• Some thoughts on ‘experience’

Meauxjeau raises the issue of what the word ‘experience really means. ‘You often see similar attitudes on forums such as this. “I have a BA, CELTA, and 3 years experience”. Left unsaid is the fact that this experience is in language mills, hagwons, etc. Posters often seem to think that this wealth of “experience” means they should be automatically competitive for higher-level teaching jobs, without any consideration of what their experience actually entails, how it was earned, or how they can use it in the future.‘ Join the discussion here.
