ESL Teaching Tips: Keeping a Class Log

Keeping a class log is essential

everyone knows to include things like what class you taught, what lesson you taught them, the date, attendance, etc.

but i recommend including how successful each lesson was, and comparing the results to your lesson plans, so you can see what works and what does not.

Even though I was just interested in SK, not in teaching, you sound to be a good teacher (you care, hence you made your class log).

They should consider doing this in America...or everywhere, cuz many people come out of the classroom's forgetting everything and not caring. :/

Thank You!

And you are right, ALL teachers should look at and evaluate their lessons to make sure they are giving good ones!

Hello, i have an AA degree, do u know if it is ok to teach english overseas... in south america??? thanx

@mariapyhugom

To be honest, I don't know, I've never been to south America.

A friend of mine is teaching ESL in Columbia, but its just part time, private one-on-one lessons, nothing official. So, there is some demand for ESL, I just don't have any details. sorry.

What is the best company to get an ESL cert. from? Is the ESL cert. enough?

[theheadlessrabbit]

Unfortunately, I dont know much about ESL certificates. When I was over there, Korea didn't require any ESL certs, a degree in anything was enough. Having an ESL cert gave you some priority in hiring, so you can more easily get positions in downtown Seoul, while people without one are stuck out in the middle of the country. in my contract, ESL certs also get you an extra $100/month.

Great post I will certainly use some of the ideas for my first time teaching in SK! Cheers

I saw this video right before I started teaching a year ago. Passed the idea along to my friends, also. Priceless, thanks so much. Helped me so much during the year.
