There is a lot more to teaching ESL that can only be learned through first-hand experience. I would like to discuss the importance of learning English as a second language in today's world, the special teaching techniques involved and the complications of the language, in all respects, inside and outside the classroom, that is involved in this field of work, that make it such a difficult and unique profession. Teaching ESL is very important all over the world. In numerous countries across the globe, learning English as a second language is stressed as much as math and science. English is by far the most popular language studied.
People worldwide use English, especially in school or business affairs.
Knowing how to speak English fluently is very helpful in today's business world, because the United States is a major world power. However, we need not go far from home to find people that do not speak English. Here in the United States, a melting pot of cultures and ethnicities, a massive number of people do not speak English, even though it is very much to their advantage. It is important that they learn how, not only for the rapidly growing rate of international business affairs and the increased use of English all over the world, but really to better themselves and make things easier in an English dominated world. A major portion of these people are school-age children.
