How do I go about teaching ESL in Japan?We Answered:
A toefl or Celta course would be a useful start if you have never taught before. Or you could buy a few teaching guide books such as The Practice of English Language Teaching by J Harmer.You will need to plan your lessons and consider the ages and experience of the learners as well as monitoring individual progress.
Divide activities into each skill look at pronunciation difficulties associated with students first language.
Decide whether you are going to introduce phonetics.
Most institutions in Japan would look for a minimum TOEFL or CELTA qualification and a degree.

Has anybody ever volunteered to teach ESL or reading to adults?We Answered:
No You do not need a degree. You need great reading and comprehension skills, patience and time. You will be tested on your skills and a background check done. The most frustrating part is you have an appointment and the student never shows. This is quite common.Eddie Said:
What are the challenges of teaching writing?We Answered:
I am not an ESL teacher, but my first thought between Reading and Writing is that writing is more difficult to evaluate, to correct or grade, it is seemingly always an on-going process of revision. Reading (comprehension, word recognition, etc) is a little more definite in assessment I think. Both are connected to each other and both rewarding. You can always have your reading students to write and writing students to read. I have taught both and I do not have a favorite, but you are wise to consider this. Yes, probably writing is a little more involved than you might think ( reasons to write, styles of writing etc.) Best wishes.Zachary Said:
ESL Teaching. Advice urgently require, anyone?We Answered:
I would suggest that you make sure that the materials you are going to use are all written in the same tense (present simple? Imperative?) and that you include a segment on adjectives for descriptive purposes.Don't try and cover too much in a lesson and be prepared to ditch your lesson plan if it isn't working or something is taking longer than you expect.
Good luck and have fun!

More interesting: ESL would be pretty interesting. Reading would be, too! This is just personal preference.Higher demand: I really don't know. This depends, but I'm thinking ESL.
Easier and less stressful: Reading, I think.
