Why not start out teaching in
the most desirable setting in
the TEFL industry?
Let's see - 50 screaming kids in
a non-A/C classroom for bottom
feeder wages . . . Or teaching
in an A/C conference room in a
five-star resort on the beach -
on a tropical island. . .
Up to you.
So many people shoot low when
they start out in TEFL - why not
aim for the top (it's easy to
do!) and land some of the best
jobs in the industry?
Aren't these jobs heavily
contested? No! Most
resorts don't even advertise
their English teacher positions
as they are swamped with
un-qualified applicants from
overseas - people who will never
even show up for an interview.
Fact: LeMeridien Resort on
Phuket Island in Thailand
advertised a position several
years ago and got over 60
applicants. Less than
twenty were willing to come to
Phuket to interview. Only
three actually showed up . . .
If you are serious and are on
the scene - can you get the job?
You bet!
If you have a pocket full of
lesson plans and ideas about
what the staff need - will you
get the job - you bet!
Fantasize a bit - and look in
the best places in the world for
your next TEFL job. Buy
this book, keep the lessons in
your back pocket - and you are
READY to land that super job
that no one else even knows
exists.
Hotel English offers:
What
to do after landing a hotel job
Preparing for classes
Materials for classes
What specifically to teach
How to teach these things
How to assess student progress
Hotel English contains easy to
use, ready made lessons plans
that provide all of the above.
Each lesson plan covers a
specific function that hotel
staff are likely to encounter on
a daily basis.
What are functions?
Functions are simply specific
situations or circumstances that
speakers may face when
interacting with others- such as
greetings, asking for a order,
or giving directions. Functions
offer students set sentence and
grammatical structures, phrases,
and vocabulary to use that are
specific to the different
functions.
Why is this important?
Because they allow students to
learn usable English that can be
applied immediately when
interacting with guests.
Functions can be easily adapted
to cover any number of
situations that a student or
hotel employee may
encounter.
How do functions differ from
traditional English lessons?
Traditional English lessons may
focus on sentence structure,
word order, verb usage,
vocabulary use and development,
and rules of use for the various
parts of speech. Granted, all
these are needed and useful, but
not necessarily easily
transferred to actual usage to
improve and facilitate
communication on the job.

Why is this a good buy?
Because it can help you land
some of the best TEFL jobs
in the world.
Because it can save you
hundreds of hours. Sure,
there are a lot of sites on
the Internet where you can
find lesson plans, but not
specific to the hotel
industry and not specific to
the functions encountered in
the hotel industry. In
addition to the lesson plans
themselves, this 137 page
booklet contains student
exercises, worksheets,
activities, and games that
can be used in the
classrooms that reinforce
student learning.
And, if you order now, a
free downloadable FUN
grammar course for EFL
teachers will be sent at no
extra charge.
