Applying for Jobs Before You Have Your Diploma In Hand

From New Republic

Congrats! You graduated! Many TEFL employers want copies of your degree and not being able to prove that you've graduated can hurt your chances of getting an interview. Here are some things that you can do to show that you've earned your degree. These ideas were taken from the Foreign Professors and University English Teachers in Korea Facebook group. 

• Ask the registrar for digital copy 
• Ask for transcripts either in PDF or hard copies
• Just state that you've graduated but are waiting for your diploma in your cover letter 
• Get an official letter stating you graduated

How to Apply for Jobs When Your Current Boss Doesn't Like You

From V Productions

Getting reference letters can be stressful and it can be even more difficult if your current boss doesn't like you. There are a few things that you can do in this situation.

• Write your own reference letter. It's really a lot more common than you think. Even when your boss likes you they may ask you to write your own reference letter.
• Ask for proof of employment. Just the facts. Your name, date you started working there, and your responsibilities should be listed.
• Ask someone else to write a reference letter. It doesn't have to be your direct supervisor. Try to find other people who can vouch for you.

27 Tips for Staying Warm in the Cold Winter Months

From Her Campus

TEFL apartments tend to be old and drafty. Teachers' salaries often don't allow for you to blast the heat. Here are some ways to stay warm and save money on heating bills.

Clothing

1. Wool socks: I discovered wool socks a few years ago and haven't looked back. They usually come in at least three different weights: light, mid, and heavy. I have a handful of mid-weight pairs from SmartWool. Amazon tends to have good deals and Sierra Trading Post has discounted seconds. 
2. Long underwear: In Asia they are thick and black with fleece on the inside. Uniqlo is famous for its Heattech long underwear. They have tops and bottoms. Other people swear by silk long underwear. Thermasilk always gets rave reviews. 
3. Wear layers: It'll keep you warmer and you'll be able to take layers off if you go to a classroom that's super hot. 
4. Hats: This goes especially for guys who shave their heads. I know of teachers who teach with a hat on. 
5. Scarves: Whether it's a thin scarf or a thick winter scarf, keeping your neck warm will make a big difference. 

Window and Door Treatments

1. Drapes: Open the drapes during the day to let the sun in and close them at night. Make sure you have nice, thick drapes. Insulated drapes make a huge difference in cutting down on drafts. 
2. Bubble wrap: Put bubble wrap on your windows to help insulate them. Here's a good video explaining how to do so. 
3. Foam strips: Putting them around windows and doors will help cut down on drafts. 
4. Plastic wrap: Cover your windows with plastic wrap during the winter. 
5. Magnetic windproof door: I haven't seen anything like this in the USA, but in Korea it's very common. It's a thick plastic covering held together by magnets. 
6. Draft stopper: Putting these at the bottom of doors will help keep out drafts. You can buy them or simply roll up a towel. 
7. Put a blanket in front of your door: You can also use drapes. 

Housing

1. Let hot water stand: After you wash dishes, boil water, or take a bath, leave the hot water until it cools off. This will add heat and humidity to your house cutting down on heating bills and dry air. 
2. Ceiling fans: Not just for use in the summer, but running a ceiling fan in reverse can help push down the hot air. 
3. Use your oven: Bake cakes and cookies. When you're done, keep the oven door open to help heat up your house. 
4. Flannel sheets: They make a huge difference! I love my flannel sheets and switch them out for my regular sheets in the fall. 
5. Electric blankets: They're much safer than they used to be. It's a lot cheaper than heating your whole house as well. 
6. Electric floor mat: You can buy small or large electric floor mats. In Asia, people usually sit on the floor, so they buy an electric floor mat and spend most their time on it. 
7. Indoor tent: Indoor tents may be used by children in the west, but in the east adults sit on their electric floor mats that are inside their indoor tents. You can also find tents that fit over beds. 
8. Space heaters: Again, like electric blankets, space heaters are safer than they used to be. You still have to take precautions when using them.

Food and Drinks 

1. Hot drinks and soup: Drinking hot drinks and eating hot soup is a great way to stay warm. 
2. Ginger: Shown to improve circulation, eating foods with ginger or drinking ginger tea can help you keep warm. 
3. High fat foods: Such as nuts or avocados, can help you feel warmers. 

Miscellaneous 

1. Hand warmers: In Korea these are available in convenience stores. Many of them can be boiled and re-used. Amazon also has a good selection. 
2. Rice Socks: These are pretty easy to make. Take a clean sock, stick uncooked rice inside, tie a knot and chuck it in the microwave for 30-60 seconds. Some people put a mug of water next to the rice sock as it's in the microwave. You can also buy rice socks if you want. 
3. Warm baths: Take a nice warm bath if you have a tub, or try just giving yourself a foot bath if you don't. 
4. Exercise: Keeping active and exercising will keep you warm and burn calories.

Is the Middle East Still a Good Place to Teach English In?

Many people think that Middle Eastern countries are among the best countries to TEFL in. I've written about what it's like to teach in the Middle East before, but things change often. Like Korea, things certainly aren't the way they used to be.

Degrees
Although more and more people are earning their MA online, some countries will not accept an MA that was earned online. To further complicate things, some ministries within the same country will accept them and some won't. Some places will not accept degrees done online unless you can prove that it was the same as a degree done in person. Lots of hoops to jump through.

Supply and Demand
More people are heading to the ME, especially those with families. Thanks to the internet people are starting to realise that TEFLing in the Middle East can lead to a great lifestyle. While there may still be risks to living there, it's not as bad as the news portrays it to be. People can save money and still afford to go on vacation and you usually get a good number of vacation days.

In addition, more people are earning their masters degree. This means that it's becoming an employers' market: more qualified people are trying to work in the ME than before.

Salaries
It seems to be a worldwide trend, but salaries are lag behind inflation. You need to work more hours to buy things than before.

Safety
Let's not kid ourselves, we've all seen the news and hear about how dangerous the ME can be. Whether or not this is true depends on your definition of dangerous. Single people may be willing to take more risks than married people or those with children.

Conclusion
TEFL certainly isn't what it used to, but there is no utopia. Do you research and go with your gut.

Is Getting a Masters in TEFL Worth It?

From New Republic

Many people ask me if I think getting a Masters in TEFL or Applied Linguistics is worth it.

For me it has been. I have two masters, one in TEFL and one in Educational Administration. Without these I wouldn't have the job I have now. However, you have to choose what's right for you.

A Masters in TEFL may not be worth it if . . .

• You're only planning on teaching for a gap year or two.
• It wouldn't make sense financially.
• TEFL isn't your main job.
• You hate TEFLing and have a definite exit plan.

A Masters in TEFL may not be worth it if . . .

• You've decided to make a career out of TEFLing.
• It's becoming a requirement to get a good TEFL job.
• You've found an affordable programme.
• You enjoy TEFLing.

There are a number of masters that can be done online. Here is a list of hundreds of programmes around the world. You'll have to decide if TEFLing is right for you. If it is, I recommend getting a masters sooner rather than later.

The Problem With Level Testing

From Teknobites

Many schools have started grouping students by levels and requiring them to take a level test first. While this seems to work pretty well at language schools it may backfire in schools and universities, especially when English is a required course.

Although you would think that people would try their best at level testing, some students deliberately choose the wrong answer so that they're put in a lower level. The idea behind this is that they can get an easy A. Some schools are starting to realise this and are using official tests, such as the Korean SATs, IELTS, or TOEFL, to group students. If your school does so level testing make sure to gauge students' levels the first few weeks of class and ask your director to move students out of your class if their level is too high.

NB: I'll be on vacation in July and August. While I'm gone you can check out my other blogs. New posts at TEFL Tips will be coming out in September.

How to Set Prices for Private Lessons

From VK

I previously wrote about how to get private students and how to teach private classes. I also wrote about the dangers of competing with other teachers on price. So how exactly do you decide how much to charge students? Here are some things to consider.

Level: Very high levels and very low levels of English often require a lot of prep and many teachers charge more because of this.

Student Age: Again, the money is in the opposite extreme. Very young kids and business people often pay more for private English classes.

Type of class: If it's general English you're going to be charging less than teachers who do exam prep or EAP for example. 

How often you meet per week: Some teachers give students discounts for multiple classes per week.

How long the classes are:  A teacher may charge 50 for an hour class and 90 for a two hour class.

Commuting time: I'm against charging more for students who live further away. You wouldn't ask your boss to pay you more because you have to travel further than your co-worker. If you don't want to travel too far simply don't accept the student.

If you're interested in earning more money by tutoring, here's a guide that will help you set up your tutoring business.

Tips for Applying to Jobs Via Email

From Pop Sugar

Once you've got your CV and cover letter ready, it's time to shoot off an email, cross your fingers, and hope you get an interview. There are things you can do to better your chances to get an interview. Try these the next time you apply for jobs. Reddit also has some more tips.

Put all your docs into a PDF
There's nothing like having to attach 10+ docs to an email. It's not fun for you or the person getting the email. They have to download everything and it's easy to lose docs. Create one PDF and attach that to your email. Your cover letter, CV, and anything else they ask for should be in it. If you have a Mac it's pretty easy to do through Preview. If you have a PC you'll have to either buy software that allows you to create PDFs or try any one of the numerous websites out there that will do it for you. It looks much more professional to have a PDF doc and you don't have to worry about the other person not being able to open it or the formatting getting messed up.

Make a list of your documents you are attaching
I always, always list out exactly what docs are in the PDF that I attach. Having a list makes it easy for the person reading the email to make sure that you sent everything they asked for.

Limit the size of the attachments
Read the advert carefully. Many places won't accept files bigger than a certain size. Stay within that limit.

Follow directions
Again, read the advert carefully. Many times they will tell you to email one person if you have questions and email another if you want to apply. Don't email your app to the person you're supposed to email if you only have questions. Watch the deadline. Make sure to include all the docs. Be sure you fulfill the reqs, or almost fulfill them. Not following directions is a good way for your app to be deleted.

Put your info in the subject line
I always write my name, how many years of experience I have (either total or at that particular level, depending on the advert), my qualifications, and my visa status. It helps your email stand out and makes it easier to find if they need to.

Address the email to a specific person
Forget sir or madam or hiring committee. Find out who's hiring. Only use a generic greeting if the school you're applying to refuses to tell you who's in charge of hiring, which is always a possibility.

If you're not job searching you should still be networking. Check out how to write a networking email that gets results for more info.

Advantages to Teaching English Online

From Teach English online

Many teachers look into teaching English online as a way to supplement their teaching salaries. I put together a comprehensive list of schools that need online English teachers as well as which ones I think are the best to work for. First you'll have to decide whether to work for a company or teach on your own. There are many advantages to teaching English online. The list below has been adapted from Dave's.

• Extra money.
• You get paid the same no matter where you live.
• Many classes are 1-to-1 so you can customise your classes and get to know your students.
• You can work with students from all over the world.
• It's convenient. You don't have to commute and can work from anywhere.
• There's little paperwork involved.
• The future of learning is online.
• If your visa won't allow you to work at another school, this is kind of a grey area to do so legally.

If it sounds like something you're interested, you should read how to teach English online.

Fitting In While Living Abroad

From Reach Out

No matter how long you've lived abroad and even if you've married a local, speak the language, or gotten citizenship, you may still be perceived as an outsider. When I lived in China I worked with a white American woman who spoke fluent Chinese, yet there were Chinese people that refused to acknowledge that she could speak Chinese. They'd look at her, see that she wasn't Chinese, and refuse to understand. Kind of like this video of foreigners speaking Japanese in Japan.

Fitting in a work is another matter. The Marmot's Hole has an article about being treated like equals in Korea at work. The Chronicle also wrote about how foreign professors can have a hard time fitting in. Some people say that foreigners should be treated differently and others think they should be treated like locals. One thing's for sure and that's foreigners are different than locals.

Amazon has a number of good books with tips on living abroad. Here are some more articles about living abroad and fitting in.

• Dealing with culture shock
• Learning the local lingo
• Tips for living in a foreign country

Are Schools Just Churning Out Grads?

From alfordmedia.com

Many people would say yes. The Independent and The Times Higher Education think that schools and universities aren't doing their job. Thanks to grade curves and students being treated as customers, teachers are being forced to pass students that don't deserve to pass. Business Insider has an article about how As aren't what they used to be.

Teachers that try to stand up for what they believe in are quickly shot down due to student evaluations and not renewed. It's up to the admin to change this. Their goal should be to create better teachers who can in turn teach their students the best they can. They need to realise that quality is more important than quantity and graduates are products that reflect the quality of teaching.

Packing Tips for TEFL Teachers Going Home on Vacation

From Independent Traveler

It's taken me a while, but I've finally got packing down to an art. I don't have to ship items, re-pack my luggage at the airport, or worry about weight. Here are some of the best packing tips I've learned over the years. Howdini and Heathrow Airport also have some good packing tip videos that tell you how to pack a suitcase.

Take only what you need
I'd always over-pack when I went home for the summer. I'd bring way more than what I needed. Figure out how to coordinate your clothes. Leave all the little extras; chances are you won't use them anyways.

Bring old clothes
Going home for me means relaxing. I don't really need to dress to impress. I'm on vacation. I bring old clothes. Things that I don't mind donating to charity when I leave.

Buy less
Nowadays you can find most things that you need where you live or online. Natural beauty products and food can be found on iherb (up to $10 off your first order (Code: LNQ216)). Ebay is also good for buying things, though shipping from places such as Hong Kong may take a while. ASOS is good for clothing and they have free shipping. There might be local groups where you can buy things. Korea is a very transient community and there are a number of FaceBook groups where people sell new or used items. Craigslist is also popular here for buying things.

I buy most of my clothes from Europe so shipping is international anyways (US vs Korea). I prefer to have things shipped to Korea since the Korean post office has much cheaper shipping than the USA. This way if I want to return something I'd spend far less than if I'd ship it from the USA.

There are also mail forwarding services, such as Mall Tail or Ship2Korea that can help keep shipping costs down and save on suitcase space.

Use vacuum bags carefully
I find that weight, not space is often what people have to worry about. Vacuum bags don't help with this. They create more space, but allow you to put more weight than you normally would into your suitcases.

Forget travel sized toiletries
I bring full sized items, but make sure there isn't a lot of product left. This way it takes up space going there and I can leave it behind when I come back.

Bring gifts
It's a nice touch and they take up space in your suitcase on the way there.

Go during the summer
You'll have to bring less clothes and it's less bulky than winter things.

Bring an empty suitcase
My goal is to be able to fit all my clothes and my daughter's clothes into a backpack. One suitcase has gifts and things that I'm going to leave in the USA, such as crafts my daughter made or important documents. The other suitcase is empty. You can also bring an empty carry-on bag which will allow you to take more back with you. Be careful though, some airlines weight carry-ons.

Leave things behind
I only go home once a year, but I still leave clothes behind. I have a couple days' worth of clothing at my parents house that I wear when I go back.

Plan ahead
I start making my shopping list the day I get back to Korea. Over the course of the year I can see what I really want to buy when I'm back in the USA. Somethings I'm able to get online, other things people buy for me when they go home, and other things I decide I don't really want. By doing this I'm sure I'll only get things that I really want.

What Should be the Standard for Evaluations?

From Advance at Brown

Both teachers and students are evaluated, but many times different standards are used. At many places where I worked students were given letter grades. When it came time for students to evaluate teachers, they would evaluate them on a number scale. Students are familiar with letters and may think differently when dealing with letters.

Admin should decide on one standard of evaluation and use it for both students and teachers. Even within letters and numbers, there are a number of possibilities.

• Letters: A-F, pluses, minuses
• Numbers: 1-5, 1-10, 1-20, 1-100

By sticking with one method, it will ensure that grading is fairer for all parties involved.

Name Discrimination in TEFL

From Nigerian Curiosity

I've previously written about different types of discrimination in TEFL. There's lookism, ageism (too old or too young), sexual orientation, racism, and sexism. Name discrimination also comes into play. If you have a first or last name that may be perceived as foreign, be prepared for prospective employers to ask you about it.

I've been asked more times that I can count how I learned English due to my last name. English is my native language. My last name changed due to marriage. I know that because of it I have lost out on interviews. That's ok. I don't mind. I'd rather not work for people who are biased.

The same thing happens back home. The Huffington Post recently wrote about a man who dropped one letter from his name and got more responses from his CV he sent out. He went from Jose to Joe.

If You Don't Like It, Leave

From Tiger Tribe

Contrary to what people may believe, there is no perfect place to teach English or live. Everyone has bad days and needs to complain once in a while. I live in Korea and am not married to a local. I've found that people who are married to Koreans feel like they're allowed to complain about Korea and people like me, who have fewer ties, are not. They can say anything and if you chide them, they'll tell you that they're stuck and can't leave because they married into the culture. If you complain about any one little thing, they'll tell you to leave.

I have created ties in Korea. I have a job I love, my daughter was born here and goes to school here. She's fluent in Korean. I have friends, I do volunteer work, and get involved in the community.

No normal person would tell a foreigner back home to leave. You wouldn't go into Chinatown and tell people if they don't like it, leave. The same thing holds true here. There is no utopia and sometimes it's better to stay with the devil you know. Everyone is allowed to have bad days and complain every once in a while.

Teachers Should Evaluate the Admin

From Advance at Brown

Teachers evaluate their students and in turn their students evaluate them. Yet admin also evaluates teachers, but teachers never evaluate them in return. Teachers may also be evaluated by their peers and do self-evaluations. Admin will say this is because they want to help teachers become better teachers. It seems unfair for admin to dish it out but not be able to take it.

Many teachers have a problem with student evals since their job often hinges upon them.  Even though students aren't customers, they are being treated like they are. Some teachers are so afraid of student evals that they don't want to tell their students their grades for fear that their students will retaliate and give them a lower mark if they get a low grade.

I really think that if the admin believes evaluating teachers will help them become better teachers, then they should also ask the teachers to evaluate them in order to help them become better admin. It should be a two way street after all.

Better to Stay With the Devil You Know

From Tiger Tribe

I recently wrote about how some people may think that TEFL is a dead-end job and since the grass is always greener they might try to get another job. After sending out endless CVs and going to interviews and doing demo lessons you might finally realise that it's not worth it.

The unknown is scary. Even if you have issues with your job, or your boss, or your co-workers, you know how everything works. That's why some people stay so long at one job or in one country: it's the easy way out. There's nothing wrong with that. People like to stay within their comfort zone.

Other people would disagree and say that if you want to move on, you have to move on. In order to get that fantastic job you have to move outside of your comfort zone.

Stuck in TEFL: Is it a Dead-End Job?

From Simon Free

Although some people make a career out of TEFLing, many people only teach for a year or two and then move on. For those who do stay in TEFL, it can be hard to move up the TEFL ladder. Many people just teach. Salaries aren't getting better and the bubble has burst in places like Korea.

People continue to teach English abroad for many reasons. For some it's because of the lifestyle. You may only have to teach 15 hours a week and get 20 weeks vacation if you get a university job in Korea.

For those teachers who marry locals and have kids it can get harder and harder to leave, especially due to visa restrictions on bringing your family back home. People say they'll stay for a year or two and that can quickly become five or ten. The prospect of moving back home with a spouse and kids in tow can be extremely daunting. Middle Kingdom Life has an article about a man who has been teaching in China since 1999. It's an interesting read, especially for those who have lived abroad for a while.

All I know is that it's good to have a back-up plan. Nowadays it's easy to supplement your teaching salary or even make money online. There are a number of good books out there about saving money and retirement.

Same Event, Different Versions: Teachers vs Admin

Have 100 people watch the same event and you'll have 100 different versions of what happened. It's no secret that people change events in order to make themselves look good. Nor is it a secret that admin will not hesitate to skew events in order to get rid of teachers they don't like. Opinions vary greatly as you might notice in 50 ways to get high student evaluations. Below are 15 examples.

From http://simplekids.net/seeds-of-potential-2/

Admin: The teacher accepted bribes.
Teacher: My students gave me a coffee cup for Teachers' Day.

Admin: The teacher endagered students' lives.
Teacher: I moved the podium and it was blocking part of one of the doors.

Admin: The teacher let students leave early.
Teacher: Students had speaking exams in pairs. They were scheduled for 10 minute slots. Once they finished their exams they could leave.

Admin: The teacher was using the school's secretary as their personal secretary.
Teacher: I live in the school's housing. The heater didn't work so I asked the secretary to please contact the person who could fix it. It's their housing, so they're the landlord.

Admin: The teacher socialises with students outside of class.
Teacher: I went to the school festival to see what my students were doing. I didn't cancel class, but went during my free time.

Admin: The teacher changed a student's grade.
Teacher: I have dsylexia. I gave one of my students an 18 instead of an 81.

Admin: The teacher touched a student.
Teacher: One of my students tripped in the hallway. I helped her up.

Admin: The teacher took extra vacation time.
Teacher: My mom passed away. I let my school know and went home for the funeral.

Admin: The teacher lied on their CV.
Teacher: I didn't put all my certifications on my CV.

Admin: The teacher was stealing students and teaching them privately.
Teacher: The students had taken the highest classes available at the school and graduated. I started teaching them after that.

Admin: The teacher allowed students to use their phones in class.
Teacher: Yes, I did, but they were doing research and using their dictionaries.

Admin: The teacher skipped class.
Teacher: I got the flu and told the students we'd reschedule next week.

Admin: The teacher stole the school's books.
Teacher: I took books home in order to work at home. I always brought them back.

Admin: The teacher was sleeping with one of the school's students.
Teacher: We're married and she's a PhD student. I teach freshmen.

Admin: The teacher was drinking during school hours.
Teacher: The dean took all of out to lunch. We all had a glass of wine.
