Thailand's number one TEFL site: Established in 1999 and still the best.
What's new on ajarn.com...
— Teaching opportunities in Thailand (and sometimes other countries in Asia)
Beware of several websites that are copying job ads ('stealing' is actually the correct word) from Ajarn dot com. We only post job ads that are sent DIRECTLY to us. An employer will sometimes ask us to make changes to a job description but those changes will NOT be made by the website copying the ad. Trust the info, trust Ajarn! View all the current teaching positions on the Ajarn jobs page.
— Do Thai students want to learn English from textbooks?
Most teachers in Thailand will use textbooks in some form and need to know how to use them in the right way. Textbooks aren’t universally popular but I wanted to highlight some of the key benefits and drawbacks of teaching using a textbook.
— "Thailand is a great place to kickstart your teaching career"
Our next great escape survey is from Stuart, who taught in Thailand for four years before packing his rucksack and travelling around South America, and then moving to teach in Madagascar.
Are you a teacher who worked in Thailand but moved on to pastures new? We would love to hear from you!
— What's Chaiyaphum (North East Thailand) like for teachers?
Smack in the middle of North East Thailand - say hello to Chaiyaphum. It might be an ideal choice for those looking for a more genteel pace of life. Any opportunities there for an English teacher?
Do you live and teach outside Bangkok? Please help us update one of our region guides if you can spare a few minutes.
— Send your letters to the Ajarn Postbox
If you've got anything to say on the topic of teaching in Thailand, the Ajarn Postbox is the place to say it. Latest letters include 'A class points system worked for me'
— Think about what students you want to teach!
New teachers in Thailand often give plenty of thought to where they want to teach and how much money they want to make. But strangely, one question not so many teachers seem to ask themselves seriously, is what kind of students they will be happy with.
— The best things about living in Thailand
The best thing about Thailand for expats? Just about everything. Many things work differently here; it does not mean they are wrong, they are just different. The easy-going, go-with-the-flow, patient, non-judgmental, adaptable foreigner will always be welcome in Thailand. Thailand will evolve at its own pace and to suit Thai people, not expats.
