hi everyone,

I would like to create a group for those who are teachers. Its purpose is to share teaching experience or to look for a job teaching English or to introduce some one a teaching position.

I really hope that there will be many people in this page join in the group.

This is actually a great idea. Hope you can get something together.

I am not really happy with my present job. It's too much travelling. I work from 14:00-21:00 but in Bien Hoa City, not in Saigon. Even though I am taken there by the company car but the time for travelling is nearly half of my working time. hey, I love teaching kids who are at the age of 6-12 ). There are so many tasks to sort out in one day. ( I'll tell you more. Now it's time to go home. Good night friend!

But are you living in SG? such a long way from BH to HCMC. I love traveling for holiday purposes. It's not like travel a long way to go to work. however, is your job interesting? maybe just don't care about the long distance, let's think about the benefit

Hi Tien,
I am looking for an English Teacher for my English Center. If you are interested in the position, we can arrange time to meet you in HCM City for further discussion.

Hi thank you. I am unemployed聽

But I have to tell you first. I did not graduate from my university in Finland (major in Marketing). I've just had TESOL certification to go for teaching. You should consider it. I don't wanna let you down. So I have to make clear at the beginning.

yeah i'm renting a house in Go Vap District. It is actually exhausted to travel such a long way to work but as you mentioned, the benefit is good enough for me to "sacrifice". Frankly, I'll try to work until my contract is ended (after Tet holiday). When i get married i will not be able to work on a schedule like the one i'm working on now.
Teaching is both interesting and tiring. Let's imagine that you have 2 classes in a row, the students are kind of over excited- they cheer, yell, jump, all types of action. Teachers must be really enthusiastic and have love for the students.

Well. same to me! that's all I can say.

i am thinking about my wedding too. haha. Actually I do not stick to teaching job. Any job relating to English communication is ok to me. Hope you find a job in HCMC. at least it'll save your time to spend for your family

I cannot find any jobs relating to English communication but teaching. Speaking skill is not enough to get a good job. I should have something major - like business, or something else.

by the way, What is your major? or what is your certification? I haven;t known it yet.

You know, sometimes I don't know what major is. It is just something we learn in school, even we do not apply or remember it in life. So, major is not playing any role as such. it is just your interests and ability to work in certain field. Let's think about the best thing you can do.

I'm major in Linguistic and literature
i believe that most of employers will "filter" the number of candidates by looking at their major/ specialized knowledge. I think it impossible for anyone to get a job in marketing field without any knowledge about it.
Why did you quit your studying?

Ah. So you like Marketing?

Don't talk about my study anymore. It's gone. Let it be. if we have chance to understand each other more, you will know. People keep asking me about it. but i feel satisfied with my life now. Don't worry. We can change the topic to your stuff. I would love to know more about you and everyone here

I seriously cannot believe the poor level of English being shown in some of these posts. How on Earth can some of you be considered as teachers of English?

Thats because most VN teachers focus on grammar,not on speaking or writing.

It's amazing, isn't it? And I'm not talking about the Vietnamese teachers. I'd say a good 60% of the foreigner English teachers here couldn't pass a 5th grade proficiency test in their home country.

That's rather insulting to non-natives, don't you think? I am a native teacher but I studied for my CELTA with non-natives who knew how to study the language better than anyone (as they had actually done it). They could speak a lot better than some of the idiots in Britain and their grammar knowledge was insane.

I agree about the backpacker comments. I also hate that my school puts more emphasis on games than teaching - however, we're there to excite the children about English and help them with pronunciation. The Vietnamese teachers do the actual teaching here. It's sad, especially when you can't even communicate with the teachers, but it won't change for a long time.

Would'nt the pronunciation of a non-native speaker cause a problem to learners who are there to learn correct pronunciation, not just grammar.
