Yes, I have a lot of experience teaching but I dont not have a TEFL certificate. My worry is they may have overlooked that so if it is not mentioned in the interview I wonder wether it is worth bringing up? I dont want it to get to the stage of applying for visas before it comes up.
Just wanted to pick your brains. I have been teaching abroad now for 9 years and have experience in various institutions ranging from kindergarten up to high school with a few years teaching adults as well.
My question is, how important do you believe it is to have a TEFL certificate to work at higher education institutions in China? I do currently work and live in Kunming but I wonder if in the adsence of having a TEFL certificate, can teaching experience carry you through? I have a degree but it is not in a "related" field (education for example).
Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. I have an interview for a position next week and wonder if the topic of having a TEFL certificate will come up.
An unusual question perhaps but does anyone know of a Japanese association or a place where one can get Japanese lessons here?
Lived in Japan for a number of years and fear my Japanese is getting rusty. Of course there are many online options but if anyone knows of anything going on here in the city, let me know.
Went into Walmart the other day and was surprised not to find any coffee makers/ machines. Any ideas where I can track one down in town? Of course there is always taobao but if anyone knows of a place in town, let me know.
