Could you direct me to the best place to find opinions on various programs - would love to talk to someone who has completed the course. Specifically, any good or bad takes on TEFLcorp.com (http://www.teflcorp.com/tefl_certificate.htm)? Seems affordable, and I'm looking to complete in a month or so, with job placement.

Unique! Controversial! Different from the rest!”)’ Ha! This is precisely my current experience here in Taiwan with a private student. We are currently working on the beauty of debates, hot topics and the acceptableness of expressing ones own opinions. We've just recently had a breakthrough moments, where the awkward silence was somewhat filled with a slight shade of personal viewpoint in regards to the current Chinese trade agreement on the table. I see a glimmer of hope. I'll try my best to see if I can come with anything Matador worthy. Otherwise, I look forward to reading other people experiences. ‘a long year in Beijing trying to teach Chinese students to argue (“your own point of view! Unique! Controversial!
