Very few teachers do what you outline, but that's because very few teachers know anything about the phonemic sounds. Telling ss to use the Cambridge/Oxford/Webster dictionary is a cop-out used by most teachers. If you are confident to teach the sounds, I recommend that you go for it: https://www.eng...

As far as I know there is no such police check in Russia.

20k what? Dollars?

Another cautionary tale, this time from Russia trying to get a teacher to come on a Business visa and without work permit:

People argue endlessly about this but for me an ocean of flowers is singular and two oceans of flowers is plural.

How about the Sea of Regrets?

A TEFL diploma (or indeed a TEFL certificate) is often enough for many employers from their point of view. However, it is true that a bachelor's (in almost any subject) is often required by the respective government before a visa/work permit can be issued. This is not (yet) universal and at least in...

There should be no need to give a reason, though out of courtesy many people do (even though the reason given may not be the real one).

It would probably help people make meaningful replies if you gave a bit more info. Eg, what does "local" and "foreign" mean? It depends where you are. What country/ies do you want to work in? etc Have you checked the TEFL.net job boards? https://www.tefl.net/jobs/international ht...

Any time money is required, you have a red flag right there. This can be at any point during the hiring procedure, say in the original job ad or during a subsequent telephone conversation. Money may be requested for various reasons - to pay for a background check on you, to cover work permit applica...

Really it's up to you. As long as your CV/resume doesn't become "fake" in the process it makes sense to tailor it to the position within reason. That would be putting your best foot forward for the job in question. If you're making 100 applications then that might be impracticable, or cert...

BTW, you posted the same question on EnglishClub.com but you didn't add the link to the video.

Do you think the voice in the video might be difficult to understand for non-native speakers? Personally I think it might be difficult to understand for NATIVE speakers, and I'm a native speaker. It's weird :twisted: I presume it's a synthetic voice? The sentence stress is all over the place. It's ...

Interesting looking game! Well done. You should be aware that your claim that it is the first board game for ESL learners is not accurate:

WORD UP ESL Board Game

You are looking for something that does not exist. In general, governments are not in the business of accrediting TEFL courses.
