I hate it when Rabbits Glorp Ducks, don`t you?!!!

Psychologists at the University of Liverpool have found that children as young as two years old have an understanding of complex grammar even before they have learned to speak in full sentences.

Researchers at the University’s Child Language Study Centre showed children, aged two, sentences containing made-up verbs, such as ‘the rabbit is glorping the duck’, and asked them to match the sentence with a cartoon picture. They found that even the youngest two-year-old could identify the correct image with the correct sentence, more often than would be expected by chance.

How to teach ESL Online?

"The online school is a relatively new concept for many EFL teachers but, in fact, it is an increasingly popular English-learning tool for students all around the world. I have been an online teacher for more than three years, and it still amazes me that I teach students as far away as Korea, China, Brazil, Mexico, Germany and Egypt, to name but a few. And remember, this is not email instruction; these classes are live."  

--Karen Bond, Montreal, Canada

How to teach ESL Online?

Silvina you are not alone, thousands of teachers are now teaching online, as the students can potentially come from anywhere in the world, and if you are located in a tiny town, that doesn`t mean you cannot get students anymore.  Read More

Some JETS being posted withing 80kms of Nuclear Disaster!!!

A LEADING Japanese recruiter of teachers from Australia is placing recruits closer to leaky nuclear reactors than recommended by Canberra's radiation safety agency. 
 
The move by the Japanese Government-sponsored JET program reflects the gulf between what Japanese and other nations' authorities constitute a safe distance from nuclear reactors.
The reactors in Japan's northern Fukushima area were in March damaged by a massive tsunami, which triggered the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl.


JET is mostly known for recruiting native English-speaking teachers for Japanese schools. It maintains no teacher will be placed in an area the Japanese Government deems "unsafe".
Teachers will be placed no closer than 30km to the disaster-struck nuclear reactors at Fukushima, in line with Japanese safety guidelines. No teachers will be placed in areas "under watch for possible evacuation", JET says in an explanation document.


The program confirmed to The Courier-Mail that 31 new JET participants from English-speaking nations were offered placements within 80km of the nuclear plants. Three who took up the offer were Australians, JET said.

ESL Songs

How Do Good ESL Songs for Kids Help Teachers?
by Cheema Beckham
“If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers.”
- Edgar W. Howe 


Children definitely give a very tough time to their parents, especially mothers. Being a father myself, I know how tough it is to teach them once they are in a mood to play; and unfortunately they are in a playing mood most of the time.


When it comes to teaching English as a Secondary Language (ESL) to kids, the story is no different; however I have found an easy solution for this. Some good songs for kids always come handy in keeping them focused towards learning while enjoying and amusing them.

Dynamite Debates: One Teacher’s Experience

by Tom Anderson

EFL teachers in Japan often come across debate in one or more forms. They might be asked to participate as judges in speech contests carried out by the English Speaking Society, a club activity. The debates might involve teams of students who are club members or perhaps a speech contest featuring student teams from their own club competing with teams from other institutions. Perhaps debate is one activity in an Oral English class. It might even be a required or elective class itself.

Tired of Japan, Cheap Flight Thailand

Get a cheap flight to Thailand and Teach English in this beautiful country.

Cheap Flight Thailand, how can you get there cheaply? I bought my ticket in Chinatown in Vancouver, and it was a great ticket. I flew on Korean air. It was an open ticket that allowed me to fly to land in Nagoya, and stay for four months, then fly to Taipei and stay for two days, then fly to Bangkok and stay there for 18 days, then fly back to Tokyo and then back to Vancouver within a year. It was a one year open ticket. If you ask around at various travel agencies you can get deals like this. My ticket was 1300 dollars Canadian!



STA is a good agency for good cheap flight Thailand. Thai travel agents are very cheap but you need to ask around to make sure you get a good one. HIS and No. 1 Travel also offer discount tickets to destinations all over the world including Thailand.
