Esl Teacher Job Description

Teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL), like any other teaching job, is about conveying information to students in an informative and interesting manner.
Students learn English for a variety of reasons: to improve their conversational English; to improve their standard of English in preparation for school exams; to improve their English to gain entry to an English speaking university; or in order to be able to use English in their job. Consequently, the content of the lessons will vary. Depending on the school, the level of ability of the students may vary too.
The aim of each lesson is to encourage the students to communicate with each other using the structures and vocabulary they have learnt, and to improve the four basic language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing.
Teachers will use a wide range of course books, other materials and a variety of audio-visual aids. There is a lot of emphasis on dialogue and role-playing, but more formal exercises, language games and literature will also be used.
