[etni] Fw: teaching english to native english speakers

Subject: teaching english to native english speakers

Hello,
I am looking for advice about the best way for me to become qualified/ 
trained to teach "dovrei inglit". I am not an English teacher. I speak only 
a little Hebrew, but am learning. I am a retired speech therapist, a 
self-employed artist, a new immigrant (3 years), and a concerned mother of 
three. One of my greatest concerns since moving to Israel has been the 
inadquacy of the english teaching my older children have received. I 
recently approached my children's principal to offer my time to teach 
english. She was ready to have me step in to the classroom the next day as a 
substitute teacher. I declined this as I don't want to be on call and I felt 
uncertain about my qualifications. Also, my oldest daughter was ready to 
leave home if I were to become a teacher in her school - no privacy for her. 
My original motivations were of course the desire to teach my children so 
that they would not 'lose' their excellent english skills. Now however I am 
thinking that I would like to be part of making a better english learning 
experience for other kids like mine and I am ready to get my feet wet in the 
next phase of my own adjustment to living in Israel. It is time for me to do 
something- I just need to know how to start.

If you have any advice for me I will be most grateful.

Michelle Lubash
