The teaching would be much more career focused that the ski season so I'd do this after the ski season.  The ski season would only be 4-5 months andI am sure you could pick up summer teaching work as well. Summer schools etc.
 
If you did the ski season, it would be good to have plan and some career goals afterwards. Having seaid that there will be some common skills that would be transferable to both, working with people, children  etc.

Yo Jo! :)

Yes, I have also heard that you need a degree and TEFL to teach in Thailand.
I'm heading off to Hanoi in October and I had to have my TEFL AND degree (needed for the visa application).

I did a lot of research into S.E.Asia before settling on Vietnam and I am aware that it is possible to teach in the region without a degree but you won't be legal.
The degree is required for most countries in the region as the visa depends on having this qualification.

All the best!

Hi :)

I'm back in Prague for a long weekend and currently teaching at a Summer school in the UK with my TEFL certificate.

I was teaching English in Prague late/earlier last/this year for 6 months.
I really love the city and had a great time teaching here, made some great friends, etc (hence the reason I come back so often for weekend trips LOL).

Would definitely recommend TEFL Prague ITTP - the program I took my TEFL with ( http://www.tefl-prague.com ).

Pros and cons of teaching in Prague as far as I'm aware of are:

+ excellent social network
+ easy to find work
+ architecture
+ conveniently located in the centre of Europe and easy to travel to other countries.
+ possible to live and save a little even on teaching wage

- wages do sort of suck if you compare them to places such as S/Korea.
- locals can be downright rude at times.

Hope it helps!

J

I agree you should know what are schools requirement in which you are going to teach, you should qualify their requirements, and TEFL degree is positive point you will have, and be sure to get from good institution ]]> Wed, 31 Mar 2010 13:33:05 +0000 http://www.seasonworkers.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1163&PID=73568#73568 TEFL Courses : teaching assistant help!! http://www.seasonworkers.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2934&PID=72119#72119 Author: vinnai

The teaching assistant takeson tasks that allow the teacher to concentrate on teaching (eg, bypreparing the classroom for lessons and clearing up afterwards). Tosupport pupils with particular individual needs, some teachingassistants work one-to-one, while others work in small groups.

Manyschools employ teaching assistants with particular specialisms,including literacy, numeracy, Special Educational Needs (SEN), music,creative arts and bilingual TAs (where the first language ofsignificant numbers of children is not English).

Experiencedand specially-trained teaching assistants can be expected to supervisea class for a teacher who is off sick or undertaking training. Whileevery class must be allocated a qualified teacher, Higher LevelTeaching Assistants (HLTAs) would be expected occasionally to lead alesson.

you can no longer work in Thailand without a TEFL Certificate. Tho later this year it appears that you will not be able to teach in Thailand without a degree. ]]> Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:20:55 +0000 http://www.seasonworkers.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1163&PID=66662#66662 TEFL Courses : To do TEFL or not... http://www.seasonworkers.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1163&PID=64074#64074 Author: ICAL_Pete

You'll get plenty of (conflicting) advice so... here's some more!

1. Do you have a passport from the EU such as the UK or Ireland? If you don't then you pretty well out of luck since non-EU citizens can't work in Europe without a LOT of visa hassles.

2. Get qualified. That means a degree and a TEFL Certificate. Naturally I'd recommend our TEFL Cert but to be sure check out the TEFL CertificateTEFL Course Review which has reviews by former students of different courses to make sure the one you're taking is the best.

3. Don't bother with CELTA. It's a massively intensive course for experienced teachers only. Take it after a couple of years teaching but not straight in as a newbie.

4. You don't need to speak the language of your host country to teach English. These days you should aim to use English Only in the classroom.

5. Contracts are usually for 1 year starting around September (the beginning of the school year).

Hope this helps!

TOEFL/TEFL - teach english as a foregin language.
TESL/TESOL - teach english as a second language

They are the same.

Hiya,

The best way to ensure you can get work is to get a certified TEFL qualification. Make sure your get your qualification from a company like i-to-i who are accredited by the ODLQC (the Open and Distance Learning Council). Most schools will accept this kind of qualification but it's always good to check with the school you are hoping to teach at; contact them and find out what qualifications a teacher will need and which accrediting bodies they acknowledge. If they accept your qualifications you shouldn't have any trouble finding a job. This website is really good for TEFL info http://www.onlinetefl.com

Good luck!
