就业领域 Employment About this section Kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, and secondary school teachers, held about 3.5 million jobs in 2008. Of the teachers in those jobs, about 179,500 were kindergarten teachers, 1.5 million were elementary school teachers, 659,500 were middle school teachers, and 1.1 million were secondary school teachers. Employment of teachers is geographically distributed much the same as the population. 前景展望 Job prospects should be better in inner cities and rural areas than in suburban districts. Many inner cities—often characterized by overcrowded, ill-equipped schools and higher-than-average poverty rates—and rural areas—characterized by their remote location and relatively low salaries—have difficulty attracting and retaining enough teachers. Currently, many school districts have difficulty hiring qualified teachers in some subject areas—most often mathematics, science (especially chemistry and physics), bilingual education, and foreign languages. Increasing enrollments of minorities, coupled with a shortage of minority teachers, should cause efforts to recruit minority teachers to intensify. Also, the number of non-English-speaking students will continue to grow, creating demand for bilingual teachers and for those who teach English as a second language. Specialties that have an adequate number of qualified teachers include general elementary education, physical education, and social studies. 意向专业与就业解析课程 ——TESOL 职业规划部 孔 洋 主要内容 1.专业介绍 2.课程设置 3.申请背景需求 4.就业情况 TESOL ? TESOL引是“Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages” 的缩写,中文翻译是“对外英语教学” . 在美国的大学本部和研究所，像物理学,经济学等,TESOL是一门主修,其主题是探讨英语教学的方法和理论，提升英语教学的师资水平. （在美国,对外英语教学的同业公会也取名“TESOL”,常导致误会.） 英语教学的对象依其母语可分成两群: 英语是母语的人(如美国人,英国人,加拿大人)和英语非母语的人(如南美洲人,中国人,法国人). TESOL 的教学对象是第二群. 因为是“对外”，所以 TESOL 教学方法特别考虑到学习者的母语和文化背景. 以中文教学做比喻，给一个在中国长大的孩子教中文和给一个在美国长大的孩子教中文,教学方法当然会是不一样. 　　特别要澄清的是: TESOL 的主题是“英语教学”而不是“英语”. 取得了“外语”或“外文”学位的人不一定自然而然地具备了英语教学的条件
