I am now TESOL certified

I received my TESOL Certification from Oxford Seminars on Sunday, June 14. Now I am going through the process of exploring teaching opportunities around the world. I am very open to going almost anywhere. I am looking more at the job descriptions than the countries. South America has appeal from the aspect that I could improve my Spanish or Portuguese. Other areas are attractive because I have never been to them, and I love experiencing new cultures (new to me that is).So over the next few weeks

"To do" versus "To Make"

I must prepare a short Lesson Plan in the next 48 hours for this next Saturday as part of the Oxford Seminar course to obtain TESOL Certification. Since I taught 13 months in Mexico, I am aware that in Spanish the verb Hacer can mean "to do" or "to make" so I am considering doing my Lesson Plan on that theme.If anyone has any input on what is the difference in English between the two verbs, I'd love to hear it. When do you use the verb "to do" and when do you use the verb "to make"? What is the

To Give Is To Give

"To give is to give." I heard these words when I watched Oprah Winfrey Show long time ago.I think these words have deep meaning, sincere heart is needed.Maybe, if people giving their love and affection, not willing to get the payback,Maybe if people appreciate each other, help each other, hand in hand, no matter who they are, just appreciate and receive just the way they are, then heaven is on earth.But, if it happens, then evils get retired...

False Identity

I 've sometimes found that my students feel shy to answer the questions or take part in the conversations so I ask them to have a false identity ,a nickname probably "You are Michael..." for instance so they can hide behind that false identity and when they make mistakes it is that false identity actually not the real student, I've found it really practical and that helps them to come and participate more,so next time let your students have that false identity and see how they work.Alireza,A dev

We are a way from it...

Really, we are in shortage of doing it. It's so important and we know that and still avoiding or neglecting it. Why we are doing this and keep increasing the fat in our bodies under the witness from our side. Having a practice in our schedule it is not obstacle or big issue that will affect our daily routine.
