I am really excited that I found your account. I have been waffling on following the ESL path due to financial fears and lack of support from those around me, but it’s always been something I’ve thought about. I am yearning for culture shock.
Excellent Video... A very sobering thought, especially the Culture Shock of coming back to you home, I wouldn't have thought that, but have seen it many times when my husband was in the Navy... and his friends would come back.... DIFFERENT. A lot to think about...
Thank you so much for this useful information, I just want to ask you about how to be able to teach a month or a few weeks in so many countries like you mentioned in 9:00 min.. Please I need more information regarding this, like is there a website where you can apply or programs ? Looking forward to your reply, thanks
To teach for just a few weeks or a month you are typically only able to do this as a volunteer or during a summer program like a summer camp. I recommend checking out my video on summer camps abroad. You can also check out international volunteer websites. Best of luck!
Hello. Doing teaching English career in my own country, I still the same problems as you mentioned. Although there might be more teaching abroad. Thank you for the tips.
@@ESLTeacher365 you know somethings like planning for students for students , spending time in language school between my classes. I have to take placement tests too. Although I'm paid for placement it is time consuming and not economical.
In my case, I had to evacuate Egypt due to civil unrest. If you aren’t a citizen of the country where you are teaching, you aren’t offered the same protections during times of crisis, so your embassy may coordinate an exit plan or you may be responsible.
#10 Reverse culture shock. Yeah. After 5 years of livingg in rural Donegal, Ireland. I came home for what was to be 1 year. I had to stock my house from laundry detergent and food to lamps. I was doing fine, all the basics were in my trolly, then the UNTHINKABLE. The dish washing up aisle. I just needed some washing up liquid and it was a full a8sle of dishwasher or hand washing. 8 had this one side of a HUGE aisle 9f liquid dishsoap. Every kind, evert smell and color, every choice imaginable. * I ended up having a massive anxiety attack over freaking dissh soap choices. Discarded cart and contents, ran outside for air. I LIKED having just 2 choices, Fairy and the cheaper one. I'll never forget that day. It put so much into perspective. Pumpkin pie spice wahing up, linen breeze scent, citrus scent, guaranteed to cut any grease instantly in no less than 30 seconds. Yeah. BIG, BIG anxiety attack. I don't WANT an aisle full of choices. Not not or from when I was away grom the u.s. Had a total breakdown in my car. 😢
About #9, once I heard that it's really only Americans that suck about talking to people that aren't in their immediate vicinity. I read an article about how Indians are really good at keeping friendships once they're abroad because they're family oriented and friendships don't form so quickly so therefore they don't break so quickly. And then I remembered someone said the same about Latin Americans, and then I remembered someone said the same about Russians and Eastern Europeans and etc etc 😅 I think we're just so buddy buddy with strangers and new people that once people in our lives leave, we don't even bat an eye because then we just fill that hole with new people. And we're not used to people moving abroad.
I taught in Spain through NALCAP, UCETAM and at an American school. For NALCAP and UCETAM we were only provided with books and sometimes we could make copies, so I recommend bringing materials and getting a Canva subscription if you are doing NALCAP. @@eviedaniela
Thanks Giving and Hollowen are not their countries culture. If I were the parents I would rather prefer the teachers teach my kids our own locals culture. Just saying.
When I worked in Spain we were expected to exchange our culture with the students. We specifically had activities planned by the school for these holidays.

Dang, that's the first time that I have ever heard of a teacher talking about having an evacuation plan.

What issues have you had teaching in your country?

Thank you for the links!
Jamie ji...thank you so much for the information.👏🙌🤝💐❤😊
Would love to hear the Arab Spring story
I will tell it one day!
You are awesome
Hello! 😊 Please tell us the reason that an evacuation plan might be necessary.
In my case, I had to evacuate Egypt due to civil unrest. If you aren’t a citizen of the country where you are teaching, you aren’t offered the same protections during times of crisis, so your embassy may coordinate an exit plan or you may be responsible.
@@ESLTeacher365 That makes sense now. Thank you! ☺

I get so overwhelmed in the US cereal aisle for the same reason!

Would you suggest a teacher have a background / understanding of how to determine if and how to work with a child that has additional needs
Yes, it will be very helpful if you do.
Great content
Thank you 🙂

I agree. America is a much more individualistic society whereas other countries are more family oriented.
Thanks
They don’t provide those things for you?? 4:28
Not always!
@@ESLTeacher365did you go through NALCAP? If so, would you recommend bringing the items you mentioned or did your language school provide things?
@@ESLTeacher365by the way, thanks so much for your invaluable help! I follow you on IG and happily look forward to your videos :D

I’m sorry they expect you to do unpaid Labour!?
