Why should we study TESL?
The opportunity to profoundly impact the lives of children
Research indicates that teacher quality is the most important factor in students’ academic success. And there is tremendous satisfaction in watching a child discover new learning. As the poet William Butler Yeats said, “Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire.”
A work environment that is never dull
Teachers will tell you that no two days are ever alike. The variety of people you come in contact with, the changing challenges, the daily discoveries all combine to make teaching an interesting and engaging adventure.
