Teach Away Telegram - April 2013

Teach Away Telegram - April 2013 Happy April! We’re a third of the way through 2013 already. In this month’s newsletter, we’ll talk about another good teaching tool, Prezi. We’ll also share information on getting a Master’s degree in TESOL. Finally, our country spotlight for April is Azerbaijan.Teaching Tool: Prezi Example of a featured Prezi from prezi.comPrezi could be called the modern version of PowerPoint, although that would be doing the program a disservice. Prezi allows for a non-linear format, meaning that teachers and students can scroll, slide, zoom, and enlarge frames. Prezi’s visual nature makes it ideal for teachers to display “mind mapping” techniques.Preparing presentations before class (instead of using a whiteboard) benefits learning. It allows teachers to maximize class time for instruction, rather than wasting valuable minutes writing on the board. However, many kinds of presentation software are inadequate for teachers, as it is not easy to move back to review a previous point, o r move in and out from big picture to detail and back.Prezi allows teachers to make their lessons more visually engaging as well as potentially more useful and intuitive. The Prezi website has examples of presentations that make excellent use of the program’s graphic abilities. Prezi’s visuals can be used to explain or simply to entertain.From USC Rossier: How is a Master’s in TESOL Relevant Overseas?Thanks in large part to globalization and modern technology, English has become the dominant language around the world. The New York Times reports that about one-quarter of the world's population is able to communicate in English to some extent. It is the common language for every type of global enterprise, including business, entertainment and popular culture, and it represents about 80 percent of the information stored on the Internet. Around the world, people from every culture recognize the ability to communicate in English as a key component of their education.The Times also reports that the teaching of English is a multi-billion-dollar industry and that one-third of the global population is studying English or will study it at some point in the near future. While there is no question that the overseas demand for English language instructors is growing, trying to determine the best educational path to becoming a TESOL teacher can be confusing.Becoming a TESOL TeacherWhile some countries require only a bachelor's degree and/or TESOL certification, there are many advantages associated with obtaining a Master's in TESOL. Teaching English requires more than knowledge of the English language. A Master’s in TESOL provides in-depth knowledge in the teaching techniques that are essential for instructing students who have limited experience with English. It makes it possible to address students with varying language requirements, from those who are learning English as a hobby to those who require it for school or employment.In general, overseas employers are l ooking for TESOL teachers who are well trained and who have classroom experience. Master's in TESOL programs satisfy these requirements by providing a strong foundation in linguistics theory and teaching methods. Students learn how to apply language and literacy concepts in a broad range of educational settings. In addition, the best Master’s in TESOL programs give students the opportunity to put teaching theory into practice through field-based assignments. Students who are new to teaching will gain confidence and refine their skills by observing experienced teachers and applying what they've learned in an actual classroom of students.TESOL Teaching OpportunitiesGraduates of Master's in TESOL programs have a wider range of professional options since they are qualified to work in a variety of educational settings in Asia, Europe and Latin America, from schools and universities to workplace settings and language institutes. They are also qualified to become school administrators, p rogram coordinators, teacher trainers and ESL/EFL educational materials specialists. It should be noted that some countries have visa restrictions that apply to teachers, so it's important for any U.S. citizen who wants to work overseas to research residency and employment laws in countries where they want to work.Many teachers seeking jobs overseas have a bachelor's degree in a non-related subject. The TESOL International Association reports that although salary levels for TESOL instructors vary considerably from one country to the next, teachers with higher educational degrees can expect to be seen as more desirable by overseas employers and qualified for higher salaries. Job seekers with limited TESOL training are at risk of finding only assignments with low pay, long work hours and no benefits. Those with a Master's in TESOL tend to receive higher salaries and additional job benefits, like travel support. A master's degree also provides greater career flexibility for teachers wh o return to the United States after working abroad.Contact Rossier Online TodayIt is never too late to become a TESOL teacher, and there are many areas throughout the country that have a high need for quality TESOL educators. If you want to make a difference in the classroom and teach subjects that you feel passionate about, apply to USC today. This groundbreaking Master of Arts in Teaching TESOL program will give you the tools to be more marketable in the changing environment of education.Country Spotlight: AzerbaijanTeach Away is currently hiring for positions in international schools in Azerbaijan.

How to land a teaching job in Spain

How to land a teaching job in Spain If you’ve ever thought about teaching abroad in Europe, then it’s more than likely that teaching English in Spain has crossed your mind. It’s got a booming ESL industry and teachers flock there in search of day time naps and sangria. We’re sure there are other incentives, but day time naps, how could you not? Siestas and sangria aren’t all Spain has to offer - it’s a soccer-mad country, where if you don’t already love futbol, you soon will. That’s not to say that teaching English in Spain is going to be the same regardless of where you go. In fact, you’ll find very different reports from ESL teachers across the country. From quiet country towns to bustling cities like Madrid and Barcelona, there are all sorts of lifestyles on offer (don’t worry, the naps are always included). Whether you’re looking for a quiet beachside escape from it all or a town with a little more swagger, you’ll find a school that suits you. The people are friendly, the food is beyond delicious, and the scenery is spectacular (seriously, I just wasted 10 minutes of my life gawking at stock photos, thinking maybe I should be in Spain!) So how do I get a job, Google isn’t much help here? The reason that Google doesn’t throw up a bajillion jobs for teaching English in Spain is that they’re not usually listed online. It’s a very different culture to what you might be used to and unlike schools in other countries, Spanish schools tend to hire on the spot. As in, you walk right up to the school and present them with your resume. If pavement pounding isn’t your thing, teaching ESL in Spain may not be for you. It’s certainly not for the faint of heart, and unless you’ve got enough gumption to land (not necessarily on your feet) and roll with it… then we suggest somewhere a bit less spur of the moment. There’s a lot of competition and enough English speakers seem to show up and wing it, that they haven’t had to start mass TEFL teacher recruiting online. That being said… it’s a small amount of initial discomfort for a life that includes daytime naps. What kind of ESL jobs do they have? There are three main categories of jobs and plenty of options. I’ve done a round-up below to make it pretty straight forward for you. The most common way to teach English in Spain is probably to approach a private academy once you land! 1. Openings at private schools and language academies Private schools are a legitimate way to go about landing an English teaching job in Spain. You will lead your own classroom and be able to find a full-time job that offers a good salary, benefits and even paid vacation. Ehm, yes, please! Sadly, you need to be in Spain to get these jobs. The bright side of that is this: you can start with where you want to live and figure the rest out once you land. You’ll have the flexibility of trying the city out before you knock on a school’s door and sign a year-long contract. It does mean that you should probably have some savings if you plan to teach English in Spain. At least to tide you over until the first pay cheque. Do you have a TEFL/CELTA/TESOL? Then you should land one of these types of jobs easy peasy. If you don’t have one of these teaching certificates- maybe consider getting a TEFL before you do anything else. Not only will it arm you for the classroom. It will answer pretty pressing questions like - how do I make this rowdy mob of Spanish kids speak English? Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. 2. Language and Cultural Assistant jobs (aka Auxiliares de conversación) Becoming a Language and Cultural assistant is probably the least terrifying way of securing a job teaching English in Spain. Hours are pretty light with teachers only working about 12-16 hours per week so you won’t make as much as you would in a private school. Actually, you’ll make considerably less, pocketing between $790 - 1,100, which is enough to survive in a country with a low cost of living. Let’s just say you won’t be indulging in tapas every night of the week. The requirements include a TEFL certificate and to be enrolled in a four-year degree program. This is a perfect gap-year option for those of you who want to have a year in Spain and experience the lifestyle! The program looks for residents from any of the following countries: any EU country, the US, Canada, New Zealand, Australia or China. For more information on teaching English in Spain this way - check out the program’s official website. 3. Private tutoring gigs Spanish families are always recruiting private English tutors to either improve their business English skills or to get their little ones up to scratch. They’re not really looking for your traditional teacher and tend to just want to invest in a more immersive way of learning. This can be in their homes or at a café. Some families will hire a live-in teacher to be on-hand to give private lessons to their children several times a week! Kind of like an au pair but without the diaper changing (although, you might end up with a job that’s more au pair than private tutor - ??be careful!) This is a fabulous way to wheedle your into an authentic Spanish lifestyle and is also probably the quickest route to culture shock. Think about those big family meals and paella… Why not check out this this teacher’s story on what it’s like living and teaching English in Spain? Okay, so hit me with the requirements for teaching Englis in Spain These can vary - some schools will want a licensed teacher and teaching experience, but most are just looking for the following: ??A college degree A TEFL certification ??Native English speaking proficiency Bonus points and muchos opportunities if…puedes hablar un poco de español! What about some cold hard cash? Show me the money! As we’ve mentioned, Language and Cultural Assistants are likely to make between $790 - 1,100 USD a month. If you keep your expenses low and travel cheaply, this is still plenty of money to fund a decent lifestyle in Spain. Private tutoring will depend on how many hours you take and is pretty variable. It tends to be without a contract. The best option, if you’re concerned about money, is private academies. Here you will have benefits, paid holidays and a comfy wage of between $1,300 - 2,000 per month. Note that the higher end of this scale will probably go to teachers with lots of experience. Even though you will be making money, we do not recommend landing in Spain flat broke. Save a little first, that way the first month of job hunting won’t be quite so terrifying. Also, seeing as we’re talking cash, budget airlines and railway tickets are a great way to get around Europe, and Spain is perfectly located for a little interrailing. So why not plan a few weekends in Germany, Portugal, or well, anywhere really… When’s the best time to look for a job? That really depends what sort of job you’re interested in. The government-run programs generally have a spring application (which you can do in your home country) with a start date of the following fall. As for private academies - you will probably get lucky any time of year. That being said, the peak times are September, October and January (the beginning of the school semesters) and there’s bound to be more options around then.

ACT Aspire What is it - TutorNerds

ACT Aspire What is it - TutorNerds What on Earth is the ACT Aspire? Do you ever feel, as a parent, that your child is exposed to endless testing? Do you feel as though many of these standardized tests have more of a business (I.e. money making component than actual academic assessment? Since the implementation of my professional career I have seen the SAT go from a 1600 top score to a 2400 top score with the addition of an essay and the breakdown of the verbal section to the Critical Reading and Writing sections. I have seen the beginning of the CAHSEE (California High School Exit Exam we have tutors for that), used in CA and OR. The SAT is soon to change once again and the ACT went from an afterthought to widely popular (READ: ACT Tips From a Private Irvine Tutor). Personally, as a private Orange County test prep tutor, I would like to see more time for actual learning. Kids become tired very easily and I would prefer to see them use their mental energy on academics than filling in bubbles. Most teachers that I talk to would much prefer to teach, than to ‘teach to the test’. After all, we do not fill in bubbles in real life. We do, however, balance our checkbooks, make investments, write emails and read books (all components of math and English). So my first thought when I heard about the ACT Aspire was, why do we have yet another test? To perform a well rounded critique, I have to go through it with a balanced eye and at least give it a chance. Bear with me and we can learn about it together. 1. What is the ACT Aspire? Based on the summary content on the website, it is a test for 3-8 graders and early high school students that examines abilities in reading, writing, math, science, and English. It is 4 hours long and it meets common core standards (CLICK: ACT Aspire). To me, this is not enough information. Don’t all standardized tests examine math and English (with reading and writing encompassed within it)? Doesn’t the ACT already cover science? Don’t all standardized tests meet common core standards? We definitely need to look further. 2. When did ACT Aspire first appear? According to their website, ACT Aspire came into play around 2012. Since it’s so new, why is it better than its predecessors? ‘New’ is generally a neutral statement, it could be good, bad or have no particular meaning at all. Let’s look further still. 3. What is it all about? Upon further investigation, I have discovered that the ACT Aspire replaces the ACT Plan and the ACT Explore starting in the 2014-2015 school year. In addition, the total testing time will vary between 3 hours and 50 minutes and 4 hours and 10 minutes, depending on the student’s grade level. On one hand, less testing means more time for actual learning. On the other hand, is 30 minutes of writing enough to determine if your third grader knows how to write? What if he or she zoned out for just that 30 minutes on that particular day but was paying attention the rest of the year? (READ: 5 Reasons Students Should Blog). 4. What types of questions are there? According to the website, the questions will vary between “multiple question types including constructed response, selected response, and technology-enhanced items”. To genuinely figure out how this test worked, I set out to take one 24-question section for myself. Excited to see how I did, I submitted my final answers. Unfortunately, I was redirected to the login page without a score. Either the ACT Aspire isn’t giving out scores or there are some substantial difficulties. The section that I completed was a multiple choice grammar and punctuation section and was very similar to the grammar correction sections on the ACT. So I suppose the ACT aspire will serve as a type of test prep for the ACT if you want the best test prep in Orange County, look no further than our college educated ACT tutors. The ACT Aspire offers both computer and pencil and paper based testing, which I would consider to be a good thing considering the difficult transition that schools are having with computer-based testing. (What if there are 35 computers but 40 students taking the exam? Not a good thing. What about mobile electronic devices where the keyboard pops up to cover part of the test? Frustrating.) 5. Bottom Line I see this as a version of the PSAT (only in prep for the ACT). I don’t see it as particularly bad or good just yet. I would like to know what I got on that grammar section though.

Finding Your Musical Passion

Finding Your Musical Passion Suzy S. Music has a way of impacting us to our very core no matter if youre listening to it, playing an instrument or singing. Cultivating that passion will help you go far in your music lessons. Read on as Mesa, AZ teacher Karen R. explains My musical passion was ignited as a little child because I was raised in a musical family where I was surrounded by music. My parents, sisters, and I were singers and instrumentalists. Through private music lessons, musical ensemble, and group experiences, I learned to sing and play instruments well. I latched on to music as a child because it gave me joy, hope, inspiration, self-esteem, delight, and enjoyment, especially during difficult circumstances. It became my flotation device in hard times. Through music, I could escape into a world of beauty and joy.   I have seen “The Sound of Music” innumerable times, because it captures the truth of how music powerfully transforms lives by creating joy, encouragement, and healing. Therefore, it is important that we, as musicians and music teachers, not only find our passion for music, but develop and sustain it. The first step for musicians is finding their musical passion. For beginning music students, they can start by researching different instruments and talking with music teachers to find out what instrument/instruments would suit them. They can reflect on what instrument they feel passionate or excited about. Budding musicians can also discover their musical passion by journaling about how listening to and playing music makes them feel. This will get them in touch with the powerful, healing and inspirational impact of music on their souls. Second, we need to envision and reflect on how we want to develop as musicians and what and who we want to become. All musicians including beginning, intermediate, and advanced, and even music teachers need to set short and long term goals and assess daily, weekly and monthly if they are where we want to be as musicians. Also, imagining and seeing ourselves as that musician is powerful. My short-term goals was to get back into musical theater and recently I landed the role of Mrs. Paroo in “Music Man!” My long-term goal is that I want to get a doctorate and do my thesis on the powerful impact of music on people. I envision myself as a musical theater actress and having a doctorate in music! Furthermore, all levels of musicians who want to grow and develop should practice with their instruments regularly, take private lessons, read musical literature, go to concerts and musical theater so they can listen to and observe other musicians and artists. Finally, we need to work on sustaining our musical passions on a daily and ongoing basis so we won’t become bored, disheartened, and discouraged. When I was a music major, there was a time that I felt discouraged and defeated because I felt so criticized. I then wrote self-affirmations on notecards about who I am as a musician, my strengths, and that this is God’s gift to me. I carried these notecards with me and looked at them frequently. Also, what is equally helpful is to write a mission statement about why we are musicians and music teachers. What is our purpose? My purpose is to perform music to lift, encourage, and give joy to people. My purpose as a teacher is to help maximize my students’ musical potentiality so they can create joy. Like this post?
