Nervous About Moving Abroad

--- When moving abroad to teach English, it is crucial to ensure you have all the necessary documents and certifications in order. This typically includes your passport, visa, work permit, and any other legal documents required by the country you will be teaching in. Additionally, you should have copies of your university degree, teaching certificate (such as TEFL or TESOL), and transcripts. These documents will not only be needed for your job but also for setting up your life in a new country, such as opening a bank account or securing housing. It is always wise to have both physical copies and digital scans of these important papers in case of loss or emergencies. When packing for your teaching adventure abroad, consider what teaching materials and resources you may need. While many...  [Read more]

For TEFL teachers, there are numerous opportunities for career advancement. Starting as a classroom teacher, educators can progress into higher teaching positions, specialize in specific areas of teaching, or even move into educational leadership roles. These pathways offer growth, increased responsibilities, and often higher salaries for those who are dedicated to advancing in their TEFL careers. One common way for TEFL teachers to advance in their careers is by moving into higher teaching positions. This can include becoming a lead teacher, head of department, or academic coordinator. These roles often involve more responsibilities such as curriculum development, teacher training, and mentoring newer teachers. Advancing in teaching positions allows educators to continue working directly...  [Read more]

  Moving down our list of parts of speech, we have our verbs. The first big difference between verbs that we need to look at is whether it's an action verb or a state verb. Our action verbs, as the name suggests, mean that we typically can see these things in action. We can see people working and we certainly see people going to various places. Now, we have our state verbs. These are basically indicating a state of being. Two examples would be "seem" and "have" or "own". We have a sentence such as "He seems angry." and "I own my house." You can't actually see the action happening, even though those words are used as verbs. A very big differentiation between the two here as well is, state verbs typically don't take the progressive or continuous form. That form is the verb "+ing". As...  [Read more]

  Moving further down our list of parts of speech, we have our adjectives. Adjectives modify or describe nouns. Basically, they give more information about the noun. Here, we've used a noun such as chair. It could be any old chair. It's only the noun. If we want to describe the noun, we need to use an adjective before it. So, I could say "I have an old black leather chair". Here, we have to be concerned about the adjective order. In this instance, I started with age, as age typically goes before color and then I use the color to go before the material. This is a certain pattern. Depending on the adjectives you want to use, you always have to use certain patterns to which you'll need to be aware of when teaching your class. Another way to describe a noun is by showing possession. We...  [Read more]

  Moving further down our list of the parts of speech, we have our prepositions. Prepositions show a relationship between a noun or a pronoun and the rest of the sentence. We have three main categories: time, place, movement as well as a miscellaneous category that doesn't fit the other three. Here, we can have prepositions of time: before, during, in, at or on. If I said, "I work at eight o'clock," I'm sharing a relationship between the time "eight o'clock" to the rest of the sentence. We have our prepositions of place: in, at, on, under, in between. If I said, "The book is under the table," I'm showing a relationship between the table and the rest of the sentence. Then, we have our prepositions of movement. These show movement: towards, from, to or through. I could say, "He...  [Read more]
