As many far wiser than I have said before... what you put in is what you get out. The real learning starts when you get your own classroom and start figuring out how what you learned applies to how you can actually apply it. (doesn't it?) And then, the same rule applies... what you put in is what you get out.

One of my best psych professors talked about a certain magic which exists in the bond between teacher and student. It is in that magic that the real learning takes place. I agree, and maybe someday I will figure that out...

What have you got Willy?A two minute finger extension course?

jarne

yes i do belive my presense in a classroom will be a blessing to any student.
But I guess primary target will be females age 18-20. I can do a world of good to youngster in that distressing age.
Apart from my excellent teaching skills, my pleasant and giving natur is a winner. But although im a giver, and a lover, a sign of appreciation, like a good salary is deaply appreciated.
Any info regarding a top noch educational institution for young ladies in Pattaya.
I feel the urge to educate and shear,.. so many things to so many
but with so little time i have to be selective

i do miss that crazy country, despite all the crazy stuff

maybe a tf.. course is something
john gleese as the principal

I'm afraid to say that many of you are or at least appear to be functionally illiterate. When you are making simple errors in choice of word, tense, basic verb-noun agreement, and spelling, I sense you have more ambition than ability. A program with an entrance exam and a final exam would go a long way to ensure quality English teachers are available.

Thought so. Irony is plainly lost on you. There's a surprise ...

Yes. It's a fact IN YOUR EYES, that teachers of English should be qualified to teach English (which is not what you said in your poorly expressed post). I have found a lot of teachers of English in Thailand to be perfectly adequate at teaching the language, despite being completely unqualified.

That's because the average Thai learning English is as thick as a pudding and can barely comprehend what day it is, never mind understand past perfect tense or how to use a modal or auxiliary verb ('where are you come from' and 'I don't sure' spring readily to mind), or how to stop stressing final syllables and hence sounding like an uneducated twat every time they open their mouths and speak English.

This is Teakdoor. Literacy is not necessary to post here, but I wish it was.

If you want to complain about literacy, go to the pathetic Ajarn website, home of the ignorant, uneducated and naive drug-takers and pissheads that pass for teachers of English in Thailand.

I agree, but I've seen much worse.

"youknowitry to ritebut myspeling nogod so i try to teach englihs inthailandiworkalldayforgod$ .... ad infinitum, ad nauseam.

Question: Why do the ignorant always seem to have their mouths open?



I'm not complaining so much as pointing out a fact, that if one wants to teach English, one should be qualified. Is that too much to ask?

inconsequential

Mister Fixit

I thought it was customary to use capital letters when using acronyms. So it would be CELTA.

Of course, I could hark back to the '50's and say it should be C.E.L.T.A.
