It's Scary asked:

| What qualities as a Canadian-American do you possess that they don't in the EFL field other than GAE? Suggesting, of course, that you're an EFLer |

Yes, I have taught both EFL and ESL |

I teach English through techniques inspired by the trauma of exposure to S.R.A. modules designed by I.B.M. in 1975.
I develop a rash when shown methods and measures using clozure and haunt the halls of Princeton through transcendental meditation.
I believe copyright in education is immoral and consider the dual objectives of transference and assessment deliciously flawed.

*beep* oneself to hawking workbooks at conferences or never stop innovating in the classroom-- part the waters never mindful of a wake.
*forgive the showing off (or incoherency) results vary |

Stop the drink + posting blackwellben, you've been kicked off of this site at least once.
Obviously, you're troubled. But, we're not interested in your troubles.
You're going down rather quick!

Now that's scary!
Some levity, please.
I don't drink, nor engage in ad hominem attacks. As for being kicked off before?
Careful there...presumption is more perilous than assumption.
The options for a Master's in curriculum design are, in my humble opinion, pretty narrow, and yet I've never met a motivated teacher that doesn't feel they've first adapted, and then developed curriculum.
Contracted teachers publishing efforts directly to the Internet, for a fee, kicked up quite a bit of controversy in the US because many institutions asserted the efforts "belonged" to them.
Curriculum design is an exciting and guarded topic. You're confounding whimsical enthusiasm for inebriation. Why?

Dear It's Scary,
Found this:
"Is a work visa required to find paid work in?
Yes, but it is extremely difficult for teachers who are not citizens of the USA to find teaching work here.
Work visa requirements:
Offer of job in a specialized area where there�s a lack of native workers (i.e. not English teaching!)

Dear blackwellben.
If we can vote, I choose incoherency.

John |
