We must become aware of the different do's and don't in that country. Awareness of the different practices and beliefs on the country where we are about to teach is considered important since it will also help us to minimize the occurrence of misunderstanding between our students, co-workers, parents and employers. Thus, having a background with regards to their culture leads us to respect them in a proper way that are acceptable in their beliefs and practices. Meanwhile, this unit also entails the different pointers when it comes to applying a job especially as an ESL teacher. It tackles how to make a sample CV/resume together with a proper cover letter.
