If your students experience difficulty with spelling, what activities could overcome this difficulty?

There are computer software programs that come with spellers. They can help those students who need spelling assistance. Also, it is useful for the students to perform various kinds of written activities as often as possible. There are many games and spelling bee activities online.

What is the basic difference between an ESL and an EFL classroom?

Recommended answer:

There are some practical teaching differences between ESL (English as a Second Language) and EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classrooms. 

An ESL classroom is usually located in a country where English is the main language of communication. Students are usually immigrants from many different countries and nationalities. 

An EFL classroom is usually located in a country where English is not the official language. The students had never been exposed to the culture of an English-speaking country.

What can you tell us about Bloom's Taxonomy?

Recommended answer

In 1956 Benjamin Bloom identified three basic domains of educational activities.

Bloom's Taxonomy is a classification of the following learning objectives that teachers set for their students: 

• cognitive (referring to knowledge), 
• affective (referring to feelings and attitudes) and 
• psychomotor (referring to physical and manual skills and abilities).

Bloom's Taxonomy provides a useful structure that helps to categorize exam questions based on various levels...

Never ask these questions at a job interview:

• About salary... (How much will you pay me?)
• About your references...(Would you like to see my references?)
• About competitors... (Who are your competitors?)
• About promotion (When would I be promoted?)
• About office hours... (Will I need to work full day?)
• About any extra jobs... (Can I work from home?)

ESL job interview question: What salary do you expect? Or: What salary are you worth?

In order to succeed at a job interview you need to prepare answers to the above questions in advance. You can conduct some online research and find out what other people in the position that you are applying for get paid. The secret of your success is to get the employer talking about what he/she is willing to pay before you reveal what you are willing to accept. You should never lie about your current salary but should feel free to include the estimated cost of all your fringes (which could tack on 30% more to your present salary). In any case, you should be able to sell yourself based on what you would bring to the school / college / university, if you are accepted.

Possible answers

1. I really need more information about the job before we start to discuss my salary. Would it be possible to postpone that discussion until later. Maybe, initially, you could tell me what is budgeted for the position and how your commission structure works.

2. While my highest career value is not money, it is important for me to be fairly compensated for the work I perform. I would be willing to listen to a fair offer based on what I bring to the position in the way of experience and education.

Other recommended answers:

1. I expect a good salary in your reputed institution (specify: school / university / company). I believe that there is a salary scale and salary payment policy in your institution that would be calculated, based on my teaching experience and qualifications. 

2. I am sure your school (university / company) has already established a salary range for this position. Could you tell me what that is?

3. I want an income commensurate with my experience and qualifications. I trust you will be fair with me. What does this position pay?

4. My current salary is (tell how much you are paid) and I would expect a similar (or: a little higher) salary in my new position / if I am accepted to work with you. What does this position pay?

5. I am sure whatever I am offered will be a fair price.

6. Money is important to me, but is not my main concern. Opportunity and growth are far more important. What I’d rather do, if you don’t mind, is explore if I’m right for the position, and then talk about money. Would that be okay?

7. My current employer asked me to keep the salary information confidential and not to share it with anyone.

ESL job interview question: How do you prepare your students for exams?

Recommended answer

I usually go over the basics in the review class. I review when, where and for how long the exam will be held. I remind students of the basic exam rules, i.e. student ID on desk, mobile phone turned off and stored away. I also allow time for questions. I try to answer them as honestly as possible but I know when to stop because there are always the students who push me for the answers, the students who ask me to go easy on their exams because they badly need a good grade. In general, I try to keep the mood light because students are always nervous before exams.

ESL job interview question: How do you teach table etiquette?

Recommended answer:

I develop the following basic table etiquette skills:

• Elbows off the table – show young people how to sit with their hands on their lap while waiting for a meal to be served.
• Napkin bibs are not required - most of the time, tucking a napkin into their shirt isn’t appropriate. Show them how to place their napkin on their lap when they sit down.
• Be hospitable – it is best to serve others, particularly guests, at the table before serving themselves.
• Remind to use the magic words please and thank you.
• Toilet talk is not table talk. I teach my students relevant conversations while at the table and during this session practice possible conversation topics with my students.

Also, I give my students a helpful reminder – to avoid burping at the table. Also, I make sure students know that they need to practice taking small bites, waiting to swallow before talking, and using their cutlery at all times correctly.
