How much money an ESL Teacher can make teaching English in Vietnam? This is a difficult question because each school pays different and each individual is paid differently according to the set of skills he or she posses.
Let’s see first where you can work and then how much you can get.
High and low heads
The head is that part of a tone-unit that extends from the first stressed syllable to the tonic syllable, but not including it. There are two pitch possibilities in the head which are called high head and low head.
Guided discovery for teaching ESL/EFL
Guided discovery is a very student centered teaching method which avoids the use of long explanations by the teacher. Learners take a more active role in their own progress and work at their speed. Basically, learners have to take responsibility for their own learning. Guided discovery encourages peer teaching and sharing ideas. Because the teacher doesn’t lead the class, he/she is free to walk around (through monitoring) and get a good overall picture of how the class is doing.
Great vocabulary building game
Building vocabulary is one of the most important parts of learning English and it is also the most difficult part, at least in my opinion. Foreign learners of English can build their vocabulary in many ways but one of the most effective way (and also pleasant) is through games.
Goc A restaurant | Asian cuisine in Saigon
I tried a lot of restaurants located in District 3 and 1 of Saigon; in fact I thought I tried them all but that is not the case. We all had four days of vacation and we tried a few new restaurants. The one that impressed me the most is named Goc A.
Goat breast barbecue
Definitely, when you think about barbecue, goat breast is the last kind of “meat” on your list, but I found the goat breast barbecue very delicious. Very first time when I ate it, 9 years ago, I wasn’t told what kind of meat it is until I finished the meal.
Glottalization
Glottalization is the production of sounds with completely closed glottis. This type of articulation is often found in English pronunciation. Voiceless consonants are articulated with open glottis in most cases and always in the case of fricatives where airflow is very important for successful production.
Glottal h in English language
The place of articulation of the consonant /h/ is glottal. The narrowing that produces the friction noise is placed between the vocal folds. When we produce /h/ in speaking, different things happen in different contexts and situations.
Getting a working visa as an English teacher in Vietnam without a college degree
“Thanks again Dan. I am still curious-If I do find a school that will hire me without a college degree, my not having a degree would impose further problems in dealing with the VISA/work permit issue?”
General guidelines for teaching ESL/EFL for children
I have been dealing with teaching ESL for children since 2009 and I have to say that it is a big challenge. Creating the right environment for children to learn is by far the most difficult part. The teacher has to work systematically in order to establish clear parameters for behavior. Usually this requires great amount of patience but it is the best way to create a relaxed, happy and child-centered learning environment.
