I'm looking to start my Master's programme next year, I would like to konw what employers think about Master's that are from non-English speaking countries.
I'm a native English speaker, but would like to do an on-campus course. Also, with the salary that I'm making, I can't afford Distance learning.

The lady seems to think that she can do an MA in TEFL through the medium of English in a university in Romania. I and some others have been trying to show her that this is not possible.

Perhaps she will listen to you.

If you are prepared to go to Romania and od a bit of wheeling and dealing you might find a university that wil take you an as a teaching assistant while you study Romanian and do an MA.

But do not expect it to be like a N. American or Western European university. Life in Romania is still pretty tough for 90 percent of the population. If you went down this path you would be living like a local with all that entails.

Don't you think the Peace Corps or something through Soros might be better ?

Why go to Romania of all places? One can get some kind of Master in the Carribean- should be just as cheap. But frankly, I would like to listen to her- and find out what her plans are.
