Did teaching English (as a second language) change after COVID-19?
Covid throws a monkey wrench into everything.
I'm saying what? 10 time more from people who know English, wail wearing a mask.
I just underwent recertification for duty firearms, and none of my teachers and instructors wore masks. Most did not get #Vaxxed, either, according to them. They did announce it so everyone could consent to possibly being exposed though, but no one cared, and a sigh of relief actually washed over the room to know we were all in the same boat.
One female student wore a mask prior to removing it after the announcement, though, and she had just earned her associates in something or other. An immigrant from Africa, or so she claimed, and said it was an utter relief to be out of the, "constantly oppressive environment," of college.
Judging from my past experience in college and school in general, I can only imagine that pronunciation isn't anyone's biggest concern.
People are far more anti social then ever before. The masks was everyone more isolated and so secretive, very difficult to be alway open and be honest with people.
Dump mask into the garbage, they harm our fresh oxygen flow for the immune system to work well.
... also, children MUST see how words are formed by the mouth of the speaker.
We are jeopardizing our children's speaking abilities.
Also, I can't hear people as well when they are speaking through a mask. I really can't.
What effect will reduced clarity have on children's ability to pronounce words properly?
Childhood, 0 to 6 years, is a vital time for speech absorption and the development of clear speech.
Fauci once said mask promotes a great deal of fear. He was right, not now.

I would like to work abroad teaching English. But the number of options of courses to take to get a TEFL qualification seems a bit confusing. Is it better applying for the most expensive or is that not necessary?
