How to Make Money with Your English Skills

I’m an experienced English teacher, and I truly believe that today almost anyone who speaks English fluently can become a teacher and start earning from it. Especially now, with the rise of online education and international teaching contracts, English opens doors to opportunities around the world.

Working as an English teacher is not just about a stable income — it’s about freedom. You can travel, work remotely from anywhere, or teach abroad on a contract. Most importantly, you control your own schedule. In addition to teaching, English unlocks many other income streams.

In this article, I’ll share personal insights and examples of how to combine teaching with other income-generating activities and how to fully monetize your language skills.

Dialogic Speech in English Lessons

Hello, colleagues! My name is York Fern, I’m an English teacher, and today I want to talk about a very important topic — teaching dialogic speech in English lessons. To be honest, this question puzzled me for a long time. It’s frustrating when you prepare thoroughly for a lesson and the students remain silent! I remember my very first lesson: I asked a simple question in English and was met with nothing but awkward silence.

Sound familiar? For me, it was a sobering experience: the students knew the rules and vocabulary, and their grammar level allowed them to form full sentences, but they didn’t know how to apply that knowledge in real speech. That made me question what I was doing wrong — why weren’t they switching into “speaking mode”? Gradually, I realized something obvious: students need to be taught to hold a dialogue, not just memorize rules. After all, in real life, language is for communication and live conversation. Dialogic speech isn’t just an exercise in a textbook; it’s a skill that makes lessons interesting and realistic. Let’s explore how I and many of my colleagues approach developing this skill in class, which dialogic teaching methods work best, and why learning to hold a dialogue is so valuable for our students.
