Teaching as career

[Allie]

^ sis, i heard confirmed na eh.yung head kasi sa PNU ang nagbabalita samin

[phairie8]

I agree it took a lot of patience in teaching

[rejoice]

as i've mentioned here, i teach Koreans... there are two teachers handling this student... one teacher handles reading and comprehension, while I handle grammar and conversational skills... the original teacher for RnC, but she got her petition papers already from her parents and had to leave for abroad...

now, im having problems with the teacher who took her place... the new teacher, a male who just got his prof license, is teaching grammar to my student... the problem is, he is teaching the wrong things... i know this coz i read my student's notes, and he says he just copies them from what the male teacher write on the whiteboard... i try to correct the mistakes, pero pinaninindigan ng teacher na tama yung tinuturo ko... i am not a language nor education grad, but i've taught English in college, and i can easily recognize the mistakes, esp if very obvious naman... right now, i just told my student that i am his Grammar teacher and he should remember what we had taken up before instead of getting confused from what the other teacher is trying to teach him...

I have long been dreaming of teaching in college.  I already took my MBA and finished it last March 2006.  I tried applying as a college professor on several universities.  Unfortunately, none of them replied.  I have not even received any invitation for an interview. 

Sisters, what should I do to make my credentials attractive to universities and colleges?  I have no experience yet in teaching.

hi sister, i'm also working at a university as a faculty but not teaching. pero based on my friends' experiences, usually the department gets them after graduation especially those who are planning to teach talaga at okey ang grades. baka naman u can ask your department of choice if they have vacancies. iyon nga lang, you have to settle first as part time because matatagalan pa bago ka magfulltime.

Hi, everyone! I'm new at this site but I've found your posts interesting. I used to work in the call center industry but gave it up coz it was just too tiring. After about 3 years and 4 call centers later, I realized I wanted to teach. I took up 9 units of professional education but have yet to complete it. In the meantime, I've found work as an English Specialist teaching conversational fluency, critical thinking, and helping our students build their confidence in speaking English. I also teach Grammar and writing, as well as doing American Accent training. Most of our students our Filipinos and they have varied backgrounds. We've got professionals like doctors, engineers, accountants, businessmen and businesswomen, college grads and college students. Our youngest is a 3rd year high school student. We also have foreigners enrolled in our school. Right now, we have several Koreans, Chinese, a Vietnamese, a Japanese, a Swede, and soon, someone from Myanmar.

Although I've only been teaching for less than 6 months, it's been a fulfilling journey and each day is never boring. It can be tiring but it's the good kind. But mostly, it's been fun. Like what some of you have said, passion is the key in teaching. We can't be mechanical about it because when we teach, we give something of ourselves to students. And no matter how big or small the financial rewards are, nothing beats the gratitude and respect the students give me. Knowing they've learned something from me is what keeps me going.

is it advisable na mag take ng review before the exam? im going to take the exam this april

[pampolinous]

yep, pero for dlsu pinagaaral nila or may discount ang mga faculty

hi matchykoi, what other qualifications are needed to get a teaching job in a univ?

ok lang kahit walang teaching experience? i'm not sure about the phil system kasi, but abroad dapat may publications ang isang grad student to find a job as lecturer/assistant prof

yup. actually they will keep pressuring you to study. once you get your masters degree, it will only be a matter of time before they start "nagging" you about your PhD... i have several friends who were once dlsu faculty who got the boot because it was taking them so long to finally start their PhDs and additional research. then again, they all came from the same college (liberal arts) so maybe it's different in other areas of the academe.

ang alam ko lang nung ininform sila of their impending termination, meron naman in-offer na vacany for them sa ibang lugar
