I teach English. VS. I am teaching English.

As an English teacher, if he says, "I am teaching English.", he thinks the job is temporary? Should it be "I teach English"?


And when I put 'nowadays', which one is natural?


Thank you so much as usual.

It would not be that if, for instance, the question were 'What are you doing now?'
