  EFL TO ADULTS IN PORTUGAL
"I have obtained the RSA/Cambridge CELTA and want to teach in Portugal. The problem is, most of the Portuguese jobs include an element of teaching to young learners or teenagers and I only want to teach adults. As I really want to go to Portugal, should I bite the bullet and teach young learners if required or should I keep looking for adult only teaching positions? "

CONTINUING DEVELOPMENT
Q.
I have just finished a TEFL course and am about to start my first job. The course was a real blast and I'm afraid of becoming stale when left to my own devices. What can I do to ensure that I continue to develop professionally?

A.
Your first teaching job is probably one of the most challenging you'll ever have. There is a big difference between teaching 6 to 8 hours teaching practice on a pre-entry course and planning for and delivering 20 to 25 hours per week. Therefore, it would be difficult for any new teacher not to be on a steep learning curve. There are, of course, other things you can do, e.g. sharing and participating in all formal and informal teacher development opportunities in your new job; joining a professional association; joining some of the ELT e.groups; scouring the Net for helpful ELT sites etc.
