To give you an idea, topics can be as specific or general such as: (1) working/hiring conditions in specific countries, regions or cities (2) how hard is it to get hired in the EU if you don't have an EU passport (3) discrimination in hiring NNSs of English (4) what a living wage would be in China/Japan/Mexico etc (5) how to structure a resume/CV for various cultures (6) how to submit personal documents for jobs in other countries (7) how to meet the requirements for K-12 teaching credentials in the US (8) which is better for getting hired, a certificate or an MA (9) the quality/viability of certificates or other credentials earned exclusively online (10) the clash between freedom of speech/academic freedom and job retention ...and lots more... If you are interested in helping us continue to build a good employment-focused list, please consider joining TESLJOB. Currently, we have just under 370 members and average about 50 messages a month.

TESOL members will be able to find and share lesson plans, activities, quizzes and other assessment tools, teaching tips, papers and articles, and presentations and other multimedia resources. TESOL's Professional Development Committee encourages you to help build the TRC by sharing a resource with your colleagues. Please contact TESOL?s Education Programs Department at resourcecenter@tesol.org to receive templates and guidelines for submitting resources to the TRC. --------- >From the wording, and from the fact that TESOL is trying to maintain membership levels by offering advantages to people who *are* members, I suspect that access will be limited to TESOL members.

Karen - karenstanleyma@yahoo.com ----------------------- Dear Colleagues, Kindly allow us to bring to your attention International Professor Exchange (IPE), a unique and simple Web-based program. This is a service of the Office of International Programs and the Information Technology Systems Division of the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. IPE offers an easy way for college and university faculty and academic staff to make known their interest in an international exchange. IPE provides a Web site www.uncw.edu/ipe where individuals can list their professional areas of competence and indicate the kind of international exchange they desire: teaching and/or research, for example, short or long duration from, say, ten days to a year, preferred dates, location etc. These listings, coming from around the world, allow academic professionals to find interested counterparts in other countries, and to initiate an exchange. Let us encourage you to explore IPE. If you find the site www.uncw.edu/ipe to be of interest, let us also encourage you to spread the word, and cross-list the IPE site with any other international sites that seem appropriate. It is easy to post a listing with IPE, and there is no cost at this time. Thank you. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
