Laura V asked:


I would like to begin teaching english as a foreign language and I’m not quite sure where to begin. I am living in the UK but I would like to teach somewhere abroad. What qualifications or courses should I take so that I can do this?

Is it possible to get a decent job Teaching English as a Foreign Language with only a certificate?

S asked:


Is it possible to get a good job teaching english in mexico if I have only a hs diploma and TEFL certificate?

I’m also semi fluent in spanish and would get much better after living there for a short time.

Also, are there any other jobs possibilities in mexico for young gringos such as myself?

I’m not looking to live extravagantly, Just survive comfortably.

Recommend a book for teaching English as a foreign language?

I have a TEFL qualification. I didn’t use it very much and gained little experience in it. Can you recommend a book that gives guidance on practicalities of teaching English. I would like it to cover such things as lesson planning and sourcing material for use in class.

Any advice would be appreciated.
