So you want to be a writer?

You'll need to develop a thick skin and actually enjoy being lonely

While remaining a great distance from being a “successful” writer, I have formed a few opinions which I would like to share with other ajarns (or anyone else reading this) thinking of becoming writers.


The purpose driven teacher

Self motivation and the teacher's heart

The Purpose Driven Teacher guides his students towards progression by using a pedagogical method that takes them where they need to go quickly, effectively, and efficiently. With a Purpose Driven Teacher, there is no time to waste; every moment counts.


Globilization at its best

Universal applications of ESL teaching approaches and methods

For those of us who have taught ESL in at least three of four different countries realize a major problem. All ESL teaching is local. What works in Thailand can get you fired in Korea. I know that from experience.
