The City Paper (TN)
June 30, 2008
Amy Griffith reports that Metro Nashville Public Schools is changing the way it assigns its English language learner students to the system’s schools. The change will reassign around 600 students from ELL Centers, which could be up to an hour from their homes, to ELL Program Schools in their neighborhoods.

Hello again,
I wonder how much we really understand about communicating in this age in which the means of disseminating information …
…have proliferated at the expense, it seems to me, of the quality of the message.
Let me give you two examples. Our privatised water company recently sent a standard letter to our part town to inform us that work on upgrading the water mains was due to begin and would last for eight months. The crucial

Hello Readers,
I’m curious to know how many hours a week you teach on average. While many university contracts include a maximum of 10-12 hours of teaching per week, quite a few private language schools …
… have their teachers teaching 30 hours or more.
This month’s survey is:
How many hours a week do you teach?
1-5
6-10
11-15
16-20
21-25
26-30
31-35
36-40
more than 40

Hello again,
I always find this topic sparks lively debate. When second languages were taught by the grammar/translation method, everyone seemed fairly clear about what should be taught and in what order. Verbs in all their complexity dominated the scene and conjugations and inflections were learnt by rote. The result was that language learners understood a good deal about how the target language was constructed but had little…

About
The William Brewster Online/Onsite TESOL/TEFL/TESL Institute (TESOL1.net) is now offering 2 internationally recognized premium online TESOL/TEFL/TESL certificate courses, as well as a free short online TEFL/TESOL/TESL course. We are now offering an online DipTESOL (TESOL/TEFL/TESL Diploma) as well.
The first course we offer is our comprehensive, 200 hour online TESOL/TEFL/TESL certificate program. From now until the end of April we are offering this program at a special price of $109.99 . This complete interactive online TESOL/TEFL/TESL certificate program includes our job placement guarantee and free online TEFL/TESOL/TESL CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning), audiovisual, young learner, early learner and advanced learner qualifications, as well as Free Business English qualifications. Tuition for this complete online TESOL/TEFL/TESL is normally $199. This comprehensive online course with bonus qualifications takes about four weeks to complete if done full time, but may take longer if you are busy or have a lot of other commitments and responsibilities.
For those in a hurry to get certified and teaching we have recently added an internationally recognized 120 hour basic online TEFL/TESOL/TEFL certificate course for just $69.99, inclusive of guaranteed job placement. This course contains all the essentials for TESOL/TEFL/TESL certification, and can be completed in 2-3 weeks full time, but may be completed at one’s own pace. Through the end of April we are also offering this course at a special rate of $59.99
Both certificate courses include one on one interaction with a live tutor who provides feedback on your coursework and is delighted to answer any questions whatsoever you may have about anything pertaining to teaching English to speakers of other languages.
The free online TEFL/TESOL/TESL course does not offer a certificate or interaction, but provides sample modules and access to a special forum to chat with other free online TESOL/TEFL/TESL course participants.
In addition to our online TESOL/TEFL/TESL course we offer an onsite TESOL/TEFL/TESOL course. Our 200 hour on-site program features a minimum of 12 hours observed teaching practice and is located in the beautiful tropical forest town of Bogor, Indonesia, only a short drive from the Jakarta airport, but away from all the hustle and bustle, nestled at the base of a mountain rainforest resort area.
This onsite TESOL includes guaranteed job placement in Indonesia. Our next four-week intensive course will begin on Monday, March 6, 2006. Click the link on the navigation bar to learn more.
The Brewster Online TESOL/TEFL/TESL Institute has recently been falsely accused of being a diploma or certificate mill. We resolutely state here that it is our firm policy that no TESOL/TEFL/TESL certificates shall be issued by the Brewster Online TESOL/TEFL/TESL Institute without the completion of the requisite coursework for any reason, nor have any ever been. An experienced teacher’s experience will be manifest through his/her responses to our assignments, thus eliminating the need for any other experiential assessment.
Our online TESOL/TEFL/TESL certificate programs feature an optional “Earn While You Learn” program, in which we guarantee FULLY PAID TESOL JOB PLACEMENT to our students WHILE THEY GET THEIR ONLINE TESOL/TEFL/TESL!

Look what we are offering for only $59.99 and $109.99 respectively and compare it to other online TESOL/TEFL/TESL courses.

These $195 online TESOL courses also only provide 50 hours of training to our 120 hours for $59.99 or 200 hours with special qualifications for $109.99.
We are also the only online TESOL or teacher training program which offers GUARANTEED JOB PLACEMENT WHILE YOU CERTIFY!!!!
Most online TESOL programs also either do not offer, or charge hundreds of dollars extra for, CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning), Young and Early Learners, or Multimedia Learning. These programs are becoming a universal part of the TESOL/TEFL/TESL field, and we offer them, as stated above, at no additional charge with our comprehensive TESOL program.
We offer more than any other online TESOL/TEFL/TESL certificate program on the market, at a far more affordable price. You will pay several hundred to several thousand dollars elsewhere for a program far less complete and comprehensive than what we are offering for $59.99 to $109.99. Check around with all the other online TESOL providers and see for yourself.
Look around and see what we have to offer compared to other online courses. We are confident that what we have to offer will stand alongside any online TESOL program, at a far better price.
