If you aren’t involved in TEFL yet and are just considering going abroad to teach English, you may be a little scared about what to expect in a TEFL class. Luckily, I found a video that helps you out. It a practice TEFL class by a TEFL trainee in Mexico City. It’s a fairly typical class of Mexican adult students.

TEFL Teachers have a good sense of humor so it was not a surprise to see this really funny video from a guy who gave up his job and life in the US to go and live in Thailand. Like many new TEFL teachers, he fell into the career of teaching English in a foreign country. Join him as he looks for TEFL jobs in three different locations. It’s very funny, but it doesn’t quit seem true. He actually doesn’t take any the jobs because he has too much pride.

I remember when I was in university, we’d always try to find someone who was good at writing to help us write our academic essays. It was ok to spend a little money and then not have to do the essays ourselves. Unfortunately, sometimes we would find that the essays were mostly the same and we would have to do rewrites at the last minute. Not fun. As an aside, when I was teaching in Thailand, I read so many bad essays, I wish they would have gotten someone to help, but no such luck.

There are a lot of issues facing TEFL teachers today. I think one of the biggest problems is also one that isn’t talked about and that is the effect of a bad US economy on TEFL teachers around the world. I don’t think enough teachers are considering the possible impact or fallout of the US economy on their own TEFL teaching careers.

Career education is important for returning teachers after being abroad. Unfortunately, it’s tough to get a job teaching in the US after a long sojourn abroad so many TEFL teachers have decided to look for other type of work and some have opted to undergo training in a new career area. The medical field is a popular new career area for former teachers who enjoy helping others and training, such as medical assistant training, can get them into the working world very quickly.
