Insight, Advice and Commentary for the ESL / EFL Employer, Administrator and Hiring Manager

The future of English language teaching: more students, taking more exams and using more technology

English Teaching Professional magazine has published results of a survey of teachers in over 110 countries on their opinions on the future of English language teaching. Sixty-six percent of teachers thought there would be an increase in the importance of English as a global language over the next ten years and over 80 percent thought that the numbers of students would increase accordingly

Some employers fear that by investing in teacher development they are merely grooming a teacher to move on to a better job elsewhere. Well yes, the profession is pretty fluid and, frankly, teacher movement will happen anyway. What's far more important is that your school gains a reputation for professional, up-to-date teaching, so you can't afford to let your staff stagnate. But it doesn't have to cost the earth. You can start by looking at the talent under your nose

How do you think of teachers? As employees? Subordinates? Shop-floor workers? Good teachers keep students happy and happy students recommend your school to their friends. It's a virtuous cycle. If you want to keep the good staff that enhance your school's reputation, then start thinking of teachers as stakeholders in your school
