Future Teaching Career Goals
Everyone has their own ambitions and
perspective toward life. For me, my ambition is that I want to be a professor
in the near future. Actually, I have my own plan. After I graduate from PUC, I
am going to open a language schools in my province and I will pursue my MA in
TESOL when my schools run smoothly. I am going to be a language teacher forever
because I have my own school. Being a
language teacher, I will have chance to help young generation in term of
educating them to have knowledge and morality in lives.
To be a successful educator, I always try
to set and achieve my future professional goals. Having been teaching English
as a foreign and as a second language for over 6 years since 2005, I have
achieved many long term and short term goals. From next month, I will be a full
time English language in private school in rural area, Siem Reap Province in
which I am going to run my own language school by myself. This new challenging
teaching position and language school director require me to set my new
professional goals and try to accomplish those goals according to my timeline. To
be a successful and passionate English teacher, Future Teaching Career Goals are:

I am an English language educator with many years’ teaching experience, I feel
it is very necessary for me to refine my knowledge of English language. As a
professional language teacher, I must ensure to teach students the knowledge with
100% accuracy, and share the beauty and richness of global culture with my
students. I must also learn the new technology which will enable me to teach
and prepare the instructional materials which reflect 21st century

interpret, evaluate and present information critically and creatively in a
variety formats.
3.
With the accumulated past teaching experience, I
will continue to study the new theories of methodology and pedagogy of language

life, and reinforce their newly learned language through the authentic
communication.

community to advocator English language by involving the parents in their
