I really hope the vote doesn't take into account ELL (ESL) learners as I was planning to teach ESL in Pittsburgh or at least to get ESL certified for this upcoming year.
I still think the demand for ESL teachers will still be ongoing and strong as the status of English has become so incredibly global.

I would doubt that ESL would be affected since English is considered the language of success. I think this refers to languages such as Spanish, French, German or Chinese that high schools require for graduation.

Still, I think this is a great loss to the language learning professionals and future generations of foreign language learning. Foreign language needn't be eliminated and made obsolete.

I am quite sure that if salaries increased dramatically for teachers, more teachers would appear, as well. Like the professor from Harvard stated--there isn't a teacher shortage. There is a shortage of people that are willing to work for the low pay and in poor conditions.
