Ideally, I would like to teach in a university environment. I want to teach students who really want to learn, and will work hard to do so. I also like teaching older students, as I don't get along well with younger children. I think TESOL is a really important topic to understand since our world is becoming more and more global by the day. We must consciously be aware that not every person we encounter will be a native speaker of English, and we must be able to accommodate non native speakers' needs and help them with their English skills. I would really like to be able to accommodate each of my students according to his or her native ethnicity, and I am hoping that this class will help me to do so. Every culture is so different that I feel we need specific instruction in order to successfully deal with all of the different cultures we will encounter in our teaching careers.
