English Language Trainer Shuchi Kaushal's Talk on English Language Training

The Journey of an English Language Trainer: From Passion to Profession In the melting pot of languages and cultures, the role of an English language trainer stands out as both essential and fulfilling. Shruti, an enthusiastic English language trainer with a background in computer science, has carved out a niche for herself in this dynamic field. Despite an academic path diverging from her passion, she found her calling in teaching English. This article will delve into Shruti's journey, the nuances of English language training, and explore the education, skills, positives, challenges, and daily life associated with this rewarding profession. What Is English Language Training? English language training, at its core, focuses on enhancing written, spoken, listening, and reading skills in English. As an international language, English holds immense value around the globe; therefore, many individuals seek proficient trainers to help them improve their fluency. Shruti emphasizes that while advanced degrees in English can be beneficial, they are not mandatory to succeed in this career. The essence of being an English language trainer lies in one’s passion for the language, commitment to continuous learning, and ability to effectively impart knowledge to diverse learners. Education Certifications Certifications play a pivotal role in establishing credibility as an English language trainer. Shruti encourages aspiring trainers to pursue recognized qualifications such as IELTS, TOEFL, GRE, or GMAT certifications. She suggests that taking these exams not only bolsters one’s qualifications but also equips trainers with firsthand experience of the testing process, enabling them to guide their students more effectively. Various organizations, including the British Council, offer certification programs that can range from one month to six months in duration, providing a pathway for trainers to gain the necessary credentials. Grammar Understanding and mastering grammar is fundamental to teaching English effectively. Shruti strongly advocates for the importance of grammar in language training, stating that clear and accurate communication hinges on solid grammatical knowledge. She recommends the renowned book "Ren and Martin" as an excellent resource for mastering English grammar. Moreover, she highlights that practice is vital; daily conversations in English are essential for honing one's grammatical skills and overall fluency in the language. Skills Presentation Skills Effective presentation skills are critical for success as an English language trainer. Shruti notes that good trainers must engage their students, making lessons interactive and enjoyable. The ability to express ideas clearly and confidently not only facilitates better learning but also fosters student engagement. As she points out, the richness of one's vocabulary and expression is enhanced through extensive reading and practice, enabling trainers to present concepts in diverse, relatable ways. Listening Skills Listening is a fundamental skill that complements teaching. Shruti stresses that a good trainer must understand various accents and pronunciations, which can only be achieved through attentive listening. To improve this skill, she suggests incorporating media, such as movies and audiobooks, into daily exposure to English. Listening activities allow trainers to model effective communication patterns, which can then be shared with students to enhance their learning experience. Practice Shruti underscores the importance of practice in language acquisition. Regular speaking and writing exercises are vital for developing fluency. She encourages trainers to integrate practical activities within their lessons, such as role-playing or diary writing, to create an immersive learning environment. By fostering a culture of practice, trainers can support their students in overcoming language barriers and building confidence in their English skills. Communication Skills As a language trainer, strong communication skills are indispensable. Shruti believes that the ability to convey complex ideas in simple terms is key to effective teaching. This encompasses not just spoken communication but also written expertise, which is crucial when preparing lesson materials or providing feedback. A proficient trainer must adapt their communication style to meet the unique needs of students from diverse backgrounds. Well Read Being well-read enriches a trainer's knowledge base and enhances their ability to relate to students. Shruti advises aspiring trainers to keep updated on various topics and current events by reading newspapers, books, and articles. This not only broadens their intellectual horizons but also allows them to connect with students of different ages and interests, fostering a dynamic learning environment. Positives Opportunities The opportunities for an English language trainer are vast and varied. Shruti highlights that there are no geographical restrictions or limitations regarding the audience one can teach. Whether in urban centers or rural settings, the demand for English language training remains strong. Additionally, international markets such as Dubai and China are ripe with possibilities for trainers seeking to expand their career horizons beyond their home countries. Respect As an English language trainer, one earns significant respect within the community. Shruti reflects on how being perceived as knowledgeable and helpful brings a sense of fulfillment to her role. Students often come to trainers with aspirations of improving their language skills, and trainers who excel in this profession are seen as valuable mentors in their lives. Own Boss The flexibility of being one's own boss is another attractive feature of this profession. Shruti emphasizes that trainers can set their schedules, making it easier to balance personal and professional commitments. This autonomy allows for a work-life balance that many aspire to achieve, whether running a language institute, tutoring privately, or working for corporations. Satisfaction The intrinsic satisfaction derived from witnessing a student succeed is unparalleled in this profession. For Shruti, the joy of helping someone overcome language barriers or achieve their dreams—such as passing the IELTS to study abroad—is deeply rewarding. Each success story reinforces the importance of her work and motivates her to continue making a positive impact in her students' lives. Monetary Benefits Financially, the career of an English language trainer can be lucrative. Shruti notes that, with dedication and effort, trainers can command good salaries, whether as freelancers or in corporate roles. The potential for growth is considerable as one gains experience and builds a reputation in the field. Challenges Teaching Different Age Groups One of the primary challenges facing English language trainers is the need to teach diverse age groups, each with unique learning styles and expectations. Shruti acknowledges that tailoring lessons to engage children, adults, or seniors requires adaptability and creativity. The ability to switch teaching methodologies to suit different learners' needs can be a daunting yet essential skill for trainers. Students Expectations Managing students' expectations presents another ongoing challenge. Many learners arrive with preconceived notions about how quickly they should learn English, often expecting instant results. Shruti emphasizes the necessity for trainers to set realistic timelines and encourage a mindset of lifelong learning, imparting the idea that fluency is a journey rather than a destination. Patience Patience is crucial for any educator, especially for language trainers. Shruti speaks to the need for empathy and understanding when working with students who may struggle or take longer to grasp concepts. Each student's learning pace differs, necessitating trainers to foster an environment of support and encouragement, which can sometimes be frustrating but ultimately rewarding. A Day Of English Language Training A typical day for an English language trainer can be both structured and flexible. Shruti describes her morning routine, which includes reading to inspire ideas and writing in her diary to plan her lessons. Depending on her students, classes may last anywhere from 45 minutes to three hours, allowing time for comprehensive skill development in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Shruti also emphasizes the importance of integrating enjoyable activities during lessons, such as watching movies or engaging in interactive discussions, which enrich the learning experience and keep both students and trainers motivated. In conclusion, the path of an English language trainer is paved with opportunities for personal and professional growth, underscored by a genuine love for the language. As Shruti’s story illustrates, this career not only demands a unique set of skills but also offers great rewards in the form of respect, flexibility, and the satisfaction of making a meaningful impact on learners’ lives. It is a vibrant field that continues to thrive, adapting to the needs of students across the globe.

Teaching English is a great challenge, because teaching, whatever the subject one has to teach students, is a permanent challenge. Even more so, English is doubly a challenge because you have to teach children not only to talk but to think in a different language. To teach English, and the cultures of the countries where it is spoken, is to open the minds of children, who perhaps through the language, realize the possibilities they have to know other ways of thinking, other ways of living. In short is to teach them that communication is not only in Spanish but there are other human groups, other human cultures, that have a different language and is good to learn them. And since English is a universal language, not one, but the universal language, the challenge becomes more exciting.

"I studied English because it seemed to me that it was a career that was going to have a lot of job opportunities, and I was not mistaken, and to take advantage of the year i lived with Americans when i went abroad with a student scholarship, which gave me a good level of English to begin with. I studied in the UNT, in the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters, and while studying English, that was what would allow me to live, I studied philosophy that was what I was passionate about. I graduated as a teacher in English and i got my degree in philosophy in 1974 and 1977 respectively. By paternal suggestion I decided to set up an English academy with which I was able to build my own company, still running today with branches in the south of my province. In addition to teaching English in my academy, i taught English in a private secondary institution and in the UNSTA. Also, along with English, i taught many other things like anthropology, epistemology, logic and psychology, but in fact most of my working hours were dedicated to English. I made several trips to the United States with students from my academy, seeking to have them inmerge in the language, which is necessary to speak it."
