 - and with a training directory and a country guide detailing schools, pay and requirements worldwide, it is easy to see why.
Teaching English Abroad is an excellent resource for the prospective EFL teacher. Unlike other books in the field, this one does not rely exclusively on information provided by the ELT establishment. Unofficial word-of-mouth information is equally valid and has its place. Easy to read and totally independent, TEA provides a fresh and vivid account of the risks and rewards associated with teaching overseas. For ease of use, the book is divided into 3 sections:
Part 1 – Training as an EFL teacher. This includes a directory of TEFL courses. It also explains how to prepare for teaching abroad, some common problems and how to cope with them.
Part 2 – Finding a job. This lists recruitment organisations, what to expect at interviews, useful websites, gap year opportunities, freelance teaching and finding jobs on the spot.
Part 3 – Country by country guide. This covers more than 70 countries with expanded sections on China, Argentina, Egypt, Australia, the Russian Republics, the Middle East and others. There is full information on prospects for private teaching, red tape, conditions of employment and culture shock. It features 1500 language school addresses to contact for jobs.
