What is teaching English as a second language like today?

Teaching English as a secong language nowadays has positive and negative aspects that we as teachers have to take into account in the classrooms. First of all it is important to say that in our country and in many other countries English is necessary in different fields like in businesses,job,etc. It has been one of the most important requirements to get a job too.
A positive aspect to learn a second language could be that it is a necessary tool to succed and also to get a lot of job opportunities that help people to find a better lifestyle. A negative aspect could be that teachers in many classrooms do not have the student`s interest to learn a second language, I think that is the major problem that we as teachers face in our classrooms.

Deykelin: I agreed with your comments. However, I believe that teachers must encourage students to participate in a variety of activities, so they can construct and use patterns of english language, for example, in specific "environments". It´s important to plan games, role play activities, video forums, etc, in order to consider internal and external factors (to encourage better relations or improved skills...)
