Hi again,

I had to download the Adobe program first which took about two hours on dial-up and then attempted to download the manual again, only to be told that it had permanent errors.....so, I right clicked the mouse and selected 'Open in a new window'. After much hesitation, a documentary and a crime show, it finally downloaded the Workbook. So I tried that method on the Manual and way later got a print out of several foreign languages and hieroglyphics. So the Manual definitely has some kinks to iron out. Will attempt to do the rest tomorrow.
Hope this helps.

Does anyone have any information regarding teaching art (fine arts: painting, sculpture, drawing, etc.) in English in Korea?

Thanks for the help.

Hello

I just started the online courses and I have been able to access the courses without any problems.Basically all i did was sign in.Once I signed in, I was dircted to another page that listed all the jobs available in different countries and to the right side of the page I could see all of my courses listed with an Adobe logo and the word access.I clicked on the course I wanted to see and it was then displayed on Adobe.

I hope this helps. Mike

I'm in need of some help also. I can't seem to find the online courses either.

Hi,
I can't even download the manuals yet but am trying again today.
Good luck

If you're considering teaching in a European country and don't speak much if any of its local language and can't find a place to learn some of it before you go, I suggest taking some German lessons ahead of time.

I spoke very little Czech before I came to the Czech Republic as there was no place to learn it around my hometown in Canada before I left.

Any time that I've had to tell someone that I couldn't speak Czech or didn't understand enough of it to understand what they were saying to me, invariably their next line has been to ask if I could speak German. This has also held true for trips that I've taken to Slovakia and Hungary. If I couldn't speak the local language and the person speaking to me couldn't speak English I got asked if I could speak German.

Like English, German is one of those languages that is in high demand for business, so you'll find a lot of people who can speak it because they work for German based companies who require them to speak it.

French, Italian or Spanish will also be very helpful in European countries, but from what I've seen, I'd say a command of German would be more reliable.

My advice comes from 20/20 hindsight. Had I known axactly how widespread German was in Europe and how many could speak it, I'd have taken a few courses in it (as opposed to Russian courses that I took) before coming here.

German is considered a key language in Europe, basically spoken widely enough that your chances of finding someone who can speak it wherever you go in the continent are very good.

Thanks for the replies. We will keep looking and hopefully something will come up.

India is a vast country, Imagine teaching a class of 200 students in a room so small that you can't even turn around.

Imagine children standing outside the classroom door, and straining to listen, because there is no room for them inside.
Imagine thousands of children who do not attend school because they are needed in factories or have failed school or dropped out by Grade 3. Imagine schools where children have no playgrounds in which to play or books to read. here in Canada we cannot even imaging our kids in such a dramatic situation, with hardly any clothes to wear, or being able to have money to buy food let alone books with which to study. what can new teachers who have just graduated do about it. what a way to receive experience in teaching by volunteering in a country that has the shortage of Teachers, who can tell me does making money mean so much (yes i know we need money) but cant we give our time in such a way to help others have a chance in life. Myself i will be going to an Asian country in November while i am there i will be giving free English lessons. (I know thats not for everone)!

Tip of the month: Always be reminded take care of our world and yourself. If you show respect for the people that you work with and for and different cultures you meet, they will respect you.
