Many people want to know if there is are a many courses required to obtain the certification. It actually depends somewhat on which country you want to teach English. The Asian countries are more relaxed on certifications than Europe due to their greater need for native English speaking teachers. Some institutions will accept you without any type of certification at all.  As an example, the bigger schools in Japan have no requirement to be certified.The course time depends on which type of certification you are going to want. The TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) courses are not the same in length because it’s not a fixed certification, different schools will simply have different lengths and so forth. However, if time is a concern, the TEFL or TESOL certification can be completed either in a classroom environment or online; it really depends on where you want to do it. The fee will also be different from school to school.

You just need to look for something less costly and that you feel provides value to you so… [Read More...]

Lets consider TOEFL as an example. TOEFL has four sections i.e.Reading,Listening,Speaking and Writing.Let’s discuss them one by one: 1. Reading: Sections such as Reading and Writing are common to all the tests viz. GRE,GMAT,SAT,TOEFL and IELTS.To perform well in Reading,one should follow three most important strategies.These strategies are i).to read,(ii).to read and (iii).to read more and more.You should read not only the help books but also a lot of other books,newspapers and magazines of your choice.Whatever you read,read it fast and get used to grasp its contents at a very fast rate.Thus,the pressure of the time limit during the tests can be handled efficiently. 2. Listening: For some students,this section can be very tricky as they are not used to American accent.Therefore,it’s a good idea to watch some good news channels like CNN,BBC,etc.Listening to news programmes on All India Radio also is a good idea.Thus,you will realise the benefit of being a ‘good listener’. 3. Speaking: Students can learn a lot from Radio Jockeys (RJs).They should try to inculcate the quality of being spontaneous from a good RJ.A good RJ speaks with clarity and does not fumble.Even if he fumbles,he does not stop (But unlike RJs,you should know where to stop).He excuses himself and moves ahead.In the same manner,you also should avoid fumbles.And if you have fumbled,you have not committed a crime.It’s better to maintain your calm and move ahead. Reading something (newspaper,etc.) out improves your diction and clarity.Hence,you can perform well in… [Read More...]

ACADEMIC QUESTIONS: 1. How many universities did you apply to? This is a very basic question, but linked to this is the second question that is shot at you. 2. How many admits or rejections you have received? As explained in the above question, both of these are interlinked. Now if you applied to 4 were accepted in 1 and got 3 rejects. You don’t have to be Mr. TRUTH. So put it as applied to 4, got 1, awaiting 2, 1 reject or applied to 4, got 1, awaiting 3. (They will have the record of your admits and not of your rejections). But then state as this was supposed to be your first choice anyhow, so even if you would have had the admit letters from any of the other 3, you would certainly have gone for this one. 3. What is the purpose of your trip? The purpose of my trip is to do my MS in ___________ (E.g.: CS/Telecommunications/EE…whatever or PhD in _____) 4. What is your GRE/TOEFL score? Always try to speak out the better score first. Like if you have a good TOEFL score, say your TOEFL first and then GRE. Usually people think, they can go and lead them by answering long and sweet, like if asked for scores, the long answer might be : “Sir, I took my Computer based TOEFL and scored 270 at it, while I took the GRE and scored 800 in… [Read More...]

I have always wondered about the relevance of GRE/ GMAT / SAT/ IELTS. These exams have their own flaws and may be perceived as regressive patterns of testing the knowledge, aptitude and analytical abilities of a graduate student. I am in no which way an expert, scholar or authority who can strongly detest the usage of the aforementioned exams in selection criteria of students for a study abroad program. The bottom line is that these exams are bridges across global schools which facilitate the selection of deserving students.
In my honest opinion exams like GRE are a matter of hard work and luck; both the determinants sharing the credit of your success equally. However, at times you may have a bad day or may be you are ill while you appeared for the exams. The results obviously are skewed towards the lower percentiles. Now- a- days some institutions have been realistic enough to understand that the undergraduate GPA, work experience and a good resume, compounded with a professional letter of intent (for the desired study program) actually decide the capability of a student rather than the scores of standardized exams like GRE. The list of programs which may help you earn a MBA degree without GRE/ GMAT is given below. These institutions are in no which way associated with my professional or academic interests. As a matter of fact there are a growing number of students who have exceptional work experience and great… [Read More...]
