100 Secrets of the Scholarship Committee From Site... "My friends couldn't believe how I was able to take off traveling every year and still pay for University. In fact I was making more money during the summer months traveling than they were working full time in their home town. As a 25 year old female I've had the privilege to travel to countries all over the world including places like England , Spain , Thailand and Taiwan by teaching English. So, how could I afford these adventures? The truth is I couldn't, but I learned which schools would pay top dollar for English Speaking Citizens and the rest was history. These companies and schools have provided me with accommodations, food, flight reimbursements and a pile of cash to take home to the hip national bank..."
What is Your TEFL/TESL English Teaching Philosophy?
by Larry M. Lynch
The Interview
The interview seemed to be going along okay. Then the Director asked, “So what is your philosophy of teaching English?”
“My philosophy of teaching?” The TEFL interviewee twisted in her seat, tugging at the collar of a blouse that was suddenly too tight. She felt water running down her back. A certain dampness coated her palms.
“Yes. Do you have a philosophy of teaching?” the director repeated. The interview had taken a distinctive downturn. Top positions paying top dollars require top professionals.
“Well, I’m not really sure what you mean.” the teacher responded. “I can tell you what I do in my classes, what materials I use and how I interact with the students. Is that what you mean?”
No, that’s NOT what the Language Institute Director meant. The interview ended. So did the teacher’s prospects at that high-level institution.
Philosophy of Education
A teacher’s philosophy of education is now used as a major marketing strategy by savvy teachers and has become an essential component of a teacher’s CV and portfolio. It has evolved to become part of the teacher’s personal profile, which outlines all of his essential skill sets and unique qualities, and highlights the teacher’s specialties. (D. Sofsian, 2006) Reference these web sites for further information:

Expert author Damian Sofsian in his article, “Teacher Education Philosophies”, talks about five types of teaching philosophies: (http://ezinearticles.com/?Teacher-Education-Philosophies&id=227410)
• Liberal – which aims at developing intellectual powers
• Behavioral – these ideologies focus on the survival skills of a human being and the role of education in teaching them
• Progressive - motivates cultural development of an individual in order to bring about societal change
• Humanistic - trends look at the overall development of the personality and characteristics of an individual
• Radical – these philosophers are interested in beneficial changes that should happen in a society from time to time, and the role of education in bringing about political, social and economical changes Teacher education philosophy is now a major marketing strategy used by EFL and TEFL teachers and has become an essential component of a language teacher resume and personal profile. (D. Sofsian, 2006)

Your Philosophy of Education
What is your philosophy of education? If you “don’t have one” now would be a good time to more thoroughly investigate aspects of one. Add your philosophy to all your teaching areas. Let it pervade what you do and how you approach your craft from every angle from preparation to class activities, problem-solving, discipline and assessment. Your philosophy helps set you apart from those who might just show up, do the minimum and collect their paychecks. In these days of increasing professionalism, increased requisites for teaching staff and higher expectations on the part of Educational Administrators, TEFL teachers, regardless of current status, simply cannot afford to be lax.
Prof. Larry M. Lynch is an ELT Teacher Trainer, English language learning expert author and university professor in Cali, Colombia. He has published more than 350 articles and academic papers and presented at numerous EFL teacher training and TEFL conferences throughout North America, South America and Europe.
