      Wanted: Full-Time English Teaching Job

      Dear Sir/Madam:

      Warm Greetings!

      I am Fidel A. Ramos, a well experienced and licensed international educator and speak English fluently in neutral accent. I have a strong desire to be a fulltime teacher in your reputable institution.

      I am a graduate of Bachelor of Arts in English with honors and Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education major in English. Furthermore, I have completely taken Creative Methods in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) for 120-credit-hour. My teaching experience includes GAC-ACT, TOEFL, IELTS Speaking and Writing, English for Academic Purposes (EAP), English as a Foreign Language (EFL), Business Communications/English and Extensive Reading in China for fifteen years and previously, ten years in the Philippines. I am currently in the Philippines after teaching at The High School Attached to Northwest Normal University-Lanzhou City. I came home during the winter break last January 2020 and haven’t gone back to China due to the pandemic.

      I have been a classroom teacher with some Team Leading tasks for more than twenty years. Through these experiences teaching locally and the International Baccalaureate (IB) education program, I firmly believe that I have acquired a strong foundation of experiences teaching the philosophies, essentials and core values of teaching ESL/EAL through interdisciplinary teaching, collaborative planning and vivid discussions with my colleagues to meet our curriculum objectives and help develop students holistically. During my stay at Jiangnan University and Hubei University of Technology, I was tasked to lead foreign teachers teaching under Lambton College Program (Canadian Program) by giving them emphasis and encouragement on how to teach ESL/EAL in a classroom setting by maintaining a positive learning environment, in a dynamic and educational way that give students wide-range opportunities to generate their own critical thinking and awareness about facts of life and to confidently respond to variety of issues handed to them using the English language as a medium.

      In addition, as a team leader, I spearheaded the Exit Tests (like IELTS under Lambton College Program) which consist of Speaking, Listening, Reading, Writing and Grammar for several years. I portrayed two roles at the same time when I was teaching under this program.

      It is my great desire to be a part of your teaching team to continue my passion for teaching in the international setting and to share my ideas and experiences with my colleagues and learning from them at the same time.

      Thank you very kindly and more power to you!

      Very respectfully yours,

      Fidel A. Ramos

    As a teacher I am well aware that many students do not hear what is said but what they want or expect to hear, and many times they hear nothing at all. This is particularly

    How Do You Motivate Teachers to Be More Effective? A Legitimate Scient

    Research journals are filled with strategies to motivate students to increase student engagement and performance. It seems to me, an important prerequisite question isn't asked enough.

    Tips on Using Reflective Learning Logs

    Craft for Young Learners

    TESOL - Teaching English as a Second Language

    So, how do you become a TESOL teacher? The answers are many and various and range from strapping on a backpack and buying a plane ticket to an exotic destination, or choosing a TESOL Training course to better prepare, all the way through to taking a Master's degree.

    Regardless of your route, you will learn that TESOL teaching is a practical skill that is continually improved as you teach. As such, you will find that no matter how in-depth your TESOL training was, you will feel pretty overwhelmed when you encounter your first real learners. Don't panic, you'll quickly get better with teaching practice. And don’t get discouraged because even these most experienced TESOL teachers have bad days.

    The key to effective TESOL teaching is to develop an awareness of how a TESOL lesson is being received. Is the topic too easy or too difficult? Are the students interested or bored? You should have some sort of plan for every TESOL lesson. In other words, have a plan as to what you want to achieve and what you want your students to take away from their TESOL lesson. However, if a lesson isn't working, don't be afraid to improvise according to the needs of the moment. It is always a good idea to have a backup plan in case things don’t go as expected!

    TESOL Teacher Training

    I can't over-emphasize that TESOL teaching is something you learn by doing. However, TESOL teacher training courses are useful, as they will introduce you to a range of techniques that you can employ to help your English language learners succeed. A good TESOL course will also teach you about the more technical aspects of language such as rules of grammar, phonetics etc. In other words, all the things we do as native English speakers without thinking, but can't necessarily explain why its done that way. If you've completed a recognized TESOL Training Course it will make you much more marketable to potential employers and private students, simply by showing you're serious about TESOL teaching. There are many TESOL training options out there, both online and face-to-face. Pick the teacher training option that is best for you. TESOL courses which include actual teaching practice with real TESOL students is a benefit. This is helpful because when you graduate you are not only qualified but experienced too.

    Finding a TESOL Job

    TESOL teachers have several TESOL employment options. They can be employed by a school, teach privately or - as many do - combine the two.

    There are different kinds of TESOL schools. These include private English schools, schools and colleges in mainstream education. When applying for TESOL jobs, try to sell yourself as much as possible with your resume. Don't only state your TESOL qualifications and experience, but include absolutely anything that may be relevant, such as previous training experience, private tutoring, or teaching assistant. Be prepared to do some sample teaching, or even give a free, observed, trial lesson when you attend a TESOL school for interview.

    Teaching English should be fun. As an English teacher you have the opportunity to travel anywhere, giving back to the people you meet. You will meet many interesting and wonderful people (and a few difficult ones too). Language is learned best when the learners are having fun, and learners are most likely to have fun when the teacher is enjoying what they do. Enjoy yourself and your TESOL Planet adventure!
