ESL Teaching and Post-Pandemic: What Changed?
Altiné Moumouni
The pandemic that started in 2019 has shaken the world, and it
has transformed the way we interact, the way we work, and even
made us appreciate the simplest things we took for granted.
1. Pandemic creates shortage of qualified ESL teachers
Currently, there are still fewer ESL teachers willing to travel
abroad and teach ESL. At the same, countries like the USA
experience a massive reduction in ESL teachers. About 44% of public
schools in the USA declare they need at least one teacher, and 61%,
particularly of these vacancies, are due to the COVID-19 pandemic,
including 51% resignations and 21% retirements (Source:
Usnews.com).
2. Pandemic increases uncertainty among ESL teachers
The pandemic increased the level of uncertainty as nobody
actually knows what will happen next. The best way to prepare is to
invest in yourself and become a better teacher.
3. Parents may experience income reduction
Most countries, including the USA, will experience postpandemic recession, reducing households’ discretionary spending for
education. This may lead to fewer private tutoring jobs available for
ESL teachers. In addition, some ESL students may need to drop out
of school to support their families.
4. ESL teachers less sure about teaching as a career
A study from the Brookings Institution found that, during the
pandemic, teachers have become less confident about their career
choices. The researchers found that many teachers considered
leaving or retiring during the 2020-2021 academic year.
5. Pandemic increases role of technology in ESL learning
One of the biggest issues is the increased role of technology in
ESL learning. In most western countries, including the UK, Canada,
and the United States, many ESL students have at least some access
to electronic devices and internet.

Text 3: Extreme heat intensifies across south-west US
A heat dome over the US south-west has translated (1) into extreme heat warnings from coast to coast,
which continue to affect more than 110 million people.
Temperature records could be broken in as many as 38 cities.
In Las Vegas, the intense heatwave is threatening on Sunday to break or tie the city's record high of 117F
(47.2C).
It comes as soaring temperatures are also hitting southern Europe and Canada is battling the worst season of
wildfires in its history.
Scientists have long warned (2) that climate change linked to human activities will lead to an increase in the
severity and frequency of extreme weather events.
Elsewhere in the south-western US, hundreds of firefighters have been battling brush fires in blistering heat
and low humidity on the outskirts of Los Angeles.

Unsung hero: how culture influences movies and
storytelling
¹ Have you ever been immersed in a film, TV show, or book
and thought, "Wow, this feels so Japanese"? (or American, or
French, or Chinese…?) There are so many ways our cultures
differ when it comes to storytelling! A culture's values and
beliefs shape the very foundation of their stories, from their
underlying ideas and themes to the individuals who inhabit
their worlds.
² Maybe you’re familiar with "The American Dream": the
hope of achieving success through hard work, determination,
and initiative. Because U.S. culture values self-reliance and
personal autonomy, stories often focus on a single
protagonist who has to overcome personal challenges and
external obstacles to succeed. In the end, the hero is
transformed and emerges a stronger, more resilient version
of themselves.
³ Even imagining what a hero should be reflects the values
and beliefs of each society, and nearly every culture has their
own brand of hero! For example, back in Japan, heroes often
prioritize the greater good over their own desires,
showcasing the importance of duty and self-sacrifice in
Japanese culture. In Britain, heroes are often characterized
by their honor, chivalry, and intelligence (think: Sherlock
Holmes and Hermione Granger). British heroes often
showcase their wit, wisdom, and willingness to stand up for
what's right. In South Africa, heroes are celebrated for their
courage, resilience, and commitment to justice.

Examine the following statements about ‘Text 4’:

II. A way of paraphrasing paragraph 2 could be: U.S protagonists tend to grow stronger and through personal challenges because American culture seems more selfish.
III. By exemplifying British heroes as witty and wise, the text implies other countries' heroes are not as smart or valued by their cleverness.

Businesses are starting to introduce new options for
tipping at self-checkout machines, putting even more pressure on
customers amid rising inflation costs. Despite having zero
interaction with employees during transactions, self-checkout
machines at places such as coffee shops, bakeries, airports, and
sports stadiums are giving customers the option to leave the
typical 20% tip, according to a report from the Wall Street
Journal.
Business owners believe that the prompt for a tip can
boost staff pay and increase gratuities — but customers are
questioning where and to whom the extra cash is going,
considering self-checkout is done by the customers themselves.
“They’re cutting labor costs by doing self-checkout. So what’s
the point of asking for a tip? And where is it going?” are some of
the questions customers ask. But tipping researchers claim this is
a way for companies to put the responsibility of paying
employees on the customer rather than increasing employee
salaries themselves. Self-tipping is viewed by many customers as
a way to guilt-trip the person into tipping on something when
they typically wouldn’t.
Many companies told the Journal that these tipping
prompts are optional, and the extra gratuity is split between all
employees. However, experts say that tips at a self-checkout
machine might never even get to an actual employee since
protections for tipped workers in the federal Fair Labor Standards
Act don’t extend to machines.
Internet: <https://nypost.com> (adapted).
According to the previous text, judge the following item.
It can be inferred from the text that tipping reseachers and
some customers suspect that the tips given through
self-checkout machines will never reach the employees.
