> I just started my first week teaching pre-school and am having a harder time than I expected. My students are age 2-4 in one class and 3-6 in another. Having fun during activity time and going to the park is no problem, but when it comes to the actual teaching of new stuff, I feel like I am talking to a brick wall. The kids are at varying levels - some not speaking any English at all and others that have been in the school for a year or more and have the basics of the classroom down already. I am pretty sure that I am going to have to get down to very basics and teach the things around the classroom (table, chair, put on your jacket) so that the class can flow.

> Also, any hints on getting them to do what you are telling them to do (like stop running in the classroom or quiet down during story time). There is only one or two very "hyper" kids in one of my classes. They start acting up and then the whole class gets into it. I guess what i am really looking for is pointers on how to gain control of a class of 2-4 year olds, and keep their attention when others seek to divert it away from me. Any pointers at all would be appreciated. Thanks!

Nice job Blake and Ashley!

So glad to hear that things are going so well!

sincerely,

Andrea from Toronto

Hi,

There are quite a few countries that will hire you with your certification.

Please e-mail me at andrea_d@globaltesol.com and include your resume as well as the countries where you wish to go.

> HI, MY NAME IS STEPHANIE. I AM GOING TO BE TRAVELLING THIS YEAR TO COSTA RICA, AND I WAS JUST WONDERING IF THERE WAS ANYONE ELSE ALREADY IN COSTA RICA THAT HAS GONE TO TELL ME ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE THERE OR SOMEONE TO MEET UP WITH WHILE I AM DOWN THERE.

Hi Stephanie, C.R. is a wonderful, peaceful country. It's inexpensive, the Ticas/Ticos are friendly, the country is beautiful, but the coffee is not great---they export their best coffee. The transportation is efficient but a little scary---they drive fast and the roads are bad cause of all of the rain. Car rental is very expensive.

I actually would love to have my first TESOL job in C.R. If you happen to get any contacts, please share them with me.

When are you going? I'd love to accompany you. Joyce

I was wondering if anyone here has received a transfer credit at their university for the Global TESOL course. If you have, could you e-mail me ASAP at ktabak @ dal.ca It's very urgent.

Thank-you.
