Thailand TESOL now invites all those working in the field of English Language Teaching or related areas to submit an abstract for the 33rd Thailand TESOL International Conference on 25-26 January 2013. The theme of the conference is “E” novation and Communities in English Language Teaching. We welcome presentations, workshops, and poster sessions from all sectors of the English Language Teaching field. Not only do we wish to explore the ELT in Thailand, but also in Asia and throughout the world as a whole. Our goal is to open the way for in-depth discussions, debates, and the sharing of ideas that will enable more enlightened classroom practices for the benefit of all EFL/ESL students. Proposals addressing the conference theme will receive first consideration.

If you have a passion for the English language, you may think that you will be good at teaching it. However, you should know which countries are focusing on students compulsorily learning English when you are applying for TEFL jobs. Slovakia has become the 14th country in the European Union (EU) to make English language instruction compulsory. This change happened after the parliament there overrode a presidential veto of the amendment in February 2011 and approved new rules which will come in effect from March 1 this year. Remember that you are likely to need a EU passport for teaching there, however.
