The most TEFLtastic attempts at humour in 2009

Wasn’t a great year for humour on TEFLtastic (must be taking my job seriously in my old age?!), but I did manage my most successful spoof yet, if not quite up to the standard of UN to Ban Unnecessary Languages:

Don’t Do the CELTA

The others were mainly based on stuff from 2008, with The Alternative A to Z of ELT getting up to Part 26 and Money Saving Tips for TEFLers having more than a passing resemblance to 109 Slogans for Crappy English Schools. Luckily Sputnik was there to add a bit of originality (and how!) with A Short Diversion in Which We Advert to Ancient Chinese Wisdom, a level of wit you can find more of at The TESLA Coil.

Other places to go for more TEFL humour in 2009:
