TOESLTOEFL
I don't know if it's Teaching of English as a Second Language or as a Foreign Language but I had coffee with Joan this morning and she told me that's what Beryl is retired from. Her last gig was in China but she has taught in several other far-off corners of the globe as well.
Interesting to me is that Beryl is fluent only in English. She doesn't have to know the language of her students - only how to teach English to them. I'd love to hear some of her first-hand accounts of living in strange places. Makes me wish I'd followed my star and gone to the Steppes of Central Asia.
No it doesn't
