Dear New ESL Teacher

About this ebook
This book is written by an ESL teacher (who is no longer considered a new teacher) for ESL/EFL teachers with limited formal TESOL education, those who are stepping into this field after earning their basic TESOL certification. This is not a how-to-teach book. There are no ideas for lessons or activities, sample lesson plans or worksheets, tips on how to manage a class, build rapport with students, evaluate students, help struggling students, or deal with demanding students. None of that. This book is instead a book of encouragement and perhaps what one would call advice. What is written comes from the author's mind and heart based on her own experiences and is accompanied by prayer that this book can bring the readers encouragement and uplift them as they embark on their new journey.

Preface
Who is this book for?
Let me begin by clarifying whom this book is intended for. This book is for new ESL and EFL teachers. The title of the book mentions only ESL, but I did so only for the purpose of keeping the title from becoming too long. Whether you are teaching English to students where English is the dominant language used or whether it’s not used at all does not matter. I wrote for new teachers teaching English as a second or foreign language.
However, I didn’t write for all new ESL/EFL teachers. There are various routes to starting a career in this field. Some enter this world after majoring in TESOL at university and earning a degree or degrees. This book is not written with such teachers in mind. Rather, it’s written for those with limited formal education in the field, those who are stepping into this field after earning their basic TESOL certification (e.g., CELTA). If that’s you, this book is for you.
