From the article: English Teaching Experiences
Teaching English abroad is a wonderful opportunity for many English teachers to travel and see the world. Of course, teaching English is a profession and the treatment of English teachers from contractual to cultural can vary greatly from country to country. These shared experiences will help teachers get insight into what might await them in various locations. Please make sure to provide the country and city where you taught. It's probably best not to include the name of the institution, as the purpose of this resource is to provide a general indication of conditions rather than an indictment of specific schools.

l like to visit lake like lake toba
- As English as foreign langauge in Indonesia,it is very difficult to teach the Indonesian Students to pronounce words in English. However, for some words ,for instance LIKE and LAKE the sound is alike. The students have to stop for a moment to be aware about the word they are spelling. In this case the student not only improve their English, but also their awarness for all their live.

Wonderful is to Wondering English
- TO me, teaching English in Cambodia would be a good but tiring jobs. As you know, this country has it all similar grammar aspects of English. Students are wonderful as they talk and write while you are explaining. Classroom could be another daydreaming for most teachers. You need to own-made your materials. Makes great effort to teacher center approach. Otherwise, you would put yourself into yourself, not students. Hence, this society needs the utmost care from you all teachers. Students need to hear their real improvement. I think tests do encourage many but to me tests are illusions. Students hardly ever focus to complete but to compete on one matter than the others, all. I want them to be practical, functionally go to use their English in the real job market and their skills, with great communication aptitude after graducation. But how and how long, no one can predicts. This is my thought. Thanks.

China and Taiwan
- Taiwan is ahead of the curve teacher-wise and socially. Citizens of both countries are friendly and welcoming. China will block websites. Oral English is emphasized in most positions. Grammar rules are taught by in-house staff. Try to learn the about language and the culture before you go. Contracts usually mean what you negotiate, but not always. Sanitation is different than most westerners understanding. There are opportunities. Take a good attitude and patience with you.
