. No wonder, bcz we had never practiced to open our mouth and speak the language only excesively listened the teacher lecturing us about grammar😭. That's why now I consider to be an English teacher to do my best.

Exactly 👏

Very very informative. Can't thank you enough

I wonder if they ever found the corpse that once owned that suit.....

Initially I thought it was mandatory that you know the other person's language but this video has clarified that issue. Thanks for sharing!

U so cute

Sorry my friend m totaly disagree from you . M from India.. and we r not native speakers.. and we use English in our country more then England.. and a special thing is tht we use English with grammar... I think batter then native speakers.. so u can't say that only native speakers teach English in proper way

I agree with your ideas. The more teachers speak, the more students get confused. So, “simple and clear instructions” and “be consistent with your instructions” are very good ideas teachers should remember. However, I don’t agree with one thing. I don’t think it is necessary to have a native English speaker as a teacher. Since you taught a very effective way to teach English, anyone can teach English using your methods. I’ll keep them in mind when I teach.

...WOW, Mr.Ed Ames Chomskey. How is the content or general  syntax or for that matter the pedagogical grammar affected? It is not! Therefore, the content remains in tact.

Teacher`s salary in Iran so low.

The worst country to teach in award goes to Italy.

Is secondary level .an associates degree? I ask because i want to know what level of education i need in order to teach .

Dan , I plan on being a ESL teacher in Brazil too in the near future, can you please tell me about your education so far?

excellent,im going to brazil in a few months and going to teach english there.... :D

I disagree with you. I'm american and when I moved to another country I've had SO many non-native teachers in my private high end schools try to "teach" english and being a native speaker myself, i caught SO many many mistakes that non-native speakers would have missed. And accent is also important. Little kids learning from non natives learn the language with a wrong accent, so Native speaker teachers ALL the way

I kind of disagree. There's plenty of non-native good ESL teachers that can actually teach English way better than a native speaker... I think it depends of how good the teacher is no matter which is his first language. I had a great English teacher in my TEFL course before, he wasn't native speaker but his proficiency was C2. He couldn't do it better.

thats true i studied english for more than 10 years but i cant talk fluently because i learnt it in arabic and french. thank you so much
