I am an English teacher in Taiwan. I’m very interested in Japan and plan to move there next year. Trouble is, I’m an awful teacher, so I really, really don’t want to teach English. I’ve been teaching in some capacity since ‘07, gotten CELTA certified, etc. and am still awful. No matter how hard I [...]

When I was growing up long-distance calls were luxuries for us, reserved for a holiday or if we were either planning a visit out of state or having visitors to get the details. Plane trips were for the wealthy, fur coats, eating out on a regular basis, and going to a salon for nails. All [...]

I have a 4 year college degree already and am interested in getting certified to teach English abroad.
Does getting this kind of certification require a large amount of hours at a university? Or is it a certification you can take a prep course and study prep books then take the test to obtain certification?

Nearly 100,000 students come to the United States to study English each year. Many of them come to prepare themselves to enter colleges and universities in the United States; others come to learn and improve their English. Here are some things to consider before you choose an ESL school.

CertTESOL

Administrated through Trinity College London, this has traditionally been viewed as being roughly equivalent by employers around the world and like the CELTA can be studied in different places around the world. It contains widely the same content as a CELTA course but in my opinion CELTA has now overtaken it as the qualification most [...]

As a Trinity College of London post-graduate diploma holder in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) when a co-worker seriously queried me on the rigors and requirements of taking a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification course for teaching English, I recommended an upcoming CELTA (Certification in English Language Teaching) teacher [...]

R must be mastered in English because of its unique manifold abilities to influence nearby sounds and its geographic variety. Since speakers of many other languages use a flap instead of a trill for R, distinguishing it from L and ensuring local vowels are pronounced correctly are often challenges.

Saying R

English R is pronounced near the [...]

CELTA and the Six Serving Men Part 1

What is CELTA

Looking at CELTA through the eyes of the Six Serving Men is probably the fastest
and most efficient method of explaining CELTA and how it relates to TEFL, TESL,
TESOL and the rest of the ESL Teaching World.

So, what is CELTA? Here’s the verbatim [...]

Now let’s review the consonants only. It’s interesting that consonants are grouped in the alphabet in threes and fives, because all vowels are in odd-numbered positions:
* BCD * FGH * JKLMN * PQRST * VWXYZ
Simplicity
The simplest consonants have one reliable sound and can be depended on for that sound in most contexts (with the ever-present [...]

Let’s take a break before tackling consonants and describe ways that different languages use to distinguish many of the most similar-sounding words. Three of these methods are stress, tonality, and length.

Stress refers to the loudness, softness, or intermediateness of the syllable’s vowel. Tonality refers to the highness or lowness of the pitch or note of [...]

Hey Bernadette, hope you drop by again soon, looking forward to seeing you :-)

Most of these observations are necessary for completeness but do not affect understandability.
The Roving Schwa
If the syllable is unstressed, it’s usually safe to use a schwa. Most words beginning with a- as a separate syllable, including the word “a” itself, use a schwa; and many suffixes routinely use a schwa, such as: -a, [...]

AU is “aw” (baud, caught, faun, fraud, taut), and rarely “ah-oo”, a diphthong of long A and long U (hausfrau, sauerkraut).
EI is “ee” (conceit, either, leisure, receive, seize), and less often “ey” (neigh, reign, their, vein, weigh), or “eh” (counterfeit, foreign, forfeit, heifer, sovereign).
EO is usually unconnected (pronounced separately, such as “ee-oh”).
EU is “oo” (jeu, [...]

The Pure Vowels

One of the harder steps for learning English pronunciation is to master all the vowel sounds common to English. Languages like Hawaiian, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish have a basic five-vowel set, not counting diphthongs of two or more vowels in combination. Because of this, a simple way of learning English vowels is [...]

The Second Score-Killer: Not finishing the test

Finish the Test! Time - “time is of the essence”

Time management is fundamental to achieving a high TOEIC score. Among the students I polled one thing that stands out is the inability to complete the test.

Our 2nd mantra is “I will finish the test”
