This is a new one Smeg.

Did he lie to your face?

FatBoyEric

Are you claiming that he lied to your face?

Apart from Smeg, is there anyone else here who kk has actually lied to? True, he's always telling me that he has a large knob, and I'm quite sure that's a lie.

NokTang

He has the the very least been deceptive on the other forum.

Just so I'm clear. Is KK actually the guy "*" from *****?

cheers and thanks for your opinion or fact.

^ I'm afraid I wouldn't want to confirm or deny that. Besides isn't it considered bad form to out people on message boards?

blackpanther

not on this one it ain't..

NokTang

Generally I agree but only 99percent. When deception is involved it seems motivation exposure is in order. Sure, buyer beware but seller must also beware of the risks. Cheers. Nok the Kook

blackpanther

so you don't agree then numbnuts?

obsidian

yeh thats him

NokTang

Don't grasp your name calling.

I thought I was clear?

I don't think people should be "outed" UNLESS they are decieving others as in this example, tricking them into buying a TEFL course with false statements most of the providers are well known for. I don't know if it is him and the guy is a public figure, his name being on the advertisements etc.. Only in these cases do I agree with the exposure of the fraud if you want to call it/him that. He's giving advice as if from a consume yet the whole time wanting to sell his course. NokNumbNuts

Have to say that seems true. Click on the Chiang Mai University Language Institute's "About Us" section & you'll see most of the personnel have business backgrounds. The Director has reportedly written 11 books on applied psychology (hmmm !) and the Head Trainer has "worked in the field of ESL for over 7 years". (ESL in Thailand & China, or EFL, perhaps?! 7 years ! )


Looking for personal reports of the Chiang Mai courses. Anyone ?

teflwatch or ajarn would be more your bag buddy. this does be a builder's site

dirtydog

You a builder Paddy?

Smeg

You'll have to run this usual tactic of moving the spotlight off your sly buddy and onto me in more detail lillybean.

Are you trying to tell me that my actions of creating the occasional username to raise the type of topics than bangkok shill prefers to sweep under the carpet and hardcore TEFLers don't like to think about, hence which get branded as "trolling", is a major crime (or somehow related to boosting my ego), and yet kenkannif concealing the fact that he is a TEFL course salesman for Text and Talk whilst lurking on ajarnform day in day out to latch onto newbies by first handing them some "friendly advice" followed by then trying to financially exploit their lack of knowledge on TEFL in Thailand due to the mass of uncertainty that exists is perfectly honourable behaviour?

I hear that you are heading back to Oz soon. Good idea, as Thailand has obviously depleted you of any sanity.

^ Oh shi.t... there goes the Aussie IQ - down the drain.

FatBoyEric

Right then, I've had a response from kk. I think it may all be a mis-understanding.

This is NOT a quote from kk, just my abridged interpretation.

Apparantly some places do require a TEFL (private language schools like ECC often will tell you, you need one... but it will depend on the person at the MoE). It depends on where, who and what you're teaching. Also if you don't have a degree you'll most likely need one most of the time, again can depend on who, what and where you're teaching.

PS. I did see a job at the Ajarn last week which stated, 'Teacher applicants must have a college degree and teacher certification to obtain a Thai teachers license and work permit'. And I'm not lying.

blackpanther
