Do I have to be able to speak the local language?

FAQs
No. In fact, many schools hiring EFL teachers prefer that they not speak the local language. They (and LanguageCorps) prefer an immersion approach to teaching EFL, in which only English is spoken in the classroom. Schools are concerned that if an EFL teacher is also fluent in the local language and uses that common language to communicate during class, students may not feel the same incentive to really learn English.

What if I don't speak my learners´ language and can't communicate with the elders?

FAQs
It's helpful to be able to use the elder's native language to explain difficult concepts, but it's not necessary. You must be creative in your attempts to convey meaning to your learner by using gestures, drawings, acting, etc. if the learner doesn´t understand. The best way for anyone to learn a language is to be immersed in it and learn through conversation, so continue talking with your learner and encouraging him or her to practice speaking.
