This Week's Contest: Motivating Students

Our last contest asked the question, "Why are you a TEFL teacher?" Not surprisingly, the majority of responses were along the lines of, "To see the world!" Many of our readers talked about working in Asia and being able to travel to other Asian countries relatively cheaply; others said the same about working in Europe. Our favorite reply, however, came from Christine L. in Osaka, Japan. She says that she stays in the field because she enjoys the comradeship she finds among other expats. "I’ve found that people who can successfully live and work outside their home countries are usually the most interesting people to know. I’d never have met such great people if I’d stayed in England my whole life." We agree, Christine, that TEFL people are superior beings (especially when they subscribe to our site!) and we are happy to enhance your expat lifestyle with five free English Toolbox credits!

For our next contest, tell us how you motivate learners who are frustrated or on the verge of giving up on learning English. The teacher with the best method will win five free English Toolbox credits, even if s/he does not currently subscribe. Send your contributions to info@englishtoolbox.com by 10 December.
