5.0 out of 5 stars Well presented and informative., 16 Aug 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Teaching English Abroad (5th Edition) (2001) (ELT / TEFL) (Paperback)
I did not need to read this book from start to finish, as it is so well presented that I was able to extract the information I required quickly and easily. A definite must read for anyone even remotely interested in teaching English in foriegn lands. I would also recommend it to travellers looking for a means to supplement their income whilst visiting exotic far away place, as this book has all the information and references required by anyone wishing to embark on a new and rewarding career in English teaching.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good book but too much advertising!, 11 Dec 2008
This book contains a wealth of detailed information and reflects a great deal of research but it also promotes the short but expensive (and completely unnecessary) "TEFL" certificate courses sold on the web. Such courses claim to "qualify" you to teach English as a foreign language and are frequently promoted through false advertising on the web: "You'll need this to get a job," and even bogus want-ads: "Teacher wanted - TEFL required" from non-existent schools.

The author is a Canadian who taught in Britain so her personal experience in teaching abroad is rather limited, but I would imagine that after so many editions she should be fully aware of the TEFL fraud and refuse to promote it. Books like "Teach English in Italy," although more narrow in scope, document that most genuine employers don't even request, let alone require, any short certificates, and may even laugh at an applicant's TEFL "qualification."

I would have preferred to read a book describing the author's personal experience as a foreigner teaching in Britain, since that's what she knows best, and many Americans would love to teach in the UK.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as they say., 8 Jun 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Teaching English Abroad (6th Edition) (2002) (ELT / TEFL) (Paperback)
True this books offers a good basic resource for prospective teachers, but nothing that the avid net searcher could not find for themselves. Some e-mail addresses were old and out of date as was some of the information. If you have an old copy of the book it will probably do just as well as it seems the author simply top's up existing information from older editions. Finally a word on the author who seems to write with an OLD STYLE superiority that does not allow for all the routes into Modern World English.
