Your title should read 'get', not 'getting'.

Perhaps you could explain the point of the post again? I simply don't get it.

What is this for, exactly? Why not ask employers directly? Your request was a bit blunt, with no explanations to help us.

It sounds like he might be trying to get employment insurance or welfare to fund a work re-training course.

Michael a bit of advice if you want to get a response in addition to the comments below.

1. Explain who you are, why you want the information and what you will do with the data. Alot of questions are personal information. Write a short covering paragraph. Dont expect people to make any assumptions or take your word for it. The post sounds like you want people to make up your mind for you on a TESOL course based on the responses you get.

2. Target your audience. Who are the people you are asking? Conversation school, high school, elementary school kids? Which country do you want responses from? Schools and employers and hiring requirements are different in different countries.

In my country no one has even heard of Global TESOL, nor is it needed to geta job here

3. Proofread your questions. No one will take you seriously if you can not even spell correctly.

4. Have a format that makes it easy for people to answer questions. In this one people have to type in responses and then you have to tabulate each one and make sense of it. People will not answer each and every question.

I suggest you develop a survey questionnaire using an online survey template like http://www.surveymonkey.com you write up the questions, choose a method of responding and then post a link. People then just follow the prompts. people here are too busy to fill in a survey that is riddled with errors and lacks reliability and credibility.

Lastly your title has nothing to do with what you are asking people to do for you. What does getting funding have to do with what the course is like?

If you want my employer to answer this, will you first translate it into Japanese?

Secondly, most of our employers are too busy to answer questionaires from people we don't know.

Global TESOL's program does not offer supervised teaching practice. This kind of certification is sometimes not accepted by employers, though acceptance may vary dependent on where you want to go.

Ultimately, however, if you are on such a financial shoestring that you need some kind of outside funding to pay for your course, DON'T GO ABROAD!! It's really vital to have three or four thousands Canadian saved up, above your travel expenses, when you leave the country. Sure, a few countries may REIMBURSE your airfare if you finish a contract, and some places provide housing. But you are going to have expenses - and any little piece of bad luck can have huge consequences when you are far from family and friends.
Stay home, work at whatever, save up - do a reputable course somewhere that lasts at least 30 days ON SITE, with supervised teaching practice. If you seriously want even an entry-level position teaching English, you need this at minimum.

First I am very sorry to everyone for being so blunt. I am trying to get employment insurance to pay for a TESL course, the questions that I posted are required to get the funding for the course. I don't want anyone to make up there mind I need this info to get the funding for the course. I will take the info and give it to the training society so I can get the funding. My target audience is elementary schools. What I am told is that the questions are for market research, I was told to find potential employers and ask them these questions.

I am Micheal Jezersek 23 I live in Canada, British Columbia. I want to get into teaching English, I have student loan so I can't get a degree .I am settling for some local TESL courses in hopes that I can pay off my student loan and get a B.A.

Gordon I will work on translating it into Japanese. I see the point about credibility. It sounds odd you saying to your employer "Some guy on the internet wants you to fill out there questions" I now understand please accept my apology.

Thank you to everyone for the great advice, I will continue to work on my spelling and grammar.

"Im also the one not writing a ...". Is this native English?
