I just watched this video for the first time. Thank you so much! I'm working on my ESL K-12 endorsement at Idaho State University. I was supposed to have 40 hours of ESL field experience this semester, but due to COVID restrictions it was all cancelled and substituted with online activities. This loss of the field experience opportunity is creating anxiety for me because I still don't know what being an ESL teacher "looks like". Your video provided me with some badly needed information!

9:55 For me, this took about 3 weeks. I teach in a K-5 school. So, most of the potential ELLs will always be in kindergarten. And I want to say thanks for posting the advice on being good to oneself, working on one thing, & getting your classroom management down pat. I'm a first year ENL teacher who pulls out & pushes in, & keeping up with my planning is challenging. But my principal has noted that I have strong relationships with my students (even though some of them still misbehave) & I think that comes from my classroom management style. If you don't have classroom management down & address behavior, then it's hard for all to learn. After hearing that from you, I feel better about my practice & future as a teacher.

Thank you for sharing! I am an ESL teacher who was educated in Puerto Rico, where everything is immensely different. However, I've been teaching in Illinois for the past 4 years (since my first year as a teacher). I also felt thrown to the lions. Specially because in those 4 years I've taught something different each tear, and non of them was ESL ( which was my major). I've done EC, 1st grade Dual Lang. in Spanish, middle school Span. Lang. Arts and U.S. History in Eng. Needless to say, I am exhausted. I took this year (2021-22) off. I am eyeing ESL positions for next year, but I feel so discouraged. I feel like I forgot everything. Also, I am intimidated with the whole push in push out dynamic. That doesn't exist in Puerto Rico, so I have no idea. I am grateful for the transparency and advice of teachers like you Hopefully it'll be enough to prepare me for next year 😬

If you teach young children, "Old McDonald Had a Farm" is one option, and as you sing, you can use different stuffed animals or plastic toy animals. The other more affordable option is to find animal images and print them out and hold them up for the student to see if teaching online. You can also change up the vocabulary and say, "Old McDonald Had a House," and say objects in the home. Example: Sink. And say "with a wash, wash, here," and a "wash, wash, there." Not sure if this helps, but it's one idea for young learners.

Hi there! That's a great question. You do not have to be bilingual. The important thing is to be able to make content comprehensible and to know a little bit about the syntax and rules regarding the native language of your students so that you can inform instruction accordingly. It's important to not only make your content comprehensible but also interactive, engaging, and accessible for your students. It is also important to be aware of the language proficiency level of your students so that you are constantly challenging them to improve their English to the next language level.

I'm planning a livestream on that very topic. Stay tuned! 😉 It's a huge topic I hear often. However, to begin, I schedule my time based on students' language levels and get creative with the teachers who teach them. Also, sending lessons to preview ahead of time helps to keep up with lost ground that can occur when you can't always pull them. In my opinion, co-teaching is the way to go if it works with the schedule.

Hi- My friend is an ESL teacher. She suggested that I consider this. However, I do not speak another language. If so, how do I do this? Where can I prepare to take the test for my state (Ohio). Thank you for your advice.

@TheLanguageLady 2 жыл бұрын

Thankfully you don't have to speak your students' native language because you'll be teaching with a lot of comprehensible input. Try googling for the test it ask the teacher certification department for Ohio.

Hello Dr. Very interesting tips. I already have a graduate degree in science. Living outside the US. I am a native English speaker and wish to transition to ESL. I also speak Spanish and Portuguese fluently. Which online programmes would you recommend in North America? Many thanks.

I have been an adult ESL teacher and have taught at the college level as well. I am planning on becoming a regular k-12 ESOL teacher. What do you actually teach - only English or are you required to teach other subjects, including math, science, etc as well? I would appreciate your comments. Thanks

Thank you ever so much. I really appreciate your comment. Even though I have a lot of experience teaching English (Esol) to adults, I haven’t had much contact with children except many years ago when I taught reading.Strange as it may sound, I feel like a teenager on my first date lol. Full of trepidation. Your thoughts. Thanks

Hello! Do parents need to request an iep to get esl for non English speaking students ?

@TheLanguageLady Жыл бұрын

Hi Abigail! No, they do not. In order to obtain ESL services, most states require a home language survey and then a screener test. Based on those results, the team decides if the student requires language services.

Do I need a college degree before I apply for my ESL certificate?

@TheLanguageLady 3 жыл бұрын

Yes and no. In some instances a school district might grant you emergency certification. In most cases however, it is expected that you have a degree first and then add on an ESl certification. I can only speak for the state of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. I am not quite sure if that rule applies for all the other states.

@TheLanguageLady 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Yashmin! I worked in a school district where this was the case for a teacher. She spent more time providing support for newcomers, beginners, and intermediate students. She would check in with her advanced students by providing feedback to the main classroom teacher. What grade will you be teaching? Do you know which model of ELD support you will be providing? Sometimes you can get creative and do a mix.
