Engaging Careers Await Grads Of Online School Programs With Their Degree In Language
The Department of Homeland Security reports over 450,000 immigrants legally enter the U.S. every year. The largest number of people emigrating here are Mexican (15%), then Chinese (6%), and then from the Philippines (5%). Due to the recent disasters in Haiti, this nationality hasn’t been factored into their report. Still, there’s one thing all these people have in common, English is not their first language.
Due to this, ESL (English as a Second Language) is one of the fastest growing teaching specializations. The truth is, it’s actually a nearly century-old profession. The only difference between what’s taught now and before the Great Depression is the languages one needs to know. The skill set is still essentially the same.
One of the first things a person interested in ESL should understand is it’s not restricted to kids from in school from the K-12 levels. It can also be adult education. It additionally involves more than just teaching someone how to read and write English. Many ESL instructors very often teach American ways, history and culture to those who just come here. They are many times their student’s first guide to American citizenship.
Another thing one must realize about ESL is English is not necessarily the instructor’s first language either. A number of the best ESL teachers were once either immigrants themselves, or the children of immigrants. Because of this, probably the first thing one should do if interested in becoming one is to sit down with a college career counselor as well as one’s local state board of education regarding the regional requirements.
There are a number of ways one can get the necessary degree and/or certification to teach ESL. Still, the most comprehensive is to enroll in an online or on campus college, particularly one known for its language curses, such as Chinese, Spanish and English. Getting a four year degree in Education will also help with testing, consulting and things that happen in the classroom that aren’t in the syllabus.
While those who want to teach on the K-12 or vocational school level can get away with a bachelors degree in Education, those intending to teach on the college level should expect to go on for their masters degree and even their doctorate. As it happens, one should also consult with financial aid advisors as there are a number of programs that will help pay the way whatever type of institution one wants to teach in.
One’s salary is highly dependent on what kind of institution one works at. The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that $41,000 to $46,000 annually is pretty standard for those teaching K-12 students. One thing the Bureau additionally projects is the number of positions for ESL teachers will increase by as much as 20% over the next decade.
Online ESL degrees will meet the needs of a growing immigrant population. What’s undeniable is that nearly a half-million people are moving to the U.S., at least legally, every year. Most of them need to learn not only English, but have at least some indoctrination in American ways. This means the need for those with their online degree in Spanish are needed and course online programs will get them there.
