Anyway, has anyone here ever done it or currently out there doing it? Any information/links/tips would be fantastic.
Thanks.
Hi, I did the Cambridge CELTA course in May 2004 at the Language Link School, Earls Court in London,
Link, it was a 4 weeks intensive course. It was quite tough, as I had to lesson plan most nights and do weekend assignments each week, basically no social life for that month.
After passing the course, went to Hong Kong to teach at an adult learning centre
Link, was there from Sept 2004 until Mar 2006. Overall it was fun teaching English to the local people, work was plentiful, full time or part time available, whatever suited your needs.
The English centre that I taught at had more female students than male, some were pretty hot if I must be honest. Chinese girls tend to age much better and are fascinated by foreigners.
If anyone is thinking of teaching English abroad, I would say "go for it", nothing to lose and a whole wealth of experience/culture to gain from it.
