- Why People Tefl (teach English As A Foreign Language)
By: Bruce Haxton | - TEFL, on paper, is perfect: an exciting career, a chance to see the world, a life full of fresh faces, opportunities and experiences.

- A Free Gap Year? A Possibility?
By: Bruce Haxton | - There is apparently no such thing as a free lunch - so if that's the case, is there such a thing as a free gap year? The UK government launched a scheme last week to provide funding for 500 dole-bound graduates to head off on a 'free' gap year to boost their skills. The catch? Well, they still have to pay for flights, jabs and 1,000 towards the cost of their 10-week trip. Not so free after all!
So, I've had a think about whether it really is possible to have a free gap year. Her ...

- How Well Do You Communicate?
By: Brenda Townsend Hall | - I've noticed how many schools have difficulties that, when analyzed, are essentially communication problems. All organizations have to communicate externally and internally. As external communications affect enrolments, more effort is often put into external communications: PR, advertising, attendance at fairs and conferences, etc. than internal communications. A typical picture I receive is of a school where the administration exerts much effort in relating to its potential clients but often ne ...

I worked in the capital during the years of the IRA bombings and my greatest fear was of just such an event, as I used the transport system daily. Will people ever learn that violence is not a solution?

By: Brenda Townsend Hall | - Learner power is the topic of this article. I wonder how many school directors think about asking their students how they want to learn. The idea of conducting a needs analysis to find out what students want to learn is nothing new, but Im not sure if we are quite so used to trying to find out their preferred learning styles. I mention this because it strikes me that so many teachers come from the same mould, having qualified through courses based very much on progressive western views of edu ...

- How Long Is An Esl Working Week?
By: Brenda Townsend Hall | - It seems that some schools combine long hours with revolving days off so that teachers find it hard to recharge their batteries, let alone keep up the quality of their teaching.
As so often this comes back to cultural norms. Many teachers come from a background in which it is normal for the working week to run from Monday to Friday leaving Saturday and Sunday free. It can thus be difficult to adjust to working, say, six days before a day off arrives. Also if the two-day weekend is ...

Approximately 64% of the respondents thought they should have a degree for teaching ESL: quite a high "yes" because, as always, there were some "don't know" meanings that makes the "no" camp very small.
I am generally in favor of teachers being first educated to degree level. This is not some arbitrary snobbery or elitism. Teaching requires a trained mind. A teacher has to be analytical, methodical and ...

Our field has its fair share of them and woe betide anyone who uses one wrongly. Never, for example, say ESL or TESL when you mean ESOL or TESOL.
