See? You never learn, jonny.
Yes.
How about them bounders eh?
We could all sit outside on banana lounges discussing the best way to rebuild a 4WD transmission and agree, through shared stories of conquests supporting our assertions, that there is no basis to the proposition that those least assured of their persuasions are the first to condemn others for theirs.
Somethings fishy.But I'll reserve judgement.
With a bachelors in English Ed, and your lovely face, you will have no difficulty landing a job. You can expect around 30,000 baht/month in Bangkok -- but of course that all depends on where you work (university, government school, international school, training center, etc.)Originally Posted by Victoria Carolyn Vida
Will you also have a teaching certificate when you graduate? (or will you be able to get one from your home country?) If that is an option for you, I recommend that, because you'll need it if you want to teach at an international school (which will probably have a good salary and decent holidays, and unlikely that you'll have to work much on nights and weekends).
You won't need a TEFL cert. (esp. with a degree in English Ed) if you get a job at a uni. You may not need one anywhere. You actually might want to consider what you'd need to do to just have a TEFL minor added on to your present degree -- if it only means adding on two or three classes, that might be a cheaper option for you, and would carry a little more punch, I'd think.
Neither my husband nor I have a TEFL cert., but we do have years of teaching experience, which carries its own weight.
Indeed it does.

This is wonderful advice! Thank you! I will look into it.
A few hours ago I read that same statement on another thread.

There are few problems in life that cannot be solved with toast.
One of them, however, is opening a can of corned beef with that stupid key. This cannot easily be done at the best of times, and toast is of surprisingly little use in resolving the issue.
"Why Major in English Education?
The English education program prepares prospective teachers for the challenges of teaching students from a broad range of cultural backgrounds in such diverse educational settings as traditional high and middle schools, vocational-technical centers, alternative and magnet schools and tech-prep programs.
Current English education studies predict growing opportunities for English teachers at all levels, both to replace retiring teachers and to provide lower student-teacher ratios in classrooms.
High school graduates, whether they plan to attend college or not, need language and writing instruction that qualifies them to meet the demands of their future careers. The English Education degree program at Ferris State University prepares prospective English teachers with the knowledge and skills essential to provide effective English instruction for students in Michigan and throughout the nation.

To the OP: When I came to Thailand I had an English degree and a teaching certification from California. I took the TEFL course and while it did help, for the most part it was not necessary. If you've taken any education courses, you'll be fine as long as you brush up on your grammar. If you're really unsure I'd suggest observing some classes when you first get here - you'll get the gist of it very quickly. Talk to other teachers - they'll most likely have some resources and ideas.
You're young, blonde, and pretty - you'll have no problem getting a job, and will probably be the "face" of whatever language school you work for.
