What are the differences of English teaching in public and private schools?
The knowledge of English is important for the intellectual development of the student and more when this language is completely changing the world. But, the teaching of this area is not appreciated in the same way at the public as private schools. In public education, teachers do not have adequate technological resources, class hours are not enough or even worse teachers are not qualified to teach English.
First, I was a student of a public school and from my experience, English class was absolutely boring, my teacher had knowledge but I was not motivated to learn English, the class it was always developed in the same way, we used the dictionary and notebook. My school did not have enough technological resources to students could work and for this reason, the teacher was limited to implement another type of activity. It is totally different from private schools where teachers have the advantage of using technologies to provide more didactic learning.
Second, Public schools are not spending the same number of hours for English subject, as do with subjects like maths, Spanish, and science because these schools not considered English significant. As an example, I am doing a practice in a public school with fifth-grade students where they see only one hour of class per week. Time is not enough to explain the different topics and encourage to develop the abilities that children need.
Last but not least, teachers have to fulfill a schedule and for this, they sometimes have to complete teaching subjects for which they are not qualified. In other words, a math teacher will teach English, if he does not have full academic positions. Making the education provided to students is not of the same quality as if taught by an English teacher.
In conclusion, is clear the differences between English teaching in public and private schools, where teachers have more opportunities to implement new strategies to teach English as regard as resources.
