Job title for teaching job without degree

[TEFLKrabi]

Guys,

Get over your dislike for native speakers who want to work and add something to the local schools. Most NES can do a very good job either alone or alongside a Thai teacher and I wish the government would relax the restrictions a little, maybe insisting on a short teacher training course only.

A short Teacher Training Course for NES..............in what Language?

Are you serious?

I think you need to put up some kind of barrier at government schools or you will get every tom dick and harry asking for a job with a permit. Those that are persistant for a number of years in trying to get a permit and have no degree can sometimes do a Houdini and get it. I think they deserve it because after a number of years you should be a reasonabily good conversation teacher by then. Of course this is just my opinion.

Too general IMHO. Suggest: 'Language Instructor'.

I don't have a degree but am qualified to teach in schools in Australia as an assistant. Thailand has the dumb requirement for a degree so there are not enough English teachers. My niece had a farung teacher but she left after a few weeks . Then she had a Thai teaching her English. Now she can say"Good Morning " but little else.

Well, maybe he would like to earn a little money while in Thailand and teaching English is a way to do so.

 

And then he fills a gap that could be filled by a properly trained and qualified teacher, thus keeping the salaries at a meager 25 000--35 000 bht a month as they have been for the last ten years...

 

He should go home and do what others do, pay to earn... in other words "go get a degree"

There are already thousands who teach English here without a degree? The Thais appear to be changing their requirements and degrees seem to be one of the criterion. So, it will likely work itself out.

 

However, I was not suggesting teachers do not need to be qualified. I was simply answering oncearugge's post #7 question, " . . .  why is he looking for a "teaching" job in Thailand?"
