Beware: women travelers, pickpockets, cultural faux pas, discrimination
against foreigners

OPINION:
"it bugs me that people go overseas 'to save the natives' and incidentally
to give them a well. God cares about our souls, but he created this earth
and our bodies. When we love our neighbor as ourselves, it is not just
spiritually but mentally, emotionally, physically. It makes me mad with
tentmakers too that have the attitude that the service they are providing
is just an avenue for witnessing. This perspective is wrong - we love the
whole person and by that love they see God. The attitude leads to thinking
that once their soul is saved, the job is done.

TESOL Certification Programs
Distance learning programs - some of them may involve an on-site practicum.
Cambridge or Trinity RSA certification. It gives very good practical experience.
Re: RSA/Cambridge (www.sfstgiles-usa.com) vs. RSA/Trinity?
1) Both programs provide very practical classroom-based training.
2) Both certificates are very widely recognized worldwide; both are
certainly more widely recognized by employers than any other TEFL certificate
program. (The CELTA probably is still rather better known and more widely
accepted/preferred than the Trinity.)
3) The Trinity deals with teaching both adults and younger learners,
while the CELTA deals only with teaching adults. (So some people feel the
Trinity is too superficial while some feel the CELTA is too limited.)
3) Cambridge 100 hours, Trinity 120 hours.
