]]> Comment on Making money in teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL/ESL/TESOL) by Marquis de Shady /times/2009/12/making-money-in-teaching-english-as-a-foreign-language-teflesltesol/comment-page-1/#comment-7319 Marquis de Shady Sat, 28 Jul 2012 21:26:44 +0000 /times/?p=684#comment-7319 ...and dear Mr. Writer how exactly would you conduct a search for work in Saudi Arabia without making any contacts first? "First, purchase your camel." tefl.com is the ideal way to find jobs. For the uninitiated the highest ESL salaries are in Saudi Arabia and Oman at the moment. For Oman you don't need Celta or Tesol, just a Ba or Bsc in any subject. You can obtain a false degree online if you search around, same goes for celta or tesol certificates. The Saudi Embassy actually runs checks on qualifications though, so careful there. In Oman there are no checks. The actual work in most Gulf teaching jobs is incredibly repetative and simplistic, requires little intelligence or innovation. Just relax and take the money. …and dear Mr. Writer how exactly would you conduct a search for work in Saudi Arabia without making any contacts first? “First, purchase your camel.” tefl.com is the ideal way to find jobs.

Although the initial immersion into the language may be more "organic" or less focused on grammar, somewhere in the intermediate stage, grammar needs to be presented. If only because the learners express frustration and desire to say things "correctly". : ) I teach ELLS in Cyprus.

My name is Heather; I have been teaching ESL in the colleges here in the US for the past 8 years. I also taught in Mexico where I picked up Spanish ( a little rusty now). My father's side of the family emigrated from the Basque country, and it has long been a dream of mine to live/work in the Basque area. It's difficult to find reputable schools where I could apply for jobs. Does anyone have any suggestions? To Diarmuid Fogarty ( or anyone who has taught/lived in the Basque country).
