Refreshment TEFL Course in Thailand

This Thailand-based teacher’s development course is designed for anyone who has a TEFL qualification but has little or no experience teaching in a classroom setting, so want to refresh their TEFL skills and confidence in a classroom. Whether you completed your TEFL qualification some time ago or recently completed an on-line TEFL qualification, this refreshment TEFL course is bound to give you the experience and confidence you need to teach English anywhere in the world. Participants live on GVI’s expedition base in the Ao Luk district of Thailand and will teach in local education centres and venues, assisted by GVI’s experienced teachers and trainers. There are a number of side-trips you can also enjoy to explore the beautiful surrounding areas.

Teaching is still hard but everyday it's getting easier. I plan to travel for a while now and then look for a job in Japan - GVI have provided me with one good contact and shown me websites with dozens more.
