The Ultimate Guide to Teaching English in Thailand (Teaching English in Southeast Asia)
ISBN: Binding: Kindle Edition Edition: 1 Author(s): Mike Fook Publisher: Apornpradab Buasi Number of Pages: 119
After Reading This Book in 2 Hours You Will Know Everything You Need To Know to Move to Thailand and Teach English
Note - this book does not teach you English grammar nor does it have much in the way of exercises to help Thai kids learn in your classroom
Learn in this Book:
How to find a job teaching English in Thailand - anywhere not just Bangkok Where to find a job in Thailand Essential - MUST ASK - questions before you agree to teach with them How much you should make Tips for controlling students with a token system How to best move to Thailand and choose a location to live How much you should pay for your house furnishings electric water etc Thai culture essentials - not what every other Thailand guidebook has
Teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) in Thailand is available to anyone with a college degree in literally anything TEFL courses not required in many cases
Thailand is a country starving for good English teachers who can help them acquire a language very different from their own native Thai tongue
This Ultimate Guide to Teaching English in Thailand covers more than any other guide ever published - we know because we've read them in preparation to do this book We did a meta-review of all Thailand teaching guides in existence and added reams of information on top of what was already in print
This book is very reasonably priced - so get it and see if you get your < 5 worth Myself an my editor tried hard to make it a great book about Teaching in Thailand - the name is catchy but we didn't necessarily believe it We have had a lot of good feedback through email so if you want to comment there - please do
Note: Reviews of books usually entail other authors buying competitors books and giving them JUNK reviews It really isn't likely that someone buys this book for under 5 and then has conniptions over it not meeting whatever unrealistic expectations they hadWe enjoyed VERY positive feedback on this book when it was launched for free on the author's website for a test period
Buy this book in spite of any bad reviews - they are more than likely other authors with paperback books that are locked into contracts and cannot convert their books to ebooks for many years Write your own review and let other readers know whether you got your 5 spent in value out of it Many thanks and cheers :) MF
