INTRODUCTION:
This
Newsletter
is intended to be not only educational,
but fun!
Work
well and play hard is a good formula for persons teaching English
abroad as a second or foreign language. Our newsletter is designed to
help you do both, or if you haven't trained to be a teacher yet to
inform you of the unique benefits of our highly affordable training
program. A newsletter contains news, of course, and in our case that
includes articles about persons and events in Thailand, cutting-edge
teaching tips and techniques, information about our trainers' and our
graduates' honors and awards,
and a way to help you get back in touch with classmates who did
our course along with you. Please send us your
own cutting-edge teaching tips, techniques and
information to showcase here, if you have the time (e-mail webmaster@teflteachthai.com).
Now enjoy!

you learn what you still need to bone up on. How high can you score?
