Although the rule is that one should not lie on your CV/resume, 63% of people admitted to lying or exaggerating. The latest story is that of a government official who put a Stanford University degree in her CV that the university could not confirm. On top of it, they discovered plagiarism in her doctoral dissertation.  Obviously, those discoveries don’t necessarily benefit a good reputation.  And it can absolutely hurt sooner or later when you are trying to build a career. The response of people in discussions about such scandals usually is that everybody does it. In Germany, a banker with the name Christian Eberhard dreamed of being a surgeon.  He made his dream come true by forging a medical degree. When his fraud was discovered, he had already performed 190 surgeries at the University Clinic of Erlangen. This was despite the fact that he had written his “degree” with an…

In all those years as a TEFL trainer, I experienced countless novice teachers and seasoned ones during teaching practice.  When they came, they all had difficulties with the “Principle of Meaningful Context.”  When they left, they had become wonderful EFL teachers with the knowledge of how to excite their students in class.  Nothing can replace excellent teaching skills.  And those schools that hired our graduates were able to tell the difference.  Read on to learn a little bit about our work in training EFL teachers. In English language (or any foreign language) teaching, our trainees learn that meaningful learning is imperative to a top-notch EFL class.  What is the difference between meaningful learning and “rote” learning?  Let me explain that by looking back in history.  Most of our parents learned a foreign language from a teacher who spoke the native language of the students in class.  Vocabulary was taught by translating…

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the things you did do.  So throw off your bowlines.  Sail away from the safe harbor.  Explore.  Dream.  Discover. Mark Twain What was the reason you founded International TEFL Training Institute? I have always been fascinated by travel.  Personally, I have traveled around the world and visited over 125 countries.  Travel is an exciting thing; however, you have to be able to support yourself over time.  An excellent way to achieve the balance between travel and the need to support yourself is to teach English.  So we established a training organization that gives individuals with an excellent command of English the opportunity to become certified to teach English. What makes your organization different from other TEFL training providers? We have created a training program that not only “sells”; it’s a training program designed…
