3 Experiences Possible in the ESL Teaching Career
My teaching journey has started when I decided to study science education at university because since I was a child, I'd loved to teach and to learn, to share knowledge and to understand the world around me. There I could learn a lot about didactics, learning theories and psychology, teaching methods, and many other human sciences, in addition to several hours of internship at elementary schools and kindergarten.

How to be Culturally Sensitive in The Classroom Without Excessive Censorship
As an EFL teacher, one is expected to create a proper and culturally sensitive atmosphere in the classroom at all times. Unfortunately, this does not happen in every instance because many different errors can occur. To prevent possibly contract terminable offenses, a special mindset and system of preparation must be instituted. When approached correctly, discussing difficult or even controversial ideas in a foreign country can be both culturally sensitive while also not needing excessive censorship.

The Impact of English on One's Future Career
English is the most widely spoken language if viewed internationally and has become the most important language to people in many parts of the world. I believe that people who can tell a very superior English level have more chances of finding a good job and have more job opportunities. Thus, it will give them a big chance to work at an international company. The job market has a strong demand for English, and fluency of the language can add an advantage to a candidate's possibility to get hired.

4 Essential Tools For Teaching ESL Online
Do you dream of using your TEFL certification to teach online? Online teaching is booming, and it's an amazing opportunity, but working for an online teaching company also has its pitfalls: it's hard to tell which companies are legit, wage information can be scarce, and you can be treated like a number rather than a person. The internet is unfortunately full of online teachers' horror stories of being treated like replaceable commodities. To make matters even more confusing, social media is crawling with recruiters and teachers posting referral links to work at their companies. It's hard to know who to trust!
