Recently, I heard the saying that success in any job requires 98% attitude and 2% skills. When it comes to ESL teaching, I’d argue it’s 100% attitude and 0% skills. Why? Because if you have the passion for teaching, you can always develop the necessary skills to qualify for ESL teaching jobs.
However, being certified is essential for applying to ESL teaching positions. It is often the primary requirement for landing a job. But does certification alone make you the best ESL teacher? Let's explore.
ESL certification provides eligibility to apply for teaching positions. For instance, English jobs in Japan typically require you to be a certified and trained English teacher. Once you get the job, you can credit your certification, but that's just the beginning.
ESL teaching is about embracing challenges and adapting to them. Even as a well-trained English teacher, you may face different hurdles when teaching English as a second language. Your audience may not understand English well, requiring you to find ways to communicate effectively. Instructions can be misunderstood since English is not their first language.
Additionally, you’ll encounter varying mindsets. Not everyone is open to the changes you wish to implement. For example, in English jobs in Japan, one of the toughest challenges is teaching harsh-sounding words. Japanese culture is known for its friendliness, so teaching such words requires skill optimization and, more importantly, perseverance.
Patience is also crucial in ESL teaching. You’ll be working with students who are new to English, necessitating extreme patience and passion to achieve the best outcomes.
From this perspective, it’s clear that attitude is the most critical aspect of ESL teaching jobs. While skills can be developed, your attitude toward learning and teaching is what will ultimately determine your success in ESL teaching.
