Teach ELL, ESOL, or ESL
The number of students who speak English as a second language is rising in U.S. schools. This creates a greater demand for ELL, ESOL, and ESL teachers who can teach English as a second language (ESL). There is a shortage of qualified teachers to teach English as a new language (ENL), to teach English to speakers of other languages (ESOL), and English language learners (ELL) at various levels.
Most states in the U.S. report a shortage of ELL, ESOL, and ESL teachers. Qualified teachers are needed for K-12 classrooms across the country. If you want to teach ELL, ESOL, or ESL, there are plenty of openings for qualified teachers at the elementary, middle school, and high school levels. Every state has a high need for teachers of English as a second language.
ELL, ESOL, ESL Teacher Certifications and Qualifications
If you are interested in an ELL, ESOL, or ESL teaching position, most states require you to complete a bachelor’s degree that includes a teacher prep program for ESL teachers. Student teaching is one required component of ELL, ESOL, ESL teaching programs. Some schools are beginning to include ESL as part of their other teaching programs. Most states will require you to take the state’s teacher certification exam as well as obtain an ESL certification. Then you will be qualified to teach ELL, ESOL, or ESL in public and private K-12 schools.
Let us help you find an ELL, ESOL, ESL teaching job. We maintain a list of current openings for ESL teachers as the demand continues to grow. Qualified ESL teachers are needed in schools at every level from the elementary grades to junior high and high schools across the U.S. We can help you find a teaching job in the region of your choice.
