British have the field
I was just jokingly referring to gaining a British accent Actually, believe me, Im on your side. Even though Im a N. American, I believe the British have done a better job at promoting better ESL teaching techniques, materials and testing. Even when I compare British ESL textbooks with American, I find the British books brilliant. Simply, the British have invested more money and effort into the field.
However, I dont want to go as far as God save the Queen. In fact, Im also a Canadian, father Canadian and mother American, and I must admit it pisses me off to no end to see her on our money.no hard feelings mate.
As for me being too old for a career in ESL, no I can run circles around the twenty somethings. I have 3 and 8 year old kids in my class. I was told that I couldnt handle it because it was too much work(also I dont have blond hair nor can I sing and dance). But even with that against me, I got work in Japan and I love my kidsjust not the brain-dead housewives I have to teach (no, not the sexy oneswere talking in the 50s here).
Good luck in Korea, if thats what you REALLLLLY want. I hear its no paradise.
Cheers
