Hi

I got this link for English Teacher diaries from the "one to one" link that Glenski suggested to dmb on the "one-to-one" posting.

Has anyone ever written one? Is it online or in print?

I know there are many non-fiction books written from the perspective of English Teacher living abroad such as:

Beyond the Sky and the Earch, A Journey into Bhutan by Jamie Zeppa

http://pages.prodigy.net/lhm2/features3.html

or

Tokyo, My Everest by Gabrielle Bauer
http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/item.asp?Item=978088882181&Catalog=Books&Lang=en&Section=books&zxac=1
http://www.geraldinesherman.com/Tokyo.html

Or they have written novels from the perspective of an English Teacher, such as:

Ash, a novel by Holly Thompson
http://www.stonebridge.com/ash/ashmain.html
http://www.bookreporter.com/reviews/1880656655.asp

In the Empire of Dreams by Dianne Highbridge
http://www.sohopress.com/empire.html
http://www.circlemagazine.com/issuethirteen/book6.html

Can anyone think of other examples of non-fiction or fiction books about English Teachers and their experiences living abroad? (perhaps from other countries in addition to Japan...)

I'm posting this just as a literay look at life as an ESL Teacher...
