Usenet Newsgroup misc.education.language.english Editor's Note: This is now a very old file - from 1995! At the moment I'm leaving it for historical purposes. With the kind permission of Meg Gam. VOLTERRE-FR is making available extracts from the Frequently Asked Questions files for the misc.education.language.english Usenet newsgroup. Why reinvent the wheel? Skip over to Nevada and read the December 1995 update which Kristina Harris has so kindly done with lots of HTML work at TESL/FL Resource Guide http://www.linguistic-funland.com/mele.faq.html which is part of Linguistic Funland. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: BY MEG GAM I've covered just about everything that anyone has ever asked me about TESL/FL, but I don't guarantee that it's perfect. (what is?) If you find anything that I've missed, or anything that is incorrect, please feel free to let me know - that's probably the main way that corrections will get into the FAQ. This FAQ is not meant to lean heavily in any one direction, however I will admit that it has a decidedly American bent (particularly in the area of "culture books". That's only because I am American, and the people who gave me advice while I was writing the FAQ are Americans also. If you are from another country, and you'd like to suggest inclusions which reflect your country's culture, by all means, let me know, so I can include them. I hope you enjoy this FAQ, and that it is helpful or useful to you in some way. Meg Gam Tired FAQ writer copyright, Meg Gam, 1995 WELCOME TO MISC.EDUCATION.LANGUAGE ENGLISH: A NEWSGROUP FOR TEACHERS OF ENGLISH TO SPEAKERS OF OTHER LANGUAGES Many thanks to Mark Israel for his advice, help and support, as well as his permission to use information from his extremely informative FAQ for the newsgroup alt.usage.english. WHAT IS MISC.EDUCATION.LANGUAGE.ENGLISH? m.e.l.e. is a newsgroup intended for discussion of issues in teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. 1. Please send suggestions/flames/praise to me by e-mail rather than posting them to the newsgroup. The purpose of an FAQ file is to reduce traffic, not increase it. 2. This is in no sense an "official" FAQ file. Feel free to start your own. I certainly can't stop you. 3. Please don't expect me to add a topic unless (a) you're willing to contribute the entry for that topic; (b) *either* the topic has come up at least twice in the newsgroup, *or* the entry gives information that cannot readily be found elsewhere. Thanks to all who *have* contributed! TABLE OF CONTENTS What is ESL? What is EFL? Is there any difference between ESL and EFL? What is TEFL? What is TESL? What does one need to do to be an ESL teacher? What is the RSA/CTEFL? How does the RSA/CTEFL compare with the MA-TESL? Where can one find out about C-TEFL programs available in the U.S.? Where can one find out about MA-TESL programs? What about other certificate programs? Where can one find out about TESL/FL teaching jobs in other countries? What about the Peace Corps? What about other volunteer programs one can join to go abroad and teach English without experience? What resources for ESL/FL teachers are available on the Internet? Mailing lists WebSites ESL MOO Gopher Sites Organizations for ESL/FL professionals Books for teaching ESL/FL Grammar All-purpose Books Communications/Conversation/Activities Books Basic Texts/Survival English Culture Texts (US Culture) Magazines for teachers of ESL/FL Some Universities Offering MA-TESL programs Some Universities Offering Distance MA-TESL's WELCOME TO MISC.EDUCATION.LANGUAGE.ENGLISH! misc.language.education.english is a newsgroup where we can discuss topics of interest to teachers of English to speakers of other languages. We discuss different situations that come up and how to deal with them, teaching techniques for various topics/issues/subjects, classroom projects, games, activities... Things you might want to consider not posting here: 1 - Questions that can be answered by simple reference to a dictionary. 2 - Generalities. If you make a statement like: "American English speakers ALWAYS say/do 'X thing'",, or "ALL British English speakers say/do 'Y thing'", or if you make country or culture-specific generalizations regarding TESL/FL, there's a strong likelihood that someone will come back at you with a counterexample. 3 - Assertions that one variety of English is "true English". 4 - Sloppy writing (as distinct from simple slips like typing errors, or errors from someone whose native language is not English). Please keep in mind that the regulars on misc.education.language.english are probably less willing than the general population to suffer sloppy writers gladly; and that each article is written by one person, but read perhaps by thousands, so the convenience of the readers really ought to have priority over the convenience of the writer. Again, this is *not* to discourage non-native speakers from posting; readers will be able to detect that you're writing in a foreign language, and will make allowances for this. (6) Expressions of exasperation. In the course of discussion, you may encounter positions based on premises radically different from yours and perhaps surprisingly novel to you. Saying things like "Oh, please", "That's absurd", "Give me a break",or "Go teach your grandmother to suck eggs, my man" is unlikely to win your opponent over. RELATED NEWSGROUPS There are other newsgroups which discuss the English language. Some of these might be more appropriate to your topic of discussion. bit.listserv.tesl-l (which is a redistribution of a BITNET mailing list -- not all machines on Usenet carry these) is also a discussion of TESL/FL. It is a moderated discussion and to participate you must first subscribe to the TESL-L mailing list. bit.listserv.words-l (which is a redistribution of a BITNET mailing list -- not all machines on Usenet carry these) is billed as being for "English language discussion".. sci.lang is where most of the professional linguists hang out. Discussions tend to be about linguistic methodology (rather than about *particular* words and phrases), and prescription is severely frowned upon there. Newbies post many things there that would better be posted here. alt.flame.spelling (which fewer sites carry than carry alt.usage.english) is the place to criticize other people's spelling. We try to avoid doing that here (although some of us do get provoked if you spell language terms wrong. It's "consensus",not "concensus"; "diphthong", not "dipthong"; "grammar", not"grammer"; "guttural", not "gutteral"; and "pronunciation", not"pronounciation"). alt.usage.english is a newsgroup where discussion is about the English language (and also occasionally other languages). Discussions are about how particular words, phrases, and syntactic forms are used; how they originated; and where in the English-speaking world they're prevalent. (All this is called "description".) Discussions also touch on how we think they *should* be used ("prescription"). alt.usage.english.neologism is described as being for"meaningless words coined by psychotics". Fewer sites carry it, and it has had little traffic so far; the people who do post to it are more positive about neologisms than the quoted description would indicate. rec.puzzles is a better place than here to ask questions like "What English words end in '-gry' or '-endous'?", "What words contain 'vv'?", "What words have 'e' pronounced as /I/?", "What Pig Latin words are also words?", or "How do you punctuate 'John where Bill had had had had had had had had had had the approval of the teacher' or 'That that is is that that is not is not that that is not is not that that is is that it it is' to get comprehensible text?" But, before you post sucha question there, make sure it's not answered in the rec.puzzles archive, available by anonymous ftp from rtfm.mit.edu; the relevant section is in the directory pub/usenet/news.answers/puzzles/archive/language . alt.anagrams Wordplay for its own sake (anagrams, palindromes, etc.) belongs in alt.anagrams. There are also long lists of things of this sort in the rec.puzzles archive. comp.edu.languages.natural is devoted to software for assisting language instruction.misc.writing is a newsgroup devoted to writing, and especially to the concerns of people trying to establish themselves as professional writers. alt.quotations is the place to ask about origins of quotations, although there is no firm dividing line between those and phrase origins (which belong here). You can access the 1901 edition of Bartlett's Familiar Quotations at: soc.culture.british Language features peculiar to the U.K. get discussed in soc.culture.british as well as here. Before posting to either news group on this subject, you should look at Jeremy Smith's British-American dictionary available by anonymous ftp from ftp.csos.orst.edu as pub/networking/bigfun/usuk_dictionary.txt . alt.peeves If you have a (language-related or other) peeve that you want to mention but don't particularly want to justify, you can try alt.peeves. ("What is your pet peeve?" is *not* a frequently asked question in alt.misc.language.english,, although we frequently get unsolicited answers to it. If you're interested in the peculiarities of language as used by computer users, get the Jargon File by anonymous ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu (18.71.0.38) under pub/gnu or on the WWW: WHAT IS ESL? WHAT IS EFL? ESL is an acronym corresponding to English as a Second Language. It is normally used when referring to the teaching of English, in an English- speaking country, to people whose native language is one other than English. EFL is an acronym corresponding to English as a Foreign Language. It is commonly used when referring to the teaching of English, in a non-English-speaking country, to people whose native language is one other than English. IS THERE ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ESL AND EFL? The two are basically the same, however there are some differences. EFL programs tend to have one basically homogenous group of students of the same linguistic, and cultural background (although this is not engraved in stone). Classes may be taught using both English and the native language of the students. (then again, they may be English-only, and, in some places, English classes are actually taught virtually entirely in the native language of the students!) The teachers in EFL courses may be non-native-English speakers (with command of the language varying from minimal to excellent), or they may be native speakers of English. They may be foreigners in the country in which they are teaching. ESL programs are likely to have students from a number of different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. They tend to be taught exclusively in English. (the teachers may or may not have any foreign language background). Teachers tend to be native-speakers of English (although this is by no means a hard and fast rule). ESL teachers tend to find themselves obliged to deal with cultural issues, as classes may be comprised of individuals from a number of different cultures, and many students have questions about the new culture in which they find themselves. Of course, there are other aspects to ESL and EFL and the differences between them. This is just a basic overview. WHAT IS TEFL? WHAT IS TESL? TEFL is an acronym corresponding to Teaching English as a Foreign Language. TESL is an acronym corresponding to Teaching English as a Second Language. Both are used primarily in relation to programs involved in educating people who would like to teach English to non-English-speakers. WHAT DOES ONE NEED TO DO TO BE AN ESL TEACHER? There are a number of different routes to becoming an ESL teacher. Many people finish a Bachelor's degree and then take a special course in TESL/TEFL. Others pursue Masters' degrees in TESL/TEFL. Still others, after finishing college find positions in other countries simply on the basis of their being native English speakers with college degrees. And then, some folks go traveling and begin to teach English as a way to pick up extra funds. In areas with large immigrant communities, it is often possible to volunteer in programs set up to help immigrants. Many immigrants also find their way into "mainstream" literacy programs, which typically employ volunteers to teach the students. WHAT IS THE RSA-CAMBRIDGE C-TEFL? The RSA-Cambridge Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language is one form of certification of ESL/EFL teachers which was developed in England and has spread around the world. The RSA-CTEFL program, and others like it, offer intensive, short-term instruction in basic methodology for individuals who would like to pursue ESL/EFL teaching jobs. HOW DOES THE C-TEFL COMPARE WITH THE MA-TESL? Well, to start, the C-TEFL is a certificate program commonly administered by private schools,whereas the MA-TESL is a full masters' degree program offered by universities The C-TEFL takes approximately one to three months to complete, while the MA-TESL takes one to two years, commonly. The MA-TESL is recognized and sought by most university-level ESL/EFL programs in the U.S.. The C-TEFL seems to be mostly valued by private ESL/EFL schools in Europe and some other locations around the world. According to one source, it is also considered a plus in combination with an MA-TESL in British universities. There's also, of course the cost factor. The C-TEFL costs just under $2000 in most schools in the U.S. (as of July, 1995). There are some places in the world where it is available at a substantially lower rate. The MA-TESL runs many thousands of dollars, or whatever other currency you would be using. WHERE CAN ONE FIND OUT ABOUT C-TEFL PROGRAMS AVAILABLE IN THE U.S.?

WHERE CAN ONE FIND OUT ABOUT MA-TESL PROGRAMS AVAILABLE? One place to check out is the Prairienet ESL Homepage http://www.pvp.com/esl.htm You can check the public library for books which list Master's programs in the U.S. WHAT ABOUT OTHER CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS? A number of universities offer certificate programs for people who would like to have some sort of education/certification in TESL/TEFL but don't want to go the whole route of the MA-TESL WHERE CAN ONE FIND OUT ABOUT ESL/EFL TEACHING JOBS IN OTHER COUNTRIES? The New York Times often carries classified advertisements from schools in Korea and Taiwan, normally listed under TEACHER. (Other major newspapers in major ports of entry probably do, as well).. University bulletin boards often have postings from agents for various schools in various countries. TESOL (Teachers of English as a Second Language), the professional organization for ESL/EFL teachers in the U.S. has an employment listing. The TESL-L mailing list has a job-list on which job postings often appear. Transitions Abroad publishes a guide to teaching English Abroad which gives information on placement agencies. Some placement agencies advertise in TA as well. TA can be contacted at: Transitions Abroad Box 3000 Denville, NJ. 07834, U.S.A. - Overseas Job Express publishes job information in a monthly email newsletter called OJE-Tips.

Obtain a copy by sending an Email request to: ohayo.@calon.com - Additionally, there is a WWW search facility, YAHOO at http://www.yahoo.com/search.html WHAT ABOUT THE PEACE CORPS? The Peace Corps remains a popular way for many people in the U.S. to go abroad, experience a new culture and teach English as a Foreign Language. The basic requirement seems to be a college degree. You can call the Peace Corps at 800-424-8580. WHAT OTHER VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS CAN ONE JOIN TO GO ABROAD AND TEACH ENGLISH WITHOUT EXPERIENCE? Worldteach sends volunteer teachers abroad for one year terms of service. (the volunteers are expected to pay a certain fee) Worldteach can be reached at 617-495-5527. There are other programs which crop up from time to time. A good source of information on these programs is the magazine Transitions Abroad, which can be reached at the address cited above.
