Are we witnessing the start of a new trend?
In Ajarn Street: Articles - 23rd August 2010

The blatant discrimination in TEFL job ads
In Blogs: Phil Roeland - 27th May 2010

I am fluent in both French and English. My students were told I was French but I always told them I was African - born and raised in France. If you dont like my teaching methodologies, they can bring in another teacher but i am not gonna lie about anything.
