Hey,  I'm hoping to get some advice from people who are overseas especially in Korea right now. My parents particularly my Dad is saying that if I go to Korea I will get killed because the North will attack - I know that is a risk but very unlikely to happen. He refuses to listen to anything I say about why I want to go abroad and I just don't know what to say to...

I have a phone interview tomorrow but it's just with a recruiter. What kind of things will they ask? Because I want to be prepared and don't want them to think I'm not interested in teaching in Korea :(

Okay, now I've completed my course I'm starting to panic about the next step.. actually getting a job. The thing that scares me the most are the phone interviews. I hate talking on the phone, especially to someone I don't know. I know I have to do an interview on the phone to get a job so can you give me some tips? What sort of things do they ask? I don't have Skype, will...

Hi guys, I hope all of your courses are going great :) I just need some help and guidance on checkpoint 5 - question 8 (the lesson plan) The tutor has told me I need to "explain how you teach meaning of the new target language phrases" and I'm really stuck. What does that mean?! This is the first time that I am really stuck and it's really bugging me!

So the weekend portion of my course is tomorrow and I'm so nervous. Argh!! I know that when I get there it'll be fine but I'm just scared/nervous/excited a little bit. I have a feeling this will be when I realise that I can't teach anyone let alone kids in Asia and that scares me a bit. So far all the theory stuff has been fine but I'm worried that the practicals will be awful....

After spending two solid days on checkpoint three, I am very happy to see that I have passed it!! It was by far the most challenging thing I've done in a while - including my final year of uni! - so I'm really happy with myself :D I've already gone through the next two modules so hopefully I can do checkpoint four today, woop!

Finally got round to doing the first two modules on the online course - took ages!! Going to leave the checkpoint test until tomorrow when I can concentrate better.    Got a reply back about a job in South Korea with the leading organisation and I've double checked all the blacklists and can not see it anywhere, so should be fine. They're just checking I have the right documents then they want to find a...
