Just going....

Hey, everybody. Quick question - if I were to simply arrive in country with only 20 hours of TEFL training and a BA, would I be able to sustain myself with a job? I don't live extravegantly and I'm not concerned with prestige. Frankly, I'm getting frustrated with this endeavor because it seems like every position I find online requires way more experience and/or training than I possess.

How did the 20 hours go?  What all is involved?  Not familiar with it.  Most try and take the 100 or more.  Are you planning on adding on later down the road? 


I'm headed to Ukraine in about a month. I'll be teaching in a nice little language school in Eastern Ukraine, predominantly Russian speaking.  Luckily they are giving me free Russian courses for the duration of my contract. :)


So you want to head to Ecuador?  Why there?  Just curious. :))

Welcome to the Chalkboard!  Congrats on finishing uni, also.  I'm looking forward to that next year.  I'm jealous. :)


 


Have you chosen a course yet to enroll in or still toying with the TEFL idea?  What countries are you wanting to teach in?

Hiya


Welcome to Chalkboard - are you thinking of heading abroad to teach now you've graduated?


To get you started on the site you should visit the groups to check out people's experiences of teaching abroad and see if it's for you: http://www.onlinetefl.com/tefl-chalkboard/groups


By the way, if you've just graduated from college, you should download a free Graduate's Guide to Teaching and Traveling Abroad: http://www.onlinetefl.com/graduates.html


Good luck and if you have any questions get in touch!
