I really enjoyed my classes and wanted to work with the ESOL students once I began my teaching career. However, the school that I starting teaching at didn't have any ESOL students, so I never got the opportunity to apply the skills that I learned to work with such students. Though I don't speak Spanish or any other foreign language fluently, do you think I have the quills necessary to teach ESOL students. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) You may have the instructions and directions on how to teach ESOL, but it is also important to learn as most as you can about many different cultures to understand if a certain ESOL student were to show up. Communication between native culture and the ESOL class is the most important thing to me.
