It is with great anticipation and considerable interest that I am applying for the job “English as a

Second Language Teacher-Language Gallery, at the Toronto School of Management, C a n a d a .


As a highly experienced and accomplished English language teacher with over 12 years of
experience, I am confident that I possess the necessary qualifications and skills to make a
significant contribution to your institution.
My academic background includes a Master's and M.Phil. degree in TESOL, and I have been
teaching English as a second language for over 7 years at national-level universities. I have
worked with adult learners from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, as well as young
learners in a classroom setting. Through my work, I have developed a deep understanding of
language acquisition and the challenges that English language learners face.
My instructional abilities, combined with my strong interpersonal skills and work ethic, make me
a highly suitable candidate for this job. Furthermore, my diverse traveling experience has
allowed me to develop a robust skill set of communication, interpersonal skills, leadership, and
management.
Currently, I am pursuing a PhD in Education, which has further expanded my knowledge and
skills in the field of language acquisition and teaching pedagogy. My research interests include
second language acquisition, sociolinguistics, and language assessment. I am committed to
staying current on best practices in the field of TESOL and have participated in several
professional development opportunities, including workshops and obtaining certification in
online teaching.
I have nearly 8 years of teaching experience at national-level universities, and I am confident that
I can contribute significantly to your department's progress from an academic, research, and
pedagogical perspective. Moreover, I have continuous experience in teaching and supervising
Master TESOL students from different ethnic backgrounds, allowing me to provide a unique
perspective that caters to diverse student populations.
In my previous role as a TESOL instructor, I designed and delivered engaging and effective
lesson plans that catered to the diverse needs of my students. I utilized a variety of teaching
techniques, including communicative language teaching and task-based learning, to ensure that
my students were actively engaged in the learning process. Additionally, I provided
individualized feedback and support to my students, which helped them to achieve their language
learning goals.
I am currently acting as a member of Curriculum Review Committee (CRC) in the Electrical
Engineering (EE) Dept. I have reviewed and solely designed different course modules for the
undergraduate based on Bloom’s Taxonomy, mainly Academic English/Functional English,
Communication Skills, Communication & Presentation Skills, and Technical Report Writing,
which are considered essential in practical and field communication in industry. My
responsibilities as a member of CRC at the EE Dept. of Superior University not only include
delivering innovative and high-quality teaching content to the students, but also ensuring that
other faculty members meet the same requirements, which can equip students with skills,
knowledge, and appropriate attributes for successful and lifelong learning. I also guide my
colleagues to design their course modules in a way that students stay up-to-date with newer
technologies for their continuous interest in the courses. My personal mode of teaching is a blend
of presentations, visual content, practical work, flipped classroom, and group activities, ensuring
equal involvement of each student. The use of modern teaching methods, such as including IT
and appropriate media, has always been my focus while designing courses. In my humble
opinion, teaching is not only a profession; it is a passion towards shaping one’s future in a
positive and productive direction.
Besides my teaching capabilities, I have diverse experience supervising Master (TESOL)
students. I am fully capable of supervising individual and group-based student activities,
including dissertations. I am not confined to teaching Electrical Engineering students only, as I
also teach in the Mechanical Engineering and Civil Engineering Department.
In view of the above, I assure the recruitment team that I have vast experience in teaching and
conducting research related to the field of teaching pedagogies, error analysis, and challenges of
English Language teachers, Curriculum and content evaluation. I believe that I am a strong
candidate for the position under consideration. I hope to be given a chance for the interview to
express my expertise in more elaborative manner.
