The University of Central Lancashire used to offer a graduate program in Business English, but I don't see it on their current calendar. You may want to contact them to see if/when it is available:

There are plenty of EFL teacher job sites (e.g., www.tefl.com), but since the job would probably require an advanced degree you should use the placement notices service from TESOL.org. However, they only send out announcements every few weeks, so if you are trying to find someone quickly this may no...

I agree with Kootvela, you should provide more specific examples. In the meantime, however, you may want to train them more in conjunctions, articles, prepositions and pronouns, since Korean doesn't use them in the same way English does. They may be dropping them because they're trying to do a liter...

To "trust your heart" simply means to do what you feel is correct, or what your instincts tell you to do... in other words, don't use the brain too much! Of course it is figurative, because the heart doesn't really give advice, it just pumps blood. [I think the poetry verse you quoted ended in a per...

I agree that the language in the host country doesn't really matter, since you'll learn enough of it to survive (ordering in restaurants, shopping, asking directions, etc.) very quickly no matter what language it is. But if you want to learn or improve your non-English language skills, you may want ...

If you look at the Common European Framework, it has very specific definitions of what each fluency level entails in speaking, writing, listening and reading. So this might give you a detailed set of measurements, at least, to evaluate whether they are at, e.g., level C2 or level B1. The complete de...

If you have a multi-national class, they could sing their national anthems as a forfeit. Or you could tell them they have to go to the toilet and put their heads under the tap until they're quite soaked. Or make them speak to someone outside the class in English (e.g., the school secretary, administ...

My experience teaching in Europe indicates that non-English students want to learn English to do business with other people whose native language is not English: i.e., Germans want to do business with Chinese, and are using English as a lingua franca . As far as holidays, Europeans will often use En...
