If you need it to be paid by a grant, I don&#39;t really know what your options are.

I interviewed a german student who has come to England to improve her english in order to be able to get a job back home. She is a very quick learner, very keen to participate and use newly learned vocab, though not particularly keen on listening exercises. In her written work she has a tendency to use a lot of uneeded language- almost over extending her point. She has difficulty with using the correct tenses. she occasionally misses determiners and personal pronouns but not very often. There is also a lot of formal lexis- furthermore, usage, moreover.

Teaching my native language in a foreign country would be a dream come true for me. I feel I'm at the right age in my life now where I know what I want from life and where I want to go in my life.

Prague is a good place in that is is cheap, but there are many other places available, like Berlin. First you must decide if you want a cheap qualification or a beneficial (in the worth to your own education). TEFL, CELTA and Trinity are the main market leaders. TEFL can be done on-line and for an instance qualification is a guess reasonable. I would suggest any qualification you go for make sure that it has plenty of teaching (you running lessons) time. This will be invaluable to you later. As for the visa, I can not give yoyu much advice other than it is diffifcult and you would be advised to expect paper work and red tape.

CELTA and DELTA trained teachers are also weak in exam setting and also exam assessments. I would not say that having an MA TESOL is not as good or better than getting a DELTA. For example, if you have an MA TESOL from Brigham Young University or Utah State University, where they have a strong School of Education, you will be very well trained both theoretically as well as practicality. You will need to do at least 2 semesters of practicum, teaching English in their ELC.

I would very much like to teach English to Health Personnel in a couple of years time, and to that end am planning on doing the CELTA soon. I have a medical qualification which - back in the mists of time when I did it, some 35 years ago - was not a degree. However, were I to study for the same qualification today, it would be a degree. Hence my qualification is considered "degree equivalent" in my profession. However - and it is a big "however" - it would seem from reading job ads that someone with a BA in Lee's theoretical basket weaving, and a CELTA, would be favoured over and above someone like me, with a professional medical qualification and further study/qualifications in my original profession,...http://www.englishforums.com/English/MedicalEnglishMatureTeacher/kvng/post.htmFri, 15 Oct 2004 08:32:40 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:50513liz_zerro1I'm interested in the possibility of teaching English for medical purposes.

The DELTA certificate is taken later when one has more experience. Like you I am a qualified teacher and I did a CELTA course because it's obligatory if you want to teach in a language school. Feel free to look at my website on http://www.elanguest.com One certainly cannot be a teacher in a state school with just this qualification. As a teacher at Ampleforth College one had to have a Cert Ed Or a B.Ed at least. As in all schools in England.

So in CELTA you are going to be assessed as a qualified English Teacher & that is very tough especially if you are not a native speaker. As a beginner in this field, you might want to consider TESOL/ TESL first. MA in ESL is different, it's more academic. You may want to consider MA in Teaching English as a Second Language. To be qualified for such course you need to have a minimum of 2 years of work experience as an ESL teacher. For some university, they need letters of recommendation & they might want to interview you too. Remember there is a huge difference in Learning English & Teaching English!

So is every job market. Depending on a person's existing resume, an online course may be all that is needed to make the jump in teaching English. That said, in some job markets the term "CELTA or equivalent" is inescapable in ads for teaching positions. In those cases, an online/distance course likely won't do regardless of prior experience and/or other credentials. As the OP is interested in Thailand, another course to check out might be TEFL International's PELT .http://www.englishforums.com/English/LookingBetterGuestKamil/zlw/post.htmWed, 02 Jul 2003 12:05:34 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:1640guestI'm a teacher of English in Poland (I'm a Pole).

I wish to find a job abroad as I get pathetic salaries for full-time teaching in Poland. Where should I look for a job abroad? Kamil
