This course has been an essential step in my process to become an ESL instructor. Although I have a background in tutoring and mentoring children from ages 6-18 much if not all of the information I have learned during this course has opened my eyes about teaching english to both native and non-native speakers. Before I had no knowledge about teaching methodologies, such as ESA-Engage, Study and Activate, which are extremely beneficial in a classroom, not only for students but also for new teachers. The units on lesson planning and class management will definitely come into play when I plan to create lessons for my first ESL class in a foreign country. Not only that, but reviewing grammar was integral for building my own english skills. I often lack focusing on these grammar rules, especially during daily discourse where one tends to use slang and other unique local terms. Now I am able to analyze my own speech/writing patterns and relate them to someone who might be learning english and how to go about finding the best way to teach these rules. Each
