To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing this letter to express my utmost interest in applying for the English Language Education (ELE) teaching position in your school district. As a 2020 graduate of the Master of Arts in Education program at Michigan State University with ten years experience as an EFL educator in China, I dedicate much of my time to the education and wellbeing of my students both inside and outside of the classroom like the devoted educators in your district. I am TEFL certified and am currently enrolled in a teacher preparation program in order to become fully licensed.
Graduating with honors, I pride myself on a diligent work ethic. This past year, I have been the EFL instructor to over six classes, totaling 150 Chinese first grade students. As communication is vital to such a vivacious group, I will often speak with the students in both English and Mandarin to oversee classroom management. I have received a level four rating (intermediate) on the national Chinese Proficiency Test. Through my efforts, I have been awarded twice — Excellent Teacher Award and New Teachers Award — for my inclusive, resourceful classroom pedagogy.
It is my intent to help the school and the district grow and further explore what positive outcomes can be reached for English language learners. This is an exceptionally diverse population that requires a specialized curriculum and caring teachers who strive to understand who they were in the past, who they are now, and who they may be in the future. Students will understand differences are advantages and our classroom will be a carefully guarded space of reflection. Within my community, not just the classroom or school, I seek to create a global environment where all languages and cultures are wholeheartedly accepted and celebrated for their own uniqueness.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to receiving the opportunity to speak further with you and learn more about the position.
Best,
Jessica Ward

敬启者，
我写这封信是为了表达我对在您所在学区申请英语作为第二语言（ESL）教学职位的最大兴趣。 作为密歇根州立大学2020年教育硕士课程的毕业生，在中国有十多年的外语教育经验，我将自己的大部分时间都花在了教室内外的学生的教育和福祉上。 您所在地区的专门教育者。 我已通过TEFL认证，并且目前已参加教师预备课程，以便获得完全许可。
我以优异的成绩毕业，以勤奋的职业道德为荣。 去年，我担任ESL讲师超过6个班级，总共有150名中国一年级学生。 由于交流对于如此活跃的团队至关重要，因此我经常会用英语和普通话与学生交谈，以监督课堂管理。 我已经获得了全国汉语水平考试的四级（中级）评级。 通过我的努力，我以包容，足智多谋的课堂教学法获得了两次“优秀教师奖”和“新教师奖”。
我的目的是帮助学校和地区发展，并进一步探索可以为ESL学生带来哪些积极成果。 这是一个非常多样化的人群，需要专门的课程和有爱心的老师，他们要努力了解自己过去的身份，现在的身份以及将来的身份。 学生将理解差异是优势，而我们的教室将成为精心保护的反思空间。 在我的社区内，不仅是教室或学校，我还致力于创造一个全球环境，所有语言和文化都因其自身的独特性而被全心全意地接受和庆祝。
感谢您的时间和考虑。 我期待着有机会与您进一步交谈，并进一步了解该职位。
谢谢,
Jessica Ward
