Esl Teacher Interview Questions

"English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers are involved instructors who enable children from different backgrounds to learn English for use in everyday life. In an interview, expect to answer questions about your teaching style, philosophy towards ESL, and ability to connect with students on a personal level. It's helpful to know that nearly all schools require some level of ESL certification and public institutions also require teaching credentials."

2,187 esl teacher interview questions shared by candidates

Most questions were not especially hard as long as you can think of a good example to highlight your abilities (which I guess I must not have done so well!). The interview began with them asking if I was interested in elementary or middle school even though I had applied for an elementary position online and it is clear from my resume that my training and experience is in elementary. They also asked what languages I spoke other than English even though it is clearly on my resume and I had just finished talking about speaking with parents in Spanish. It was clearly an impersonal interview, but I was surprised because it seemed like they had not even looked at my resume.
