Cultural Challenges while Teaching ESL: Andrew Weiler of English Confidence Unlocked
Andrew Weiler, of English Confidence Unlocked in Australia, shares how his own immigrant parents’ journey with English as a Second Language (ESL) inspired him to help others. Andrew moved from a job in Economics to become an ESL teacher, mainly working with Southeast Asians, Chinese and Japanese. He explains how different cultures affect the teaching process, the barrier of “saving face,” and subjects to avoid in conversations.
Highlights:
{02:05} Moving from ECON (economics) to teaching English?
{08:14} How Andrew’s parent’s journey with learning English inspired him.
{11:00} Fundamental Differences between Australia and other countries
{22:30} Having uncomfortable conversations and the effects on learning English
Andrew Weiler bio:
Andrew Weiler is the Owner of English Confidence Unlocked, a school based in Melbourne, Australia. He initially trained as an economist but ended up in the area of English Language Teaching.
Andrew, himself a migrant from Hungary, learned a number of languages including Chinese and Spanish as a way to understand the teaching of English. He has also taught Indonesian. He has worked in Hungary, Japan and Cambodia training English language teachers. He now predominantly works with immigrants who feel that their spoken English, while at times quite proficient, is still holding them back in their career opportunities. Since Covid, he has been working with his clients online. They mainly come from around Australia but some reside in Southeast Asia.
His unique approach built and tested over 40 years of research and practice helps even those who have tried everything and still feel stuck.
