Q. Why I want to be an English TEACHER

A. Actually I wanted to be a teacher when I was young. But as I grow up I gave up to be a teacher. Because I was deeply disappointed  with some teachers’ attitudes. However I liked to learn English when I was teenager.

So I had got one hundred score on my English test when I was middle school student. And my English teacher was so proud of me.

By the way an soon as I get my promotion to the ninth grade our English teacher got changed to another teacher. From then on I stopped to study English hard. Because in class I was told to read a book before classmates from my new teacher. My reading skill wan’t great in intonation and pronunciation.

Since then I stopped to study English hard so that I am told not to read  a book before classmates. I hated getting  the teacher’s attention.

But now I think English is my destiny. Because several years ago I have worked for Global company. I had to study English again. It was too hard.

Because I had not studied English for a long time. After quitting my job I had to get a new job. By chance I was suggested a part time job for an English institute from my friend. Taking this opportunity I have been teaching English as a full time job at the another English institute. Eventually I became a teacher that is teaching English that is a subject that I was good at when I was school student.

I never think this is coincidence. I believe that this is a part of  God’s will.

I still love learning English although it is hard to learn it. And I want to be a bilingual person in English and Korean. I also want to be a great English teacher while I’m teaching English. As English teacher I am learning many things not only English. I have learned important things as attitude and mind the teacher should have. I have to teach English continually in my circumstance. And I hope to make progress in this field. I’m never satisfied with my position.

Constantly I must move forward. My aim is to go forward into the bigger world through English teacher. I might do much more important things beyond the English teacher in the future. I really think English teacher is my destiny*:)

Q. What I want to CHANGE to teach English

A. Most of all I have to improve my English listening and speaking ability to be an excellent teacher. Although I was trying to speak English better I have missed a lot of chances to speak in English because of my negative attitude.

If I were outgoing and talkative I could have spoken English much better and easily. I need to have much more confidence. It is very important to have confidence in every situation.

As mentioned above I was scared of attracting a lot of people’s attention. Because I was so quiet and shy person. I have always been self conscious.

So I have tried to change my personality through books and media for a long time. Especially the teacher has to stand up before a lot of students. So I know I need to go brave. I have changed my mind set. I believe I’m brand new. I’m better and better than before.

“No pain, no gain”  “There’s no free lunch.” To succeed I recognize I have to get over any trials and training.

I’ll keep trying to be relaxed and confident before crowd.

And I have not had desire and fire for teaching English before.

However nowadays for great English teacher my desire and fire  are growing bigger and bigger.

And the desire and the fire for studying English were also motivated much more thanks to the TESOL course.

Now I think I am having great experiences.
