How do they teach then? Are they teaching students who already have some English knowledge? Your friends are helping them improve, instead of teaching from scratch? Its understandable if thats the case.
- dataman85 17y agoMost of the times they have some prior background in the language. But often you teach to very young kids as well, in that case you are usually paired with a local teaching assistant.

- ibsulon 17y agoSecond language acquisition beyond entry level should be in the target language. There are methods ( http://www.everythingesl.net/inservices/language_stages.php http://www.everythingesl.net/inservices/language_stages.php is a quick example ) that require no actual native language knowledge on the part of the teacher. I haven't taught a second language myself, but I am around a few people who teach or have taught languages, and I've picked up on it a bit.
- shiranaihito 17y agoI share your.. concerns. Of course, the people teaching English without knowing any of the local language would claim everything is alright. But it's undeniable that teaching will be more efficient if you do know some of the local language too.
