I am online now,and then I found a second letter:I will very happy if u could spare me some of ur time to explain some little information about teaching in Taiwan to me.
Hello Mr Micheal,So I wrote back to ask whether he had a BA. The drama continues......I wanted to know if I could be recruited into any teaching vacancy position to teach English in Taiwan.Since am from Africa and I have TEFL score.
UPDATE: 8/22 Yes, another letter has arrived...I have fallen off my "sir" pedestal and am now merely "mr".......
I don't find jobs -- got investigated once already by the Bureau of Labor for that. I guess he'll just have to be disappointed....hello mr micheal,yes to the question requested.i have a four year degree certificate and a TEFL cert.I also have Diploma in Business studies DBS and a high school certificate too.please kindly organise some school in taiwan for me so can come there and teach english language.Thanx n wait for u.
Did you receive Her Majesty's knighthood "sir micheal" for services for Blogging?
ReplyDeleteIt is frightening that people with such illiteracy could be employed as teachers of English in Taiwan.
I don't think they can -- he doesn't appear to have a BA. I've met a few Africans here, but not all of them were English teachers. Anyway, just getting here presents formidable obstacles of cash and visa.

This person's English sounds like my Chinese.
ReplyDeleteMy tutor saw some Chinese I'd written quickly, so I could look something up. She said "Oh, how cute! It looks just like a child's writing!"
But I'm not asking to teach the language, either.
"just say no."
I received an email from Japan from similar to that. I'm not sure where they got my email from or the idea I am an employer or a recruiter from.
