As I end this course, and reflect upon what I?ve learned, I feel a sense of accomplishment. It was a struggle at times and I got frustrated, so I am able to empathize more with students who are learning english. I discovered that english ? to put it crudely, is a bloody difficult language to learn! The grammar units have given me the insight and materials I needed to be able to explain why the language is spoken or written a certain way. Before, I would respond to the student?s I was tutoring, with ?because that?s the way it is!? when they would ask me those tough questions. It made me doubt myself as a teacher and now I feel that I at least have to tools to feel credible! The lesson plans have also been helpful. As a regular classroom teacher (Elementary school in the U.S.A), I no longer write up daily plans. However, when I was first starting out I made plans that I could follow, just in case anything happened! TESOL / TEFL plans have made me look at lesson planning for non-native speakers with a new lens. It definitely helps to chart everything out. As to where I will go from here?.who knows. As much as I would like to go to a foreign country to teach again, I don?t think my husband would appreciate that! I hope continue to keep tutoring part-time as well as continuing to explore and learn more about ESL.
