What Is Your Field of Interest? My field of interest is to become a teacher of adults learning English as a Second Language (ESL). Community teaching has always been an area of interest that has been gaining my perception over the years. I believe that the increased level of communication that I have gained over the years is going to develop my ability as a teacher and even act as a benefit to impart knowledge to larger masses (Motteram, 2013). Teaching has always encouraged me as I get to communicate with a larger section of the society and even develop my credibility to communicate with the larger mass.
Being with students and communicating with them will help me understand the diverse opinions of students and even develop my level of knowledge (Mlynarczyk & Babbitt, 2002). The ability to deal with each student separately has correspondingly enhanced my credibility to meet with the individual needs of the student and develop my ability to impart knowledge in a better way to the students (Mullamaa, 2010). Dealing with adult students needs to be handled in an effective manner. Adult minds are quite complex and has a huge amount of diligence.
The effective communication skills and my interest towards developing the linguistic abilities among masses are going to act as an added advantage for the development of individual skills of the students (Mullamaa, 2010). Furthermore, I have always been interested to develop my individual interest to meet with the diverse challenges of handling individual students. This credibility has further enhanced my abilities to handle diverse situations and manage the individual needs of the adult students.
Although imparting linguistic knowledge has always been a tough job, it has provided with an effective method to communicate with the greater and diversified section of the society. Moreover, as imparting linguistic knowledge has been a credible source to identify needs of students, it has even acted as an area of interest for me to communicate with larger community (Richards 2011; Byram, Gribkova, & Starkey, 2002).
