Teaching in Indonesia??
Posted: 24 Mar 2010, 21:14
Hiya,
I am new to this and would like any advice that anyone can offer!
I am planning on going to Indonesia because I went there a couple of years ago traveling for a very short time. I loved it and would love to go back for much longer. I love working with kids and so thought teaching English could be a good option. I have a degree.
My first question is what TEFL course to do. I was looking at the 120 hour I-to-I course, it appealed to me but so did many others. I was wondering if they were all much the same standard or if there are any that have a better reputation etc. Also, I was wanting to do the 120 hour course. I noticed there are shorter courses, are they really a waste of time since you learn less or are the shorter courses still good?
I was also wondering is it best to find a job before I go or is it best to get to Indonesia and find a job when I am there? I would probably prefer to have a position before I go but if it is much better once I am there then I am also happy to wait.
Thanks so much in advance for ANY advice!
Thanks again,
Kerry
