5 Mistakes English Teachers Make They Teach English Abroad

Here are the top 5 mistakes new English teachers make when they teach English abroad:teach english abroad

1. Talk Too Fast

When you teach English, you need to speak very slowly or your students won't understand a word you are saying. New teachers often talk way to fast.

2. Don't Pronounce Their Words

When you teach English abroad, you need to separate each word when you speak. For example, how/are/you. You will feel like you are talking like a robot but this is completely normal.

3. Don't Simplify Their English

When you teach English, you need to speak using simple sentences. For example, instead of saying, what did you get up to last weekend? You would say, what did you do last weekend? This makes it easy to understand what you are talking about.

4. Use Slang

When you teach English abroad, don't use slang because your students won't understand. Students are not taught slang in school.

 5. Use Contractions

When your teach English abroad, avoid using contractions when you speak. Instead of saying 'I'm' say 'I am'. Students have a hard time understanding contractions.

I have lots of worksheets, game ideas, and many songs that I am going to use for my lessons. I think this course was a great hands-on approach, where Sarah teaches you what it is actually going to be like. She really works toward preparing you for what teaching English will entail- I feel like I am prepared and ready for being an English teacher because of this TEFL course".

6 Things You Get To Do While Teaching English Abroad

teaching english abroadHere are 6 things you get to do while teaching English abroad:

1. Taste Different Foods

When teaching abroad, you will get to try different foods. When I was teaching English in South Korea, I got to try many spicy dishes. Red pepper is a very popular ingredient in most Korean dishes.

2. Discover A Country

When teaching abroad, most employers will pay for your flight so you will get to discover a country for FREE and you get paid to live there! Travelling abroad can be expensive so teaching abroad is a great option to see a new country for free.

3. Learn A New Language

When teaching abroad, you will get to learn a different language. Being fully immersed in a language is a more effective and fun way to learn a language.

4. Meet other English teachers

When teaching English abroad, you will get to meet other English teachers from all over the world. Countries that need English teachers hire teachers from America, Canada, South Africa, England, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand so you will meet other teachers from all over.

5. Learn About A New Culture

When teaching English abroad, you will discover a new culture. Learning about a different culture opens up your mind because you are able develop a new perspective.

6. Engage In New Activities

When teaching English, you will engage in new activities.  Teaching English in Korea enabled me to got my black belt in Taekwondo. It was an amazing try something that I had never done before.

If you are interested in teaching English abroad,  I highly recommend getting TEFL certification. You need the right teaching skills if you want to succeed.
