TEFL Certification Course

While there is no set international standard for what constitutes a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) Certification course, most countries will have requirements that schools must meet before handing out certificates. Sometimes the review is only cursory, but sometimes it may also be detailed and require certain content for the course and even the qualifications of the teachers. Here is a short list of questions about your school and its TEFL Certification course: Is the school licensed by the Ministry of Education or local education office or just by a business licensing agency of the local government?

Learning a Second Language When and Why

Can studying a second language in elementary school boost student achievement in other academic areas? Numerous studies suggest that this may be the case. Yet even though NCLB identifies foreign language as a core subject, only about a fourth of U.S. public elementary schools report teaching foreign languages, and most of these schools provide only introductory courses. Fewer than half of all U.S. high school students are studying a foreign language. Meanwhile, administration of a National Assessment for Educational Progress test for foreign language has been put on hold. In short, "much of the decision-making regarding foreign language study is made at the local level," reports the National Association of State Boards of Education.

Begin With Lesson 1. I’ve tried learning Italian through books, CDs, DVDs, tapes, and apps with phrase books and translation technology. Nothing stuck.

Redefining Success and Celebrating the Ordinary

I’ve been thinking a lot about the ordinary and extraordinary lately. All year, my sons’ school newsletters were filled with stories about students winning prizes for university-level scientific research, stellar musical accomplishments and statewide athletic laurels. I wonder if there is any room for the ordinary any more, for the child or teenager — or adult — who enjoys a pickup basketball game but is far from Olympic material, who will be a good citizen but won’t set the world on fire.

We hold so dearly onto the idea that we should all aspire to being remarkable that when David McCullough Jr., an English teacher, told graduating seniors at Wellesley High School in Massachusetts recently, “You are not special. You are not exceptional,” the speech went viral. I understand that Mr. So where did this intense need to be exceptional come from?

Katherine Hardy and her partner Rob, both from the UK, jacked in their jobs in the civil service to travel the world and teach English.

Q: Katherine, welcome to the ajarn hot seat and firstly, a big thank you for all the other excellent contributions you've made to the ajarn website. OK let's get down to business, tell us a little about how you and your partner Rob met and how long you've actually been together? A: We met back in the UK while both working for the government.
