I sort of have the opposite problem other people have. I was offered a job today teaching business English by virtue of my business background and degree, but I have no ESL teaching certificate. I know little or nothing about the fine art of teaching and am considering this offer to be tantamount to being thrown into a fire.
The recruiter tells me it's up to me to design lesson plans. Can anyone suggest a website where I could find business English lesson plans for intermediate students? I did a preliminary search but the results were not very promising. I see there are books on the subject as well, but the truth is I'd rather design my own, with a little bit of guidance. Any suggestions? Are there such things as ESL mentors/coaches that could bring me up to speed and teach me the minimum I should know in a day or two? Thanks for any input.
