Describe some of the difficulties you have encountered teaching ESL. I don't have much experience teaching ESL students, but I have worked with ESL students a lot. One of the most difficult challenges I faced working with ESL students was making sure communication was clear. There are many dialects in English and many words that vary depending on the area of the country. I think teaching ESL would be difficult because the teacher has to model the appropriate language. Teachers need to find ways to communicate with their students without using slang or idioms. It is important for teachers to model the language they want their students to use. One of my friends learned English from his host family when he came to America, and the English he learned was not academic. He could speak the language well and hold conversations, but he could not write because he had learned a different kind of English. This problem is one that teachers face when working with ESL, and it can be difficult to modify the English they have learned and make it more academic. This is why it is important for teachers to use examples especially when assigning large tasks
