Episode 6 – What Does an ESL Teacher Do?

In this sixth episode, I go go a little off topic and focus on what I do as an ESL teacher. I cover the following topics: What is my role? Addressing students' various wants, interests, and needs. Personal views on learning and how they sometimes clash with other people's views. Continuously evolving as a teacher. Keeping students engaged. Expending, conserving, and restoring mental energy. The limitations and illusions of test scores. (What is actually being learned?) My general schedule for the day.
