This is a wonderful way to travel and live abroad. TEFL stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language. I have recently started a course. I am enjoying the wonders of the English language. As a native speaker I am finding much of the course quite straight forward and a relaxation after my tussles with Russian. However it is not all plain sailing as it is amazing how many topics were never taught to me in school, In my usual enthusiastic way I have almost completed the grammar module having only begun it on August 8th !! I used to think that multiple choice questions were a cop out, but now know that they can be very testing. I am learning online with TEFL.org.uk. In Britain there are many immigrants and so there is plenty of scope for teaching in this country. Doing this can make a big difference in someone's life, the difference between a menial job and a satisfying one. Being the teacher can also be most satisfying.
First of all thanks to Fat Prophet for your interest. I see from your blog you are having trouble commenting. To get back to my assessed service. Criticism albeit constructive is harder for some to take than others. I felt a little crushed after my assessed service but then remembered I had recorded it on my dictaphone. I listened to it all through and although my assessors were quite right about me speaking a little quickly and rushing from item to item, I was actually very pleased with the content of my sermon and how I presented it. So I have decided to take heart. I highly recommend other trainees to record your services. You can hear your good points and your bad and there is no argument about it, it is all caught on the recorder.
