  Teaching English in a Foreign Land: This week's top TEFL blog posts
After getting involved in twitter this week I've found there a lot more articles and blogs floating about. Here's my weekly round up of top TEFL blogs.
Uluru rock near Alice Springs

Escapism
An article about how-to-visit-australia-on-a-two-week-vacation on one of my favourite sites ytravelblog is excellent.



TEFL advice
I've never listened to a podcast before, but this article has several podcasts to listen to. It's on Cactus TEFL, a decent website on TEFL courses and jobs.

A blog by Tom Bennett on TES about how to tackle mobile phones in class provides some good tips.

This article called Top 10 most effective teaching methods by Derek Logan on ESL article is worth a look.

Technology in the class
I stumbled across freetech4teachers by Richard Byrne which is a great website for teachers with almost 20,000 following on facebook. I liked the blog about everything you need to know about wikispaces.

Have a look at last week's top TEFL blogs

  CELTA Benefit?
"I have just completed my TEFL course (intensive 2 week) and am wondering if it would be a good idea for me to do a CELTA course. I do not have a degree. Would the CELTA benefit me more? Also, do you think that the Certificate in advanced English and Certificate of proficiency in English are worth taking? "

  Alysse and the World: Finland: Sample ESL Destination Profile

Are you surprised? Don't be!

I know I said in the previous post that "Europe is the pegasus" of ESL/EFL teaching destinations, but with a few connections, a little knowledge, a certification, and some experience, anything is possible! I'll do a more complete profile of the Nordics hopefully someday soon, but in the meantime, check out beautiful Finland:

Finland

Some Country Facts:

"Around 5.4 million people reside in Finland, with the majority concentrated in the southern region. It is the eighth largest country in Europe in terms of area and the most sparsely populated country in the European Union... With the best educational system in Europe, Finland has recently ranked as one of the world's most peaceful, competitive and livable countries."

The Oxford Seminars' Teaching Certification Website has an enormous wealth of information on Finland, as well as living and teaching in Finland. Here's a nice survey of information from their website for prospective teachers:

Some Teaching Facts:

Monthly Salary (approximate): 1,000 - 2,500 EUR

Accommodations: Sometimes included or allowance given
Airfare: Rarely included
Health Care: Sometimes included
Holidays: Sometimes paid
Teaching Hours per Week: 10 - 30
Typical Contract Length: One year or less
Cost of Living:

Cost of a Big Mac = 3.44 EUR

Exchange Rate: (Feb. 2012)

1.00 EUR = 1.35 USD

1.00 USD = 0.74 EUR

Visa: EU citizenship preferred

...the "Big Mac Index" always makes me chuckle.
That's just the basics, of course. For more information check out their website. It's completely free. (For cereal.)

TEFL/TESOL courses

Post Tue Feb 28, 2012 12:43 pm

Anyone have advice as to which companies to avoid/ look into?
Average costs? Work load? Is it feasible to take the course online while maintaining a full time job?
How much should someone save for a four month paid contract in south east Asia?
