What follows is a real email I received; while I have twelve past posts with real questions and comments on real job ads, note that THIS IS VERY CLEARLY AN EMAIL SCAM, AND MY COMMENTS ARE SARCASTIC and/or satirical in nature, and are meant for amusement purposes only. I’m not that naturally funny, so [...]

Paris. The only bad thing about it, aside from the labyrinth-like Gare du Nord, is that a certain hotelier decided that his “colorful” daughter would share its name. Really, I cannot speak French to save my life (anymore) and my bank account would be empty after a day or two there, but everyone loves [...]

It’s hard to imagine a country that outdoes Italy when it comes to the beautiful language, the “old world with modern convenience” atmosphere in cities, the wine, and yes, the Italian men too. When Jessica of the Bootsnall’s Italy travel resource - the Italy Logue - recently pointed me to a list of TEFL [...]

By Katie | August 13th, 2007 | Add a Comment »
I’ve had the opportunity to work with a number of non-native speaker teachers: one of my CELTA trainers, a later Director of Studies, and a number of co-workers (some who were also foreigners like me, just not native English speakers).

…is not contained in this post. But it is coming in some form soon. Cairogal shared a few examples of TEFL situations gone bad – one friend found out literally as his visa expired and he flew out that he wouldn’t be paid for his last month of work. Another flew to her [...]

TESall.com has an neat feature that TEFL jobseekers would do well to check out and utilize on a wider scale.

The purpose of this is to share the thoughts of an experienced teacher (me) - who’s found her own jobs before - on a random job ad, the details of which I’ve removed to make it unidentifiable. In this case, I’ve also cut out some of the more neutral parts of the ad in [...]
