About Me
Hey!
I'm James Clayton and it's nice to meet you. Having completed the TEFL course and got a whole stack of specialist certificates (as well as finishing my postgraduate degree) way back in 2009 I'm eager to travel and teach. Right now, I'm working out how to make that happen...
Aside from that, I'm a writer and do lots of creative stuff. Every week I write a column on film, pop-culture and 'philosophy' for the Den of Geek website (http://www.denofgeek.com/search.php?q=James+Clayton&offset=0&submit=Go!).
I also keep a random blog (The Colour Out of Cyberspace - http://coloursofjamesclayton.tumblr.com/) where I post up things I find inspirational, interesting or cool and write haiku verse (Miniature Giant Haiku Musings of James Clayton - http://miniaturegianthaiku.tumblr.com/).
There's much more and I'm developing creative projects and ideas all the time. I generally live to absorb culture, write myself and dream of travelling, adventuring and, yeah, taking the TEFL trail around the globe. If you're on Twitter, you can always find me talking away there as well... (http://twitter.com/james__clayton/)
Say hello any time! :)

So I surf the web and search out possibilities and opportunities to travel away, teach English and get experience. I've been hammering away at that and - if I think about it - have sent out a great many applications over the past few months, never mind the past few days... The website that I've used most is ESLemployment.com and followed up links to other websites from there and I'm waiting on the cinsultation call...
Time to get back on the TEFL trail...

Erm... hello! *walks back into a busy room and tries to hide the signs of awkwardness as a few people look his way...* Yes, erm, right. Long time no talk on Chalkboard. Tsk. Poor show. Very disappointing. Who do I think I am just flying in and out when it pleases me? No sticking power and commitment. Harumph... Anyway, for months I've been off the boil and not engaging with the idea of teaching English...

Log in to leave a comment or Create an accounthi nice to meet u all ^^... so..James, what are you teaching now?
Thanks Cherogoth! It looks really promising and thanks for the tip!
Hey Delilah!
I have no idea: all I know is that - for various reasons - I won't be getting to travel until well into next year but I'm wide open. Long-term I'd love to go to the Far East (one of my life ambitions is to experience Japan) but at the moment it's more likely I'll be looking to Europe first. I've got the TEFL qualifications and I'm eager to get out there, teach English and explore the world. It's exciting to have that prospect ahead of me.
How about you? Thanks for being the first person to leave a comment!
Your job sounds cool. Where abouts are you hoping to teach next year? x
