How TESOL Teachers Teach English

        Congratulations to you! You have just obtained your TESOL certificate qualification and you are looking for a TESOL job. You're looking at two positions with similar pay and working conditions. Would you choose a language school with teachers for your children aged 3-15? Or are you applying for a job as a conversation and business English teacher for adults? Deciding which age group you prefer to teach is largely up to you and your preferences. If you don't have any experience, this article may help you decide what's best for you. Let's start with young learners and look at the strengths and weaknesses of each group.

        Teaching young students: Potential primary problems

        Negative: Poor English, poor concentration, big class

        Positive aspects: I am good at accepting, with many songs, games, and interesting classes. I am respected by teachers. I am quick learner and eager to use new languages

        Teaching young Students: Potential adolescent problems

        Negative: Tired after a long day at school, potentially disruptive and disengaging

        The positive: Sometimes studying for a test can focus attention, can respond to current and hot topics, can be interested in English music and culture, can learn quickly and progress can be satisfying

        Teach adults: Potential problems

        Negative effects: usually learning is not fast, classes are cancelled in life, teaching young students is not as interesting, lack of classroom atmosphere

        Positives: usually motivated, builds rapport in groups or one-on-one, interesting discussions, interest in exchanging cultural perspectives, etc. Opportunities to specialize in the field of business English with increased earning potential

        Keep in mind that many institutions around the world teach both adults and teens, so if you choose to teach just one, you may need to step up your game. But if an adult is your choice, find out more about what business English is taught and consider taking a short professional course in business English teaching to really add value to your resume.

        However, if you think you prefer young people, but facing loud teenagers seems scary, don't let that distract you. Give it a try. You'll add something to your resume, broaden your appeal to employers, and who knows, you might actually like it. Do some homework: Find material for your target age group, such as OneTop English, and consider taking specialized courses that add value to your skills by teaching English to young students. The good news about the TESOL qualification is that it opens doors worldwide, allowing you to teach a range of student ages and stages.

        So, pick the course you feel most comfortable with, and pick a specialized course to give you that extra edge. No matter what age group you ultimately decide to focus on after your TESOL course, taking a flexible approach to your journey is sure to make you a faster and more skilled teacher.
