  THE MATURE TEACHER IN SPAIN...
"I am 62, have a BA Hons.degree, Teaching Certificate + Diploma in TESOL from a UK teacher training college.I am hoping to buy a flat/house in Spain/Mallorca shortly. I have many years teaching experience in Sierra Leone as well as in Britain. For the last nine years I have worked as a Section 11 teacher in inner London dealing with children whose first language is not English.The Diploma course was rigorous and I gained an A grade but did not have a teaching component. (I have taught all ages - in Sierra Leone I taught adults and secondary). Could I find a ESOL post there do you think (preferably with young children) or would I be considered too old? Is there any country otherwise where I might be considered?"

Taboos and Issues (LTP Instant Lessons) by Richard MacAndrew, Ron Martinez


Excellent resource but proceed with caution!
This is a really great resource and it generates a lot of discussion every time I use it in class. It also has some great language and vocabulary points which my students normally love - a particular favourite is 'Not My Type' where the vocabulary includes 'bad dandruff' and 'a big beer belly'. It can be a little controversial for some students and I would think carefully about whether your students are easily offended before buying it...
