Anyone teach ESL to adults?
|
|
Hi everyone-
I am new to this site. I want to thank the people who have viewed my pages, and I hope that they are useful to you also.
I teach ESL to adults. I find that very rewarding. Anyone else out there do the same?
I am going back to school to get endorsed in ESL for school aged children also. |

Hello Miss ESL! :)
I also teach adults and I think its so funny with them...
They are a married couple, and they like the way I am teaching...
On the second lesson, when we met, they wanted to propose me to others, on turn they were beginners, so... English teaching is a nice and rewarding thing!
Merry Christmas to the whole ESL community!  |

Hi, I have taught adults for about 15 years, so I have some experience now. It is not easy to teach them and especially find motivation, I managed to reduce the percentage of those who drop off to about 20 percent, which is very good for adult classes, but really hard work. If you wnat to exchange some ideas or tips, feel free to contact me.
Cheers from Renata |

I also has the privilige of teaching adults and a mixed bunch they are too. here in the UK we teach English for Speakers of Other Languages to settled people, asylum seekers/refugees and others who wish to improve their English. The student body is very multiracial, multicultural and multilingual and so I really have a wonderful time teaching them and learning from them. I would love to share experiences.
Seasons Greetings. |

I�m teaching adults here in Chile. �I find it�s just as rewarding as teaching kids without all the stress. �In fact I have zero stress. �I could never do anything else now that I�ve found the perfect job. �I�ve been teaching for almost 5 years. |

I agree with Wolfy. Teaching adults is the perfect job, in my opinion.
By the way, welcome to the community!

One other small thing - Could I ask those of you who design printables which are orientated at adults to include the word adult as a keyword (other content) when you are editing the printable information? This will make it easier for other teachers who work with adults to find your material. |

I find them "thick", impatient at times and many are looking for a quick sure-fire method to learn English.
