Me getting the job:
Me immediately being hit with imposter syndrome:
#do you ever just. realise that you’ve definitely bitten off more than you can chew
#because that’s about where i’m at right now
#basically i just got hired for an esol job and i haven’t taught esol in nearly three years and when i did teach it i only taught it
#for a month; and i wasn’t the best at it. don’t get me wrong i wasn’t the worst. i definitely wasn’t the worst. there was a guy
#who just gave his students worksheets and said ‘do them’ and also never opened his teaching practice journal the whole time
#but like. i still wasn’t that great. both of my grammar presentations were borderline and i basically think i coasted through
#by being likeable and getting a good score on my exam
#and also the fact that i never had to teach the elementary class really helped. i’m too verbose for anyone who isn’t at least B1 in english
#and i am trying SO hard to change but when i panic i talk fast and i say too many big words
#and my boss has dropped the bombshell that a lot of my students will be complete beginners which.. is completely normal and expected
#but i am just SO worried
#you’d think introductory english would be easiest to teach but actually it’s really hard. it’s SO hard to go right back to basics
#and explain the simplest concepts. and i feel like a real berk acting things out
#so basically i’ve come up with an action plan
#step one is to panic which i am going to do until the books i’ve ordered arrive
#that’s step two. read the esol & efl teacher manuals cover to cover. internalise and memorise them
#step three is to watch esol lesson demos and probably act them out until i’ve got that slow; clear; loud voice i need
#step four is to check the website for the awarding body and see what i’ll actually be teaching
#step five is to go to staff induction. apparently my predecessor has left various resources and unless anyone stops me i’m taking them all
#step six is to panic again. step seven is to meet my students and probably still know nothing. step eight is uhhhh cry most likely
#step nine is i either get my shit together or i get fired. so uh. that’s fun
#anyway if you need me i will be implementing step one. ✌🏻
