How Much Technology Is In Your EFL/ESL/ELD classroom?

Denise — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 00:37:52 GMT

I teach in the Silicon Valley in Calfornia. Technology runs in the blood out here. However, there are still many teachers who shy away from it. How much technology do you use in your classroom and how comfortable do you feel using it?

Thanks.

Lucrative teaching positions in Shanghai, China

PencilsUp — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 16:53:38 GMT

Good day, fellow teachers. After visiting the "mother country" China for the first time last year, I learned so much about myself, my abilities, and what I want and love in life. I was awakened and hungrily found a way to visit Europe and Africa as well. My friend Leon had a hard time when he taught English abroad because the resources and circumstances were not as promised. When I came home, my friends and I got to discussing the need for quality educators worldwide. Seeing the shortage in teaching jobs in the USA, record breaking unemployed teachers, we decided to start a service to help teachers who want to travel. We wanted to make it simple, enjoyable, and provide excellent service to our teachers.

Pencils Up is looking for experienced teachers to fill multiple teaching positions in Shanghai, China. We represent high-end private teaching institutions that are well staffed and equipped.

I hope this opportunity is the one you've been looking for!

Best Regards and Happy Travels,

Mindy Lee

At a loss - please help

Brandi — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 02:29:06 GMT

I am at a complete loss and would appreciate any advice I can get...

I teach 6 grade language arts. It is only my second year as a teacher, and I only have experience teaching pre-AP and regular education. I currently have a student who speaks no English. Additionally, he can not read Spanish or English. He has brain damage due to a car accident, but we do not know to what extent. Apparently, he is too low for special education; however, he can't qualify for 504 until his mom takes him to a neurologist (which she hasn't done yet, and it has been 3 years). Because of all this, he is thrown into a regular classroom, and I am supposed to teach him. Everyone just keeps telling me to do what I can with him. Right now, I am trying to get him to learn the alphabet...he can get up to F. Any suggestions would be great as to how to teach him. I don't speak Spanish and I have 27 other students to worry about... Help, please!

The cours d'anglais Angleterre is a great offer whilst, you will also have the opportunity to see its incredible panorama.

A glimpse at Korea:

Korea is a unique mix of sophisticated commercial centers and impressive, traditional attractions. A history and culture that goes back nearly 5,000 years coexists side by side with Louis Vuitton and Starbucks. An eclectic mix of mountains and rivers, majestic palaces, and ultramodern skyscrapers highlight the country's unique horizon.

Also known as the "most wired" country in the world, Korea is famous for its Internet connectivity and the leadership role it plays in the IT industry. As the 10th largest economy in the world, anyone can find just about anything in Korea. For example, English books and movies are readily available along with a variety of Western foods from take-outs to family restaurants.

For the adventurer, Korea's proximity to other Asian countries makes it an excellent hub for travel. Trips to Thailand, China, and Japan are the most common. Traveling within Korea is made easy by the clean, modern, and inexpensive public transportation system.

Why China?

The chance to experience 5,000 years of history while developing your career and skills in “The Middle Kingdom”, as the Chinese call their country, is an opportunity of a lifetime. You can explore one of the world’s most ancient civilizations and engage in the local culture as a welcomed insider (and get paid to do it).

The most recent host of the summer Olympics, Beijing has sprouted new athletic facilities, hotels and restaurants that rival any in the world. An adventure awaits you down every city street and across the dynamic terrain that has something for every outdoor enthusiast. The Chinese are an amazing friendly people, who will no doubt welcome you with open arms.
