When you’re looking for a job, it’s easy to lazily apply for every possible vacancy with a standard template. Crafting your resume for each job will get you much better returns, though. English teachers have a unique set of skills that need to be highlighted in the resume if it’s going to successful.
Last week, I wrote about the 3 main elements on the way to fluency (practice, knowledge and confidence). Here I want to talk about the practicalities of becoming fluent.
Fluency is often held up as being the goal for students to aspire to, particularly in Eikaiwa, or conversation schools. I find with many of my students that they have a reasonable knowledge of English grammar, and decent vocabulary. Fluency – the smooth, natural, and coherent use of English – is something difficult to achieve, though.
The head of Kevin’s English Schools, an Eikaiwa in Japan, kindly allowed himself to be interview by My TEFL Journey last week. Part 1 can be found here. And now, with no further ado, I present part 2 of the interview.
A special treat for you, readers! Kevin Burns of Kevin’s English Schools (based in Japan) has kindly agreed to be interviewed. Read on!
