TEFL: The Straight Scoop

I was enjoying an iced americano at Stell Coffee and Tea Co. in Redlands, CA when the prospect of teaching English abroad first crossed my radar.  I was immediately enthralled with the possibilities.  Being an industrious young man, I thought surely a quick trip down Google lane would provide me with more than enough information to get started.  I have rarely been so wrong.  I discovered what so many people with like intentions must have discovered.  Google search results list countless pages, none of which are really any help.  You can query: TEFL and (insert place of your choice), “teach English abroad,” “teach overseas,” and so on.  You are unlikely to find more than lists of TEFL schools trying to sell their services.  It was quickly apparent that information sans marketing agenda would be very hard to find.  After many many MANY hours of searching, I have managed to find a few resources that were helpful.  To maximize the effect of my research, I thought it would be prudent to consolidate all of the resources and information I found.  Over the next few weeks I will be posting new information and resources for you.  If you have any specific questions, feel free to drop a line in askKeller.  I’ll do whatever I can to point you in the right direction.
