Default Re: Boy Do I Need Help!!

Thanks for All the Great suggestions!!

However, I must not have been descriptive enough with my original post.

I will be teaching Adults in a "Free to Student" GED / ESL program offered by my church.

I will not need any certifications to do this. I just need materials, lesson plans, etc.

When I agreed to teach in the program, I assumed I would be teaching GED Prep, but the director decided he needed me more in ESL.

This creates an issue as I do not even speak a second language remotely near fluency and have no prior experience teaching non-English speaking students.

I do not want to, and really can't, back out now, so I guess I will stumble my way through for a while.
