				|  Posted: Thu Dec 01, 2011 1:43 pm    Post subject: TEACHING PRACTICUM |   |  
				| 
 |  
				| I am currently in the final stages of completing my MA TESOL, I already have a B. Ed. My problem is that I need to do a teaching practicum from Jan-April and I am not sure how to go about finding a sponsoring teacher. I live in Dubai and would like to do my practicum in an adult education environment. Any suggestions for where and how to start? Many thanks. |  |

				| Adult Education - Don't try HCT - just check out HCT sucks.  I know "they" have tried to block it but a lot of my friends can still manage to get in. |  |

				| Why don't you try the Canadian institution in Qatar?  You might have some luck there plus I hear it's a great place to work. |  |

				| Thanks for the suggestion about Qatar, since I live in Dubai, I would like to find someone based here to oversee my practicum. |  |

				| Paxtus, contact the AMIDEAST UAE office as well as the TESOL Arabia folks for suggestions on where you might complete your supervised teaching. When I needed ideas for my practicum, my local TESOL affiliate was an invaluable resource.  Of course, it helped that I was already a member. |  |
