umfaisal Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 I graduated in last year with a bachelors in SLP and I am currently in the middle east working as an ESL teacher. My question here, is this work relevant or will it benefit my application for when I apply to grad school?
LillyZebras Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 It depends on how you sell your experience. What are you getting out of it? What are the people you're teaching getting out of it? What motivated you to do it? I don't think just teaching ESL will be seen as amazing experience, but if you are able to explain what you got out of it - that will set you apart. I'd recommend keeping a journal of some sorts (if you aren't already!). That really helped me when turning my volunteer experiences here and abroad into my personal statement.
umfaisal Posted October 4, 2015 Author Posted October 4, 2015 Thank you so much for your reply. I will start doing that ASAP
