In this blog post by Marie O'Sullivan she interview Garry Jones, who is the founder of Independent English and is a English teacher. He discusses what drew him into learning other languages and why he decided to become a teacher. One thing that grabbed my attention about this article was when Jones speaks about his experiences as an instructor, especially, the time when he was teaching exchange students from England and one of them caught his desk on fire. Not something I am looking forward to when I began teaching my own classes, but every experience makes someone into a better instructor. On the other hand, he mentions his best experience teaching was when they had international day at the college where he taught and that he could experience a small part of the culture of every country. After reading this post I further understand the difficulties and rewards of becoming a teacher.
