    Sorry, but wanting to teach is not enough-- the yound lady wants to teach ESL, but her own English is far from perfect, so she would be teaching a bastardized English like she speaks herself. I hope she takes some classes that can help her teach better diction and grammar. I am in favor of her teaching ESL provided she learns to speak standard English herself.

    • @santorojo2
      @santorojo2 2 года назад

      She won’t be teaching ESL: she’ll be teaching bilingual classes, meaning classes given in two languages. These would be academic subjects, like math and history. This allows non-English speaking students the opportunity to keep up with other students academically, while they learn ESL.

      In Texas, we have bilingual education. In first grade, most of the curriculum is in Spanish, so a native Spanish speaker is actually a good thing. I've worked with many bilingual teachers with poor English skills.
