Try Teaching TEFL in Thailand!

(Teaching English Buddhist Exchange at TEFL Chiang Mai)

 

Another group of TEFL Students is graduating from Paradise TEFL’s TEFL Chiang Mai in just a few days. 

They have been with us since Halloween participating a certification program and studying Buddhism along the way. Ours is a unique program that combines  the professional development of a regular accredited TEFL certification program with the opportunity to study Theravada Buddhism while earning both basic TEFL/TESOL   and up to EIGHT additional advanced certifications at the same time. All of this is available, including top notch accommodations, for less than the price of tuition of a CELTA/Trinity or similar type of authorization.

Unlike many programs that stress theory, grammar and impractical approaches toward teaching English as a Foreign (or Second) Language, TEFL Chiang Mai student teachers spend most of their time interacting with Thai nationals either at the temple or during extensive hands on practice teaching sessions. There is an opportunity to participate in Dharma Talks with renown Buddhist Monk and Scholar Khun Pra Da Nai in the nearby local village/”jungle” temple or stay in the city and focus instead on teaching without the additional Buddhist studies component. The choice is up to you.

Either way, now is the best time to visit Chiang Mai (the "Rose of the North") to enjoy the fine weather, wonderful multi-cultural environment while escaping from the hectic seasonal “holidaze” of the material Christmas shopping season, while investing in giving yourself something you can really use for the upcoming New Year…new career opportunities and the chance to learn and grow both personally and professionally in the process. Thinking about helping a loved one for the future?  What better gift than the gift of education…? It’s a gift that keeps on giving (to others and yourself!)

Why put off for another year to come and go when you can pursue a path of a life changing career and an authentic cultural experience by contacting us today!

No Lie, High And Dry In Chiang Mai

No Lie, High and Dry in Chiang Mai

 

For those of you concerned about the flooding in Thailand we just wanted to reassure you that the flooding which happened in Chiang Mai more than a month ago was minor, unlike what is happening in parts of Bangkok. Don't let the media make you believe that the whole country is underwater. Our hearts go out to the victims of the flooding in Bangkok and other parts of the central interior just north of the city.

 

The Chiang Mai International Airport has never had any closure and remains open to serve you, while the same is true at the Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok. The weather has been lovely, as it normally is between November and February, and the start of Loy Krathong Lantern Festival is well underway. Here are some recent pictures of events in the North taken over the last couple of weeks. 

 

We remain open and ready to provide you with the best value in TEFL/TESOL training today in one of the world's most inspiring locations. We offer some of the lowest prices and most in depth hands on training through our practical approach and 2 or 3 week observed teaching practice. Take a look at what our Paradise TEFL Chiang Mai students have to say about the program by looking at a few testimonials.

 

If traveling to Asia isn't in your budget we are opening programs in the USA and Mexico. Also to better meet the needs of customers who are working and have family commitments we also offer our coursework on line and virtually for easier access and greater flexibility of time management.

 

A primary focus of our course is also to ensure that you have a good job and a job that you want and are interested in by the time you complete our course.  Training and learning can be fun, but the end goal is to make sure you have profitable employment in the city where you desire to live and work.

The course we offer you is not a traditional academic English course as you would obtain from a university or some of the other traditional TEFL – TESOL schools.  We believe that it is our job to prepare you for a real teaching job in the real world and not just bury you in an avalanche of facts, grammar rules and strict procedures.

 

The advanced course provides additional English Language teaching certifications and is offered in tandem with our site course in Chiang Mai Thailand, or as a complete series of online modules.  You should have already completed a TEFL, TESOL or CELTA course first in order to be eligible and teaching experience is necessary. (Our on-site program provides 2 to 3 weeks of hands on observed teaching practice to help our teachers to effectively develop their skills).

At TEFL Chiang Mai, we also offer and accommodations inclusive TEFL Buddhist-Exchange Program where-by teachers can also study Dharma in an amazing “jungle temple” near town with a monk and in return reciprocate with volunteer teaching hours as a means of making merit for the community.

All courses are certified and you will receive a certificate of completion, which is internationally recognized and accepted when you graduate from the course. Many of those who already have experience as TEFL instructors are finding that becoming a certified TEFL trainer is another opportunity and feather in their cap in terms of meeting the demand of TEFL instructors (who are leaving their home countries and working abroad) by teaching others how to teach TEFL effectively. 

Graduates with these additional certifications have the advantage of substantially increasing their marketability and employment status. Improve your chances of getting a good job with a higher level of pay by enrolling today!

The TEFL Buddhist Exchange program is similar to other Paradise TEFL programs in that it offers the same certification and coursework assignments and structure. In addition however, it provides TEFL teachers with the chance to learn and interact with a local rural population and Buddhist monk Pra Da Nai who will facilitate the Buddhist Studies portion of the course.

As of the last week of October the program is filling up fast. The price includes accommodations which can be seen on the website under TEFL Buddhist Exchange’s home page.

This part of Thailand is known for its own distinct Northern style Thai cuisine and prized “Lanna-Thai” hand crafted culture.  

In the heart of this is an amazing Buddhist Temple, which is more of a series of holy buildings and shrines highlighted by a 999 step pathway leading to the top of the mountain above the town’s famous Buddhist Chedi/Stupa. According to the head Abbot, the older chedi , houses ancient relics of several monks who served directly under the Buddha himself. People from as far away as Bangkok routinely make regular visits to the site to climb the stairs as a merit making pilgrimage and to 

A recently blessed brand new school campus sits adjacent to the temple area which serves to educate the rural population both young and old alike in the areas of Buddhist Studies, English Language Instruction, and Computer and IT technology.

 

Teaching as a profession is perhaps one of the most conventional ways to obtain this kind of merit. But the profession also takes much mental development which also takes Effort and Concentration, two additional “right” paths for those interested in seeking self-improvement.

 For the price you can get TEFL/TESOL and additional Eight Advanced English Language Teaching Certifications for about half the price of a CELTA or Trinity programs in the US or UK. Why not study TEFL and Buddhism and give something back to the community?

Here Paradise TEFL students have the unique opportunity not only to study both Buddhist thought, history and Dharma with Theravada monks while developing a meditation practice, but also Teaching English as a Foreign Language to a eager population as they hone their practice teaching skills as a part of a cultural exchange process.

Many people chose to become educators because of the desire to be a force of positive change and “make a difference” for others the world over. More than ever, English is the language of economic opportunity and social networking. This is certainly also the case for those pursuing a career in teaching English as a second/foreign language. If you examine the basic Buddhist precepts, the idea of “Right Livelihood” is one which both Buddhist monks and Buddhist scholars refer to time and time again as part of the :eight fold noble path." Teach

ing as a lifestyle has its rewards, including long anticipated holidays, but it is also one means of achieving “Ethical Conduct” among a “noble profession” and serves as a potential or partial means of achieving enlightenment.
