Hey,good choice! Smile That Uranus,a tough one! But you know,now,a lot of the so-called ,would be "teachers' who cruise this forum will be wanting to know "How can I contact someone on Uranus about teaching there?"
You know the old line"I have no degree,but I WANT to Teach on Uranus!" Nice choice,but I think you have opened up the floodagates.Extrasterrestrial TESOL....we can call it "TESLE"..Teaching English as a Second Language to Extraterrestrials....and some scammy school can come up with a certificate program that "you just must have in order to teach on other planets" Poor Martians...poor ET's everywhere! Laughing

Ah, bnix, not so hostile, please! Maybe they don't want to teach English.
How about klingonian? If they advertised teaching this lingo all doors would open to them.
Uncle Rummy is rumoured to have discussed with the honchos of America's spy networks whether they could befriend fundamentalist terrorists simply by pushing a new world language to replace English ("American").
The world would be a lot safer if we all spoke no English anymore...
Who knows whether English is spoken on Uranus?

Not at all....just sarcastic...and telling the truth (yes okay,the truth from my point of view,before y'all get upset).Rog...as for that quote".....all doors would open to them"Please,Rog,let's leave "doors" out of this.At last report, he was either sitting in an oubliette somewhere in Qatar...or he had done a presto-chango and had beciome'Another poster".
I don't know.... biffenbaker.....mutt...something like that.Who knows?Who really cares? A TROLL BY ANY OTHER NAME IS STILL A TROLL! (Whoops!Fell back into that Ba-a--d habit of using the uppercase).

Who knows,maybe Uranus will become THE(Whoops!There I go again!) place to teach TESOL.Wonder if they know about Barbie and Ken yet... Laughing

Dangerous ? How about Algeria where 31 European tourists were kidnapped recently. Last I heard they were still missing, presumanly with their throats slit. The American media ignored this having other things to do, with the good guys kickcin sh** out of the Ayrakis.

Over on the Africa Forum there is a guy who reckons that Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo could be a nice spot for a gig TEFLing.
He has a buddy who goes there to buy goldfish and he says it is really safe.

I mean where do these people come from ?

I know somebody who teaches in Atlantis. Apparently the wages are okay but he has school accomodation and it has a bad rising damp problem.

The Algerian army just found/freed 17 of those tourists. So heck, Algeria's safe now! And scot, your suggestion that an event which does not involve an American could still be newsworthy is highly offensive. I certainly hope you never intend to apply for a job in the U.S. media.
