Business English Blog
Filed Under (My current context) by Lilian on 14-02-2008 and tagged BE, Business English, edublogpractice
My Dear Visitors,
As I’ve been learning how to blog and the potentials blogs have for interaction between a teacher and students, I thought of creating this blog for my Business English (BE) students. It’s an open space for all students studying or interested in BE. It’s also a space where BE teachers can share their ideas, resources, projects and more.
Your suggestions, interests, ambitions, expectations are all welcome in this blog. Let’s start by sharing your expectations from BE classes. Feel free to tell me everything you want us to have. If it’s not covered in the book we’ll be using, we can surely talk about it here. This is our space to learn and share: http://lilianbusiness.edublogs.org
Waiting to hear your voices in our space.

Dear Lilian,
Congratulations on your blog!
I’ve been reading about your experience creating and using it with or BE students and the whole thing is inviting and inspiring for those of us who still haven’t started such an endevour.
I loved your e-mail comments of the EVO experience, too.
Love, friendly, ma.ma.

The entire Tefl International Video (teaching English TESOL) course is posted here:http://thepiratebay.org/user/davethenave
Made in Thailand, it was never copyrighted. Originally in DVD format all files were converted to MP4. Each video is now small enough to fit a single CD and easily played on Ipod.
To download these files you will need a file share program such as Emule or uTorrent (utorrent.com)
Note: a TESOL/TEFL certificate is NOT required for teaching in Thailand.
Latest requirements: http://blog.esldaily.org/2008/03/17/new-regulations-thailand.aspx
The Thai Ministry of Education has declared that all foreign teachers must have a Teacher Profession Certificate in order to legally teach in the country.
1) Foreign teachers who have a right to hold the Teacher Profession Certificate (must have been working in school before June 12, 2003) and want to extend their certification in 2009.
2) Hold a bachelor degree or higher in Education and has experience in teaching at least 1 year.
3) Hold the other fields of a bachelor degree or higher and already hold the Teacher Profession Certificate from abroad
4) Hold the other fields of a bachelor degree or higher and already has experience in teaching at least 2 year. Hold an educational certificate that takes at least 1 year of study.
The Tefl International “Thai special project” where you work in Thailand while taking that course does NOT meet above requirements.
If you are arrested, jailed or deported Tefl International will not be of assistance, you are on your own.
