When you accept challenges in life then It will return positive output. So always try for new and do hard work parallel.
Greetings all
Any advice appreciated for this old 'newbie' who after 10 years out of teaching ESL in SE Asia, and looking for a new challenge, has now been offered a job teaching C2 level to 13 - 16 year olds. not many more details yet but starts in September if Im interested - which I definitely am.
I only ever had a CELTA Pass A from 2000 and a couple of 6 - 10 month stints in schools and centres in China and Laos in 2000 and 2004 but not at such a high level.
I am confident I can get back in to the swing of the classroom (as I was a high school teacher (PE History but not ESL) in Oz for 15 years) but at 57 and being a public servant the last 10 years just wondering if this may be too big a jump back into the teaching realm.
Im a confident, willing to learn and have a go at anything but realise LOTS of changes have occured in that time - I dont want to embarrass myself or the school by accepting and being caught out.
Any views on what is needed to be a successful teacher of C2 students in particular?
Your help is appreciated
cheers
