The Essential Guide to Teaching English and Living in Thailand

Review for this guide from Ajarn.com, the number one website for teaching positions in Thailand: 'They've set about creating the ultimate guide for new teachers in Thailand and they have succeeded on virtually every count...... This is a book for the new arrival. And for the newbie ‘fresh off the boat' it's a treasure trove of essential info.' Considering a move to Thailand to teach? This book is packed with all the information you need to make your move to the 'Land of Smiles' as stress-free as possible. The first half of this guide addresses all the major worries you might have when first setting yourself up in Thailand and looking for work, as well as taking you through what day-to-day living in Thailand is like. The second half then looks at Thai schools, your students, your classroom, and most importantly the actual content of your lessons. Throughout this book you'll find tonnes of practical advice and tips drawn from the actual experiences of first-time teachers, including tried-and-tested lesson plans and how to cope with those difficult first few weeks of teaching. All concerns are addressed, both big and small; from the pros and cons of working for an agency, right through to what your students should call you and the best way to take a register in class.
