How to become an effective TESOL teacher?

English teaching certificate

After TEFL course, I understand how much this knowledge will help me. But before that, one thing I knew instinctively was that to be a good teacher, the most important quality I could cultivate was patience. Child, do I need to develop a lot in that environment? There are more challenges than I thought!

In addition to patience, another skill to learn is adaptability. Making a TESOL teaching plan is relatively easy. However, in real-life classrooms, things always take longer than expected. Many unknowns will happen, either destructive or unexpected.

As an effective TEFL teacher, other expected qualities include people with active imagination, lifelong learning, clear communication skills, and natural leaders who are willing to guide others. These qualities are essential to becoming a person who inspires others to learn. As TEFL teachers, this is exactly our role. The more positive attributes we bring as TEFL teachers, the more our students want to learn from us.

It is a great responsibility to stand in the position of TEFL teachers. Students see their teachers as role models, which is why authenticity and transparency are so important. If we love what we are doing, it will show, which will help students relax and get a harmonious relationship, so as to increase learning opportunities.

It is said that TEFL teaching is a profession, not just a job. I believe it is true. As a profession, we like what we do. We may naturally have many of the skills mentioned above. If not, we are willing to cultivate them. When we feel called to do something, our work feels different from when we feel obliged to do it; This may mean the difference between your whole self and your whole heart, or just getting paid through it.

When I tried to answer this question, "what does it take to be an effective TEFL teacher?" I listed several desirable qualities. As I said, the most important quality is patience. In addition, there seems to be an equally important quality to cultivate, that is, the desire to become a lifelong learner. This means that learning will never stop! We constantly read, study and learn new things.

As a person who keeps learning, he will have an open mind, which is an admirable and necessary quality for anyone in the position of leader or example. As a TEFL teacher, if you think learning is interesting and exciting, you can use this feeling to infect others and hope to inspire your students.

I believe that as a TEFL teacher, many ongoing learning will take place in TEFL classroom. I'm likely to make mistakes; There will be times when you can't get the answer, and there will be times when you don't know how to deal with it. But if I keep showing up, being patient with myself and others, and willing to extend myself, I know I will have the conditions to become an effective TEFL teacher
