Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) is a general term used for teaching English including Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) and Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) as a certification of an English teacher in Malaysia. As a TESL Teacher, you need to understand different cultures and be knowledgeable of different teaching strategies in order to teach English to your students effectively. As part of your responsibilities, you will need to manage the classroom, create lesson plans and in some cases work with international and immigrant students. If you love language, particularly English, and knows all the ins and outs of it, you may want to consider pursuing this career. With the current speed of globalisation, the English language is becoming more important, resulting in an influx of people from around the world wanting to pick up this language.

Good linguistic skills
Having a good grasp of multiple languages, especially English and the native language of the people you’re teaching is crucial in the pursuit of this career. You have to be exceptionally great at written and spoken English skills in order to teach your students the best you can. Furthermore, you would need to be flexible with your style of teaching to ensure better effects.
Being friendly and confident
No one likes a grumpy teacher or someone who doesn’t even know or fully understands what he’s teaching. As a TESL Teacher, you would need to be approachable and ready to help at all times. Not only that but when a teacher is confident in what he is teaching, the students will put even more trust in their teachers too.
Listening skills and patience
As you will be teaching someone whose native or first language is not English, they are, sometimes, bound to speak in gibberish or broken English mixed with another language. You will need to listen intently to what they have to say to understand them. Of course, you will also need plenty of patience to deal with them. After all, that’s why they are here to learn! It’s because they are not perfect.
