Gray list

Resources:
It’s easy to say that any reputable language school will have a selection of teaching resources (like handouts, card games, lesson plans, dictionaries and grammar books) but this isn’t necessarily the case. These resources take time and money to acquire and if a language school has just started out then it won’t necessarily have them yet. If they don’t have such resources ask them why and question if they have any plans to build up a resources section in the future.


Language school associations: Find out if an association of language schools exists in your chosen country, if they do then ask them some questions.

The contract:
Needless to say, when you get your contract you need to read it carefully. Make sure everything you agreed on is included and check that they haven’t added any sneaky clauses. Don’t be afraid to ask for a translated copy of the contract. This is completely normal and should be expected.

Research: research your school to make sure it is completely reputable.

I hope that thsi info will help you in some way.
here is a link you can visit and sign up with your resume.

I found that geocities grey list is non existant as well as English school watch.
Geocities has not been listed for several years now. I thought Geocities went out of business or merged and that the fellow running the grey list had stopped running it.
I am trying to list a school in Taiwan but, there is no place to list schools any more. Are there any grey lists out there?
I did not find a listing for Leons grey list either. the last one does not have a grey list either an dis black lists 2003. I didnt' see any link or tab for selection to post or read about blacklisted schools at black list 2003.

Hi John,
I find this site informative. I'm sure you can post negative info about schools here. As I'm thinking of going to Taiwan, I appreciate your report.

BA Degree to teach English abroad at a university or government school, This issue remains a gray area in many countries. A good TESOL diploma or certification in a given course will provide you all the basic skills you'll need to start your career abroad as an English teacher. You will learn how to:
Plan lessons
Engage your class
Keep discipline
Teach grammar, vocabulary, speaking, listening, reading and writing.
Most of all, you will be able to walk into a room full of expectant faces and conduct a lesson with confidence.

DON'T attempt to teach anywhere before you have obtained a TESOL Certificate or diploma.
Email employers your CV (cover letter) before leaving home.
DON'T assume your students are beginners. In case your students might have been learning English for a awhile.
