Is it time to go home?
Re: Is it time to go home?
I have friends that teach in Taunggyi and Mawlamyine but I've only been there once so what do I know.phuketrichard wrote:i say that cause in all my travels throughout the country over my past 6 trips have seen no english language schools outside Yangon.Gardiguy wrote: ↑Wed Mar 07, 2018 8:00 am "there is work for Teachers in Myanmar BUT Not teachers without qualifications and outside of Yangon, no english language schools."
There are plenty of English teaching jobs outside of Yangon, not sure why you would say there aren't any. The problem with most teaching jobs there though are the hours, I have a friend teaching there that works upwards of 60 hours a week once you figure in all the extras required by the schools. Plays, parent meetings, etc.
the teachers i do know, ( in Yangon and Mandalay) teach at international schools and work 8-4...

Also dear OP, engrish teacher, not to many commies, not two many commies, just TOO. Feel kind of sorry for the kids that you’re teaching...Username Taken wrote: ↑Tue Mar 06, 2018 10:13 pm You missed it.
Let's try again. You wrote:
"vietnamese it ok to actually but I been there 5times."
As an English teacher, you should have written:
"Vietnamese it be ok two. But, ashley I's been their 5 times."
I actually don't give a flying fuck, furthermore nice to meet you all here!

There are some in Mandalay.
For example, Northumbria English language Training Centre, English for the Real World Language School, Guiding Star English Learning Centre, and Acuity English Language Centre.

I'm trying to avoid being a Grammar Nazi, but when I see people whose English is terrible lambasting others for their English-language skills, I do feel compelled to point out the hypocrisy.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Wed Mar 07, 2018 8:53 amteach english in a language school or teach a subject at a full school?

They're not themselves in a position to criticise. They're not employed as a teacher, and I doubt they ever have been. As such, I doubt they would be aware of openings or institutions. Photography studios, maybe.
In other words, disregard what they post.
Use Google, or find a local forum with currently-teaching members in Myanmar if you can.
This advice is offered in the spirit of the forum, which should be to assist people, not tear others down.
Try TEFL.com or seriousteachers.com...but your best bet is to contact people who are teaching there at the moment.
As with any developing country, internet adverts are few and far between, and usually posted only by truly international schools.

Re: Is it time to go home?
I did a couple of week long trips to Yangon in the early 2000's before the place really opened up, then when it did open up the cost of accomodation in Yangon shot up overnight due to a shortage for increased visitor numbers. I wonder if the higher salaries on offer are to some extent offset by the higher accomodation cost relative to other neighbouring countries in the region. Obviously you look at both sides of the equation when considering moving.
Yes sir, I can boogie, I can boogie, boogie, boogie all night long.

Re: Is it time to go home?
Richard has often admitted that he is aware his writing skills aren't up to much. He is not claiming to be an English teacher himself so his criticisms of the barely-literate BKK Trapper are valid. I can criticize someone who carelessly crashes a truck without being a truck driver myself.that genius wrote: ↑Wed Mar 07, 2018 10:25 amI'm trying to avoid being a Grammar Nazi, but when I see people whose English is terrible lambasting others for their English-language skills, I do feel compelled to point out the hypocrisy.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Wed Mar 07, 2018 8:53 amteach english in a language school or teach a subject at a full school?

Silence, exile, and cunning.
Re: Is it time to go home?
If trapper really wants to try something new he could go teach English in Colombia, you won't make tons of money but they have amazing beaches, beer, babes and beautiful weather year round. As an oz he would also be a special snowflake, although it might be a bit far from home for him.
Edit: Columbia ~ Colombia
