My own experiences

Postbox letter from Wendy Williams

In reply to previous posts about unqualified teachers and the great and plentiful jobs that are supposedly available - I have to disagree

The ABCs of NOT securing a job.

Postbox letter from Quick Rant

Bonkers!

Postbox letter from Rob

Why do I have to take this stupid TOEIC test?


Getting ready for 2015

What will be the effects of the new ASEAN community on foreign teachers?

English is clearly the key to success and opportunity in the new ASEAN community. It is not only the official language; it is also the ‘world' language which is used across the globe for nearly all international dialogue and trade. English will be used at all levels of Thai society from 2015.


No degree, no problem

Postbox letter from richard

Postbox letter from Rob

Postbox letter from Mitch

Real phone conversations with real teacher agencies. I kid you not.


I've given up looking too

Postbox letter from Sir Heath
