Yes, you can definitely teach English abroad even if you have an unrelated degree. Many countries and language schools only require that you have a bachelor's degree in any field to be eligible for teaching positions. While having a degree in English, Linguistics, or Education can be beneficial, it is not always a strict requirement. Having a degree in a different field can even be seen as an advantage in some cases as it shows diversity and a well-rounded skill set. Employers often look for qualities such as fluency in English, cultural sensitivity, adaptability, and teaching experience rather than a specific degree. When applying for English teaching positions abroad with an unrelated degree, it's essential to highlight any relevant experience you have, such as tutoring, teaching...  [Read more]

The city of Madison is located in an especially beautiful part of the country. The Native American Ho Chunk tribe settled in the area and called it their sacred land. Due to the four surrounding lakes, Lake Mendota, Lake Monona, Lake Kegonsa, and Lake Waubesa, they referred to the land as Taychopera (land of the four lakes). Still today, Madison is a premier destination for outdoor lovers and travelers alike. The lakes invite people to engage in water sports and other activities, such as water-skiing, swimming or fishing. You can also grab a kayak or canoe and spend some quality time amongst nature.

  http://www.teflonline.net The teaching idea covered here is one that would be particularly appropriate for more advanced English language learners, those who can use different tenses accurately. The activity is a board game that focuses on comparing and contrasting the tenses, focusing on the Present Perfect and the Present Perfect Continuous. Each student takes a turn at rolling the dice and moving around the board. For example a student could land on a square that says "Something you have been learning for a long time." An appropriate answer for the student could be "I have been learning English for a long time." The next student takes a turn and could land on a square that says "A beautiful place you have visited." This time the student could use the Present Perfect rather...  [Read more]

If you have done any research into teaching English in Europe it is likely that you have read something about the Schengen Area that is made up of 26 countries with a combined population of over 400 million people. Set up in 1985, the Schengen Area has essentially removed all border controls between member countries allowing the free movement of people within the whole area. Prior to this, anyone wanting to travel between any country in the area would need to go through full passport checks at every border they wanted to cross. Now TESOL teachers are free to travel at will across the Schengen Area without any restrictions.

  This video covers the difference between 'assent' and 'ascent'. As these two words have a similar pronunciation and spelling, their usage is often confused. Let's take a look at the two words individually. 'Assent' is a noun and describes an agreement or an approval of something. He nodded his assent and she continued. As you can see in the example, 'assent' indicates that he is agreeing. We could also say 'He nodded in agreement and she continued.' While the word 'ascent' is also used as a noun, it has a very different meaning. It refers to the action of rising or climbing up, for example: My legs were tired after I took the ascent to the cabin on the ridge. We could also say 'My legs were tired from the climb to the cabin on the ridge'. Below you can read feedback from an ITTT...  [Read more]
