To whom it may concern,

English is a global language which has contributed a lot to the worlds’ nations communicating with each other.

If you are in need of a teacher who has the ability in teaching English to non-native students at your school, I delightfully present my candidature for ESL teacher position.

I am confident that I can carry a high reputation of earning positive results for the school with my experience and skills in helping students learn, read, write, and speak English fluently.

My passion for English language combined with teaching skills has helped thousands of students in the last 5 years of my employment. My resume will show you that I have taught students and adults interested in learning English.

I conduct classes in an interesting way and hence always meet 100% attendance. I make lessons fun so that they are exciting, easy to grasp, and hard to forget.

Furthermore, my specialty also lies in maintaining students' records diligently. This kind of administrative competence helps me in tracking students' progress and customise lessons accordingly.

Since the English language is dominating the world, I feel students must at least understand and utilise practical English it to be part of the global community.

Kindly contact me should you wish to discuss further.

Kind regards,

FIDELITAS High School – Soweto, Johannesburg

English Language Teacher – grades 7-12

My focus was dealing with older students, which is an entirely different experience to teaching primary school pupils. I observed and recorded the progress of my classes while creating lesson plans that are in line with national objectives. It was essential for me to stay up to date with developments in the English subject area I was continuosly tasked with teaching one single subject instead of a multitude of topics. Finally, I not only prepared my students for important exams, but also prepared them for future learning opportunities at colleges and universities.

 Teach class of 10-50 grade 9,10,11,12 students

 Develop appropriate lesson plans to engage students and cover curriculum

 Identify the need of alternative or remedial approaches and work with students to bring them up to grade level

 Identify need and advocate for additional resources or interventions for students

 Adapt lesson plans in response to students’ learning pace and interests

 Create educational materials to aid in teaching lessons

 Manage students’ behaviour during class and recess enforcing appropriate consequences

 Continuously develop meaningful relationships with students’

 Created scheduled class activities and projects

My preferred methods are;

1. Communicative language teaching

The focus of this method is to enable the learner to communicate effectively and appropriately in the various situations he/or she would be likely to find themselves in.

The content of CLT courses are functions such as inviting, suggesting, complaining or notions such as the expression of time, quantity, location.

and,

2. Task-based language learning

The focus of the teaching is on the completion of a task which in itself is interesting to the learners. Learners use the language they already have to complete the task and there is little correction of errors.
