Sir:
Greetings!
May I apply as an EFL teacher in your school. I am confident that my experience and skills
would be an asset to your students learning and progress.
I completed Bachelor in Elementary Education at the Ifugao State University, Tinoc campus last
March 30, 2015. I passed the Licensure Examination for Teachers given last September 27,
2015. I also finished a one year Medical Assistant Course at Meridian Paramedical and
Technical College, Baguio City last June 2007. Furthermore, I took up ICT Training at the
National Institute of Information Technology (NIIT) last March 14-19, 2016. Recently, I
completed the TALK ACADEMYs 32-hour training for ESL teachers conducted on July 26, 2016
to August 3, 2016.
My primary teaching experience was during my internship at the Tinoc Central School,
Poblacion, Tinoc, Ifugao last November 24, 2014 up to February 20, 2015. Moreover, I had
experience teaching English grammar to foreign students, Koreans and Taiwanese for three
weeks only. I am passionate, enthusiastic and love to be with young and adult learners.
I look forward to hearing from you soon at your convenience to further discuss my qualifications.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

How to be an Effective EFL Teacher
3. Be overly prepared.
If you don't have a clear lesson-plan down on paper, then make sure you have a mental one. You should
know about how long each activity will take and have an additional activity prepared in case you have
extra time.
4. Always consider the learners' needs when preparing for each lesson.
Why are your students studying English? How will they use English in the future? What do they need to
learn? If many of the students are going to study abroad at an American university, for example, then the
teacher should be preparing them for listening to academic lectures and academic reading to some
extent. If, on the other hand, most of the students have no perceived need for English in the future,
perhaps you should be focusing on useful skills that they may use in the future, but may not be
essential--skills such as understanding movie dialog, listening to music, writing an email to a pen pal,
etc.
9. Don't assume that your class textbook has the language that your students need or want to learn.
Most textbooks follow the same tired, boring pattern and include the same major functions, grammar
and vocabulary. The main reason for this is not scientific at all--it is the publisher's unwillingness to take
a risk by publishing something new. Also, by trying to please all teachers publishers force authors to
water down their materials to the extent of being unnatural at times. It is the teacher's responsibility to
add any extra necessary vocabulary, functions, grammar, or topics that you feel the students may want
or need.
10. Don't assume (falsely) that the class textbook will work.
Some activities in EFL textbooks fall apart completely in real classroom usage. It is hard to believe that
some of them have actually been piloted. Many activities must be modified to make them work, and
some have to be scrapped completely.
11. Choose your class textbooks very carefully.
Most teachers and students are dissatisfied with textbooks currently available. Nevertheless, it is
essential that you choose a textbook that is truly communicative and meets the needs of your students.
27. Circulate.
Move about the classroom. At times sit with groups and monitor, as well as joining in on the
communication. At times walk about, listen and observe.
36. Be frank.
Praise your students when they are getting better, and encourage them when they are not doing as well
as they can.
37. Be a coach.
At times you must be more of a coach than a teacher. Push the students to write those few extra lines,
to get into their groups faster, to extend their conversations.
40. Be reflective.
Think about your own teaching. After each lesson is over take some time to reflect. Was the lesson
effective? What were the good and bad points? How could it be improved?
Skills required
Youll need:
What you'll do
Youll teach English to people whose first or main language isnt English.
Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL): TESL involves teaching English to speakers
of other languages and it most often interchanged with the term ESL teaching/teachers.
TESL/ESL teachers may work for public or private PK-12 schools; private tutoring companies;
companies/organizations; and colleges/universities, just to name a few.
Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL): TEFL involves teaching English abroad
where English is not the primary language. TEFL educators may work for international schools,
international companies, international organizations/associations, and international universities,
just to name a few.
English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL): The term ESOL is generally used when
describing programs outside of a PK-12 setting that are designed for ELLs who seek proficiency
in social and academic language; ESOL programs, which may also be referred to as English as a
Second Language programs, generally teach basic grammar, vocabulary and colloquial terms
and phrases to ELLs in a community college, community program, or online program setting.
However, states like Florida utilize the ESOL title to describe its academic endorsement for public
school teachers and it is commonly used interchangeably with ESL and TESL.
