Hmm...I have dedicated today's topic to those who really want to teach. From my own experience, and the experiences of many others, those who say, "Well...I am an native speaker, so teaching my native language is easy" I have some news for you. IT ISN'T EASY! Especially if you teach college aged students, you better know your stuff or else they will see right through you! Try to read up on all the related 'teaching ESL' books you can find. Also, maybe buy a grammar book to make sure you actually understand the reasons why English grammar is, as the students say, so complicated. If you have the chance, sit in an actual class to see how difficult (or easy?) teaching ESL really is. I think even if you teach younger aged students, you still need to catch up on all the teaching formats, etc. If you have more experienced teachers in your school, use them as a resource! They've been there, and done that. They might have a lot of quick lesson ideas for you.
After reading this...now...do you really want to teach?
