EFL teaching requires some technical, theoretical and personal skills.
Technically speaking it is the instructor’s
responsibility to have a strong sense of language suitability to several
different scenarios and learner’s audiences. In addition, anchoring,
concept-checking, drilling and eliciting properly are required techniques in this
business.
Theoretically, it is mostly welcomed from the EFL teacher to have cultural background of both
the English usage, way of thinking, language and intonation structures, as to
the learner’s context in order to correctly apply the techniques here once
mentioned.
The
concepts offered by CELTA are essential to this matter, giving the variety of
possible settings this job can offer worldwide.
The
personal skills involved in EFL teaching are only merely desired by employers,
due to the fact of its difficulties of being assessed. However, only by analyzing
successful professional teachers it is easy to observe some of the most
important personal skills patterns involved; Patience, high leveled empathy,
motivation, and easy adaptation and response to human interaction.
In closing,
EFL teaching is definitely an activity which requires some level of gift,
allied to a great amount of research, hard work and specially a great deal of
passion.
For that
being, the passion of teaching fuels all adversities and pushes this class of
professionals forward both in practical experience and theoretical knowledge.
