Teaching English in New ZealandBack to Tefl World

New Zealand has plenty of its own home-grown TEFL teachers so it’s not surprising that TEFL teaching positions are not advertised overseas very often.  People who visit the country love the dramatic scenery, used as the set for The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and the friendly and laid back people.  A teaching position here would allow the time to explore a country about the size of Britain, but with a population of only four million.

Who qualifies as a 'proper teacher?' Thursday 09 Nov 2017

On the morning of the 25th anniversary of completing my introduction to TEFL course, I got one of those new email things from someone who’d been on the course with me and with whom I’d kept in occasional touch.

Congratulations!  You’ve been teaching for a quarter of a century!

A nice enough message but in context rather perplexing and I wrote back ‘You too!?!’ only to be corrected: ‘No, I’ve taught one year twenty five times.
