Hi from Albania
Thank you so much Eric!

Sometimes I feel like I may not be cut out for this job. But it's true that, despite everything, my passion remains. So I'll keep trying, improving my skills to become a good teacher. Thank you for providing these useful tips.

Communicate clearly, that way you can teach speaking and listening them and they build more language and engage with them. In a nutshell, speak clearly with them. Student exposure to English is one of most important part, since it's learning English not teaching.
Share some life experience, which can be related directly to studying or just for push.

Be well prepared; set a side your ego and go over your all points before each class. It improves confidence, time management and quality.

I agree with all of this - thank you! The one caveat in my opinion is don't speak tooooo slowly from Intermediate level and up. They need to be prepared to understand English in an everyday setting and they will be shocked and overwhelmed when they hear English outside the classroom at its natural speed, and I think speaking to them unnaturally slowly is not teaching them to communicate in English, instead it is teaching them to only understand English from an ESL teacher. Definitely good to strike a balance!

Hello,
I fully agree with your tips, it will reinforce what I believe as a non native.
Keep going!!

Does anybody knows what's Eric's accent ?

I've taught kids and adults for about 15 years, so why did this guy come up in my feed only yesterday?? He should have appeared on my feed as soon as he started his channel!
Gosh, those 10 qualities he mentions - it sounds like good ESL teachers are passionate! Oh - oh, he's going to kill me! lol

My top quality is patience! You'll need lot of it when teaching a language.

Thank you. Very helpful.

It's amazing this channel,congratulation.

Big like!thanks for all the videos you make^_^

Couldnt have said it any better my self. Great work

What is your qualifications?

PASSION - fake! ENTHUSIASM - ok, but a better word is INTERESTED. Must be interested in (i) linguistics or (ii) education or (iii) the human beings in your class (they are humans, not merely students). For most english "teachers", its just a job...and it shows.

just perfect

You are very knowledgeable teacher

Hi Eric
I Want to ask how can I encourage students to ask questions in classroom using 5 fingers ( I mean wh questions how, when, where, why and who)?

Those tips are very useful for every teachers 👩‍🏫

Great video for those thinking of entering the profession! Thank you! Well, done!

If we always consider these ten qualities of good ESL teachers, we give our students reasons to remember that our class is as important as them.
