QUALIFIED ESL/EFL TEACHERS NEEDED IN VIETNAM
APU International High School’s ESL department is currently looking for qualified teachers (native speakers) for our July 17, 2008 session as well as our August 25, 2008 session and beyond. Full-time and part-time positions are available. Both short-term and long-term contracts are also available. Priority will be given to teachers who are already in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
ABOUT APU INTERNATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
We are a 100% foreign-invested private international high school. APU IHS has been operating in Ho Chi Minh City/Saigon for nearly 4 years and is growing. Many of our high school students have aspirations of going to college/university in the US. Our ESL department is an in-house one that serves only our teenage students.
A bit about our ESL program. It is an intensive, English for Academic Purposes program where students study Monday-Friday for 3.5-5 hours a day. Another description of our program is that it is college-preparatory ESL. Unlike a typical English-language center, all four major skills are emphasized at all levels in our program. Our students are expected to absorb and retain a lot of material in a short period of time.
Successful teachers are those who will be able to deal with the fast pace easily. An open mind, a can-do attitude, attention to quality teaching, and a willingness to learn and adapt to our unique program will ensure success and satisfaction on the part of teachers. Orientation and initial training will help new teachers to become familiarized with our program. Ongoing on-the-job training will provide new teachers with extra tools and guidance necessary to be successful.
APU IHS offers competitive compensation packages to its faculty based on educational qualifications and teaching experience. For qualified candidates, compensation packages will include benefits such as free housing, visa renewals, and reimbursement of a round-trip plane ticket after one year of employment.
REQUIREMENTS
• A bachelor’s degree from a university in an English-speaking country
• An English-language teaching certificate (TESOL/TEFL/CELTA or equivalent) from a recognized provider – certificates obtained from on-line courses are not acceptable

Summer Starts Available at ILA Vietnam

Why Choose Vietnam?
Few countries can offer ELT teachers a lifestyle that compares to Vietnam as well as the opportunity to immerse themselves in a truly diverse culture. Vietnamese people are warm and hospitable and teaching in Vietnam is made extremely positive by the cultural appreciation of learning and profound respect for teachers.
The cost of living is low, which means you can enjoy a fantastic standard of living whilst still saving money. The choices of lifestyle opportunities are immense. In the daytime there is a large array of activities such as shopping, going to the spa, seeing historical sights, or taking a day trip. You can stay healthy by playing football, going swimming, doing yoga, joining a five-star gym ($50 usd) or have a relaxing full-body massage ($4 usd).
Every night you can choose a different restaurant to dine in, from Vietnamese cuisine to one of the largest selections of international fare in Asia. If you enjoy a drink in the evening, there are plenty of bars, clubs and breweries to choose from. All of this is at a fraction of the cost of back home.
Vietnam has an extensive coastline which means the beach is never far away and opportunities for diving, surfing and other beach activities are extensive. Vietnam is also home to two World Heritage sights, Ha Long Bay and Hoi An. The Central Highlands are famous for their cool mountainous climate, numerous minority groups, and spectacular waterfalls. Furthermore, travel throughout Asia is easy; the number of reliable and inexpensive flight carriers means that there’s no shortage of choice of exciting, exotic, regional destinations, all just a few hours away.

See the world, teach English abroad
by GARY HUFFENBERGER
ghuffenberger@wnewsj.com
At 28, Quinn Mattingly already is more well-traveled than most people twice his age. He has taught English since February 2005 in South Korea and Vietnam, and during that time has capitalized on his home base by going on journeys in other nearby lands.
The 1997 East Clinton graduate went roaming through Mongolia twice in 2007, both times renting a van, a driver and a guide. Mattingly said he pointed to locations he wanted to go to in Mongolia on a map, and was transported from place to place in the rent-a-van.
On his first trip to Mongolia, which is south of Siberia in Russia and north of China, he went to the Gobi Desert and rode around for a week, staying at white guest tents some nomadic residents have set up for tourists. Nomads, after all, can relate to wanderers.
“You see nothing for hours and hours, then you’ll see a little tent pop up on the horizon,” said Mattingly.
The Mongolians will cook for the tourists, but usually Mattingly did not sleep in the tent the nomads live in.
The primary livestock species of the nomads, said Mattingly, are sheep, goats, horses, camels and cows. In order to feed them in the scant land, the nomads have to keep moving around to find fresh pasture.
The Mongolians sell sheep wool as well as goat wool for cashmere, he said. Goat milk is for their own consumption, he thinks. They milk horses and make an alcohol out of it, their national alcohol, said Mattingly.
“It’s awful,” he said of the fermented mare’s milk.
Like cowboys of the East, the nomadic herdsmen usually appear “burly and rough,” said Mattingly.
In contrast, almost everybody in South Korea has a modern, settled middle-class lifestyle, he said.
After graduating from Bowling Green State University in criminology, Mattingly moved to Los Angeles. Searching for something else or somewhere else, he started doing some internet research and found a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) school in Prague, Czechoslovakia. He said he decided to take the course “kind of on a whim,” wanting to go to Europe for a while, anyway.
He completed the one-month class in Prague and then, via e-mail, was hired for a job in South Korea teaching English.
As he puts it, he “kind of just fell into” the combination of teaching abroad and traveling. It affords him the opportunity to live somewhere else and soak up another culture, while also making it more feasible to travel other places far from the Americas.
He said he enjoys teaching children. It’s a fun way to spend the day, he said, “usually, most days.”
He also has found it’s not difficult to make good friends. There are quite a few other English-speaking teachers with whom it’s easy to meet up with, he said.
Mattingly has made a lot of native friends, too. That’s fortunate, because it helps a lot to be friends with someone who, for example, speaks Korean fluently.
“If I didn’t have Korean friends, I probably would have gone mad trying to figure out some of the things I had to figure out,” he said.
There is a lot of demand in foreign countries for people to teach English, said Mattingly. In fact, “it’s pretty much getting more and more” as business becomes more global and companies become more transnational.
In South Korea, English language classes used to be offered mainly in private schools in after-school programs. But the Korean government is putting a foreign teacher in every public school — elementary, middle and high school, said Mattingly. So now a majority of public schools have an embedded English teacher working in the school, making the demand in Korea even greater than before.
Mattingly usually tries to teach a class only in English, which is possible because usually “it won’t be the students’ first day in English class.”
When a communication gap does arise, sometimes there’s a Korean teacher sitting in the classroom or just down the hall.
“If the children don’t understand, generally a picture can help or another kid will understand and relay it,” said Mattingly.
“I didn’t speak any Vietnamese when I was teaching there this past summer. Didn’t really need to. They’re pretty good, better than my Korean students,” he added.
Mattingly taught English in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. The old core part of the city is still referred to as Saigon, he said.
Mattingly had not been born when the American war in Vietnam ended.
“Traveling around the country you can still see things that you know why they’re there. Taking a train up to Hanoi, you can still see bomb craters all along the railroad tracks,” said Mattingly.
A lot of the drivers of the pedal taxis — bicycles with a cart — are “left over from the war” and like to tell Mattingly war stories. He said they are in a “bad situation,” not being eligible for passports or government benefits.
In Vietnam, Mattingly taught the children of the upper middle class — children of families that financially are better off than much of the Vietnamese population. The extracurricular English language classes are voluntary and carry a tuition.
Economically, Vietnam is developing and hatches more smaller businesses than South Korea, Mattingly said.
The streets, he said, are “lined up with shop after shop after shop.”
In South Korea, on the other hand, Mattingly estimates at least three-quarters of the South Korean male population work either for Samsung or LG. To advance in those global companies, an employee needs to know English, he added.
Mattingly, who returned to Clinton County for the holidays, said he will probably sign a one-year contract to teach in Vietnam and probably stay as long as he likes it.
“There’s still a lot of that country I want to explore,” he said.

Vietnam's wants to be major outsourcing destination
| IT to make big labour pool splash | ||
| 20:55' 02/12/2007 (GMT+7) | ||
VietNamNet Bridge - Vietnam will have to beef up education and training if it hopes to become one of the world’s top five guest worker providers and a major outsourcer in the next 10 years. IT research and development requires a significant and educated workforce. Without it, industry growth would remain stagnant and investing companies will look for opportunities elsewhere, said Ajay Gupta, director of HP Lab in India. “India has invested hugely in education since the 1980s. The government saw the need for high-end engineering education, which has offered students the skills to meet industry demand,” said Gupta. “Vietnam is opening up, and because the country improved its telecom infrastructure the IT community feels more comfortable in coming over,” said Gupta. India’s IT industry earned $29.5 billion in 2006 and has set targets of $60 billion in receipts by 2010. The number of employees surged to 1.3 million by 2005 from 284,000 in 1999. Vietnam is home to 720 IT companies that employ 25,000 programmers. Annual revenue growth rates average out to between 30-40 per cent. Nguyen Trong Duong, deputy director of Information Technology Industry Department under the Ministry of Information and Communications, said the key for Vietnam was to promote its IT industry to boost human resources. Pham Tan Cong, general secretary of Vietnam Software Association, said Vietnam could maintain the annual human resource growth rate of 50 per cent like India with 25,000 engineers in 2006, 200,000 in 2010 and around 1.5 million by 2015. Cong proposed the Vietnamese Government boost private and foreign investment in education with international standards. Students will have one year to learn either English or Japanese to meet demand of Japan, US and Europe companies. According to the Global Outsourcing Report 2005 made by well-known specialists in the sector Mark Minevich from Going Global Ventures Inc and Frank-Jürgen Richter from Horaris, Vietnam was ranked among top 30 leading outsourcing software nations by 2015. According to the IT human resource development of Vietnam to 2020, the government will give a certain percentage out of the total one per cent of the state budget funding for science and technology to deploy R&D in IT, electronics and telecoms as well as establish a fund for supporting IT training. The government is encouraging the expansion of certificate granting bases and deploying one year additional IT training for non-IT students at universities as well as the second IT engineering certificate along with non-IT bachelor. IT training will be available in all secondary and primary schools by 2015. The country’s largest software company FPT has plans to raise its total staff to 10,000 later this year. Among its current staff, 30 per cent are graduates from its Aptech chain. Few of its staff study abroad. The measures for increasing IT staff include an international certificate test in Vietnam as well as the tuition of both training centres such as Aptech and vocational colleges. The industry would need either secondary graduates with IT certificates to do for their projects instead of only university graduates. Cuong estimated that Vietnam had less than around 500 engineers with international certificates who often work for international companies in Vietnam. |

Neil Stoneham, is a 35 year-old British journalist currently living in Bangkok, Thailand. He has been here since arriving as an international school teacher in 1999, changing career when an opportunity arose to work for the Bangkok Post at the beginning of 2004.
Neil writes mainly educational features for the learning post supplement of the newspaper but also writes freelance pieces for other publications. In addition to his full-time occupation, Neil hopes to one day finish a radio drama script or maybe even get over the 10,000-word threshold of his elusive first novel.
Neil will be happy to answer any queries you may have about visiting or living in Thailand. He has a particularly good knowledge of the international education scene, although is unable to recommend specific schools for your child.
Introduction to Thailand: Although Thailand’s unofficial moniker as the “Land of Smiles” has become something of a cliché, it is no less true because of it. Smiling is a Thai specialty, as is cooking some of the tastiest food on the planet and a warm welcome wherever you go.
Renowned for its tolerant and ancient peace-loving culture, Thailand has become a Mecca for people from all walks of life. Whether you’re looking for an idyllic beach, historical monuments or an extremely diverse nightlife, then Thailand has something to offer.
Living here can be an exhilarating mixture of pleasantness and frustration. If the fumes and chaos of Bangkok become a little too much, for example, you’re only a short ride away from tropical paradise and inexpensive resorts. It’s also well situated for visiting the rest of Asia and Australia is only four hours away by plane.
More and more Thais are learning to speak good English, so communication should be fairly easy, especially in the tourist areas of Bangkok, Chiang Mai (Thailand’s second largest city) and beachside resorts.
Thailand has a constitutional monarchy (the current King is the longest serving monarch in the world) and has a proud history of never having been colonized. Royalty is revered absolutely and it is never appropriate to speak negatively about them, even in close company.

It is also worth noting that the tsunami-hit areas around Phuket are recovering much quicker than their counterparts in other countries because of the more advanced infrastructure. So be sure to make Phuket an option if you are planning a holiday here.
Visiting Thailand: The high season from October to March is the most pleasant in terms of weather. Temperatures are bearable and can even be quite pleasant around Christmas time. Note, however, that this is also the most expensive period for resorts and hotels.
April is best avoided as the temperatures can reach into the 40’s and, no matter how used to it you are, it still feels unbearable.
The rains come in June and temperatures settle down again. Visit from this time until September if you like a good bargain and don’t mind the odd shower.
Most of Thailand is safe. However, there is a lot of unrest from separatists in the southernmost tip of the country, particularly in the provinces of Yala, Narrathiwat and Pattani, so they are best avoided.
Getting around: Bangkok is notorious for its traffic jams and this would seem a fair assessment. Having said that, it is often no worse than in many other major cities, and you can learn to navigate your way round much more efficiently after you have been here a while. There are plenty of ways to get around Bangkok and whichever mode you choose will largely depend on how adventurous you are.
The safest and most efficient way of getting around is by the Sky Train which snakes above the city in most major areas, including the business districts. Then there is the relatively new underground Metro which complements the sky train routes and, again, serves important areas. Nonetheless, at present, the service is fairly limited to central Bangkok but work is ongoing and by the end of the decade, the public transport system should be on a par with any modern city.
Next up, Bangkok is served by a very cheap taxi service. The taxis are mostly quite new and air-conditioned, as well as being in plentiful supply – you’ll never really have to wait more than a minute or two before flagging one down. However, this means they also clog up the rounds, thus compounding the traffic jam situation.
|
| |
| The skytrain in Bangkok |
Taxi fares are charged by the meter and anyone who offers to take you somewhere for a price should be refused as the chances are they will be ripping you off. A sizeable minority of taxi drivers, it has to be said, also like to throw in a few fairground-like thrills into the bargain while they are driving you to your destination! It is, nonetheless, a service most favoured by expats and seems to work fairly well.
If you’re adventurous, you might like to try the famous samlor or ‘tuk-tuk’ as they are better known. These three wheeled fume-belching open-air taxis are a fun and cheap way to explore the city. Fares are negotiated in advance with the driver. Also, for the even more adventurous, motor-cycle taxis can speedily wind their way among the traffic if you’re in a hurry.
If you are looking to travel around Thailand, the train network is certainly a cheap and comfortable, if very slow, option. Most destinations are served from Hua Lompong station in Bangkok and sleeper carriages are available on long overnight journeys. The road network is also an option if you want to hire a car. Road quality is usually fairly good with the majority of signposts written in English as well as Thai.
A modern air-transport system serves Thailand as well as other international destinations. New, low cost airlines are bringing fares down to both domestic and Asian cities. Thai Airways International (THAI) is the national carrier and very good it is too. In anticipation of the new Bangkok International Airport (to be opened sometime in 2006), THAI are going through something of a revamp, so the service should eventually be top notch.
Housing: Most expatriates live in condominiums or rented houses. These are in plentiful supply in most major Thai cities and there is a good range available.
Depending on your budget, it is possible to live in anything from a modest one bedroom apartment, to a grand 200 sq metre condo overlooking the city. Most condos come with a swimming pool and gym facilities. Rental prices are usually about half to two-thirds of the price you would pay for the same thing in the UK.
By law, foreigners are not allowed to own land in Thailand. You can, however, purchase apartments above the ground floor and these can be fairly inexpensive, although – thanks to the booming economy – prices are going up fast.
In addition, the laws for purchasing apartments mean that, unless you have a good stock of money back home (where a third or more of the money has to come from), getting a loan from a Thai bank is quite difficult.
Some foreigners opt to get round the law by purchasing property through a Thai partner or friend, although, in certain circumstances, this might not be a good idea.
Jobs: Thailand is a popular country for expatriate workers. The perks and standard of living here makes it an attractive proposition, which means it can be fairly competitive. A large number of expatriates have been sent here by their companies back home but there are a sizeable number of them who got jobs while visiting Thailand.
By far the most feasible option for foreigners is to work as an English teacher. Acquiring some formal qualification, such as TEFL certificate, will virtually guarantee you work here. There is a reason for this, however. The salary for most English teachers is very small and you will be lucky to earn anything more than 30,000 baht (₤450) a month. That’s enough to get by but don’t expect to be able to afford any luxuries.

Try www.ajarn.com to get the bigger picture. You will require a work permit and special visa (which must be obtained outside the country) to work in Thailand. These require a huge amount of bureaucracy and, unless you have a job sorted out already, it is pointless trying to obtain one.
Working illegally is not advised unless you don’t mind risking a spell in the Bangkok Hilton (and I don’t mean the hotel). Try these English language newspapers for the latest vacancies – www.bangkokpost.com or www.nationmultimedia.com.
Study: Thailand probably has the most diverse and varied international education scene in the world. There are some excellent schools here, although they are not cheap. However, it shouldn’t be too difficult to find a school which fits your budget and location requirements. www.isat.or.th is a useful resource as is the Bangkok Post’s education section www.bangkokpost.com/education.
The local government education system is going through a period of radical change and, although there are many success stories, there are few Thai schools that would come close to international schools in terms of suitability for expatriate children.
Universities mostly cater for the local population although a few of the bigger universities offer courses in English. My general impression is that they are not quite up to the standards of good British or American institutions but are certainly an option for students who want to study abroad.
Leisure: There are so many ways of spending your leisure time in Thailand, it is impossible to mention even half of them here. As a general guide, however, read on.
Restaurants serving local and international cuisine from all corners of the planet can be found in our capital. And Bangkok certainly has the best nightlife, ranging from the modern hip dance clubs on Royal City Avenue to the famed dens of iniquity on Soi Nana or Soi Cowboy. Whatever rocks your boat, Thailand can certainly rock it!
If you want something more tranquil, visit the islands of Ko Samui, Ko Samet, Phuket or the land resort of Hua Hin. Jungle and countryside can be found in the beautiful Kao Yai national park (just a couple of hours drive from Bangkok) or the high mountains of the north around Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai.
If you want history, a must is a visit to Kanchanaburi – home to the fascinating “Death Railway” and the fabled Bridge Over the River Kwai.
Thailand welcomes people of all nationalities, religions and cultures as well as those from the LGBT community.
Health care: Good health care is readily available in Thailand. Bumrungrad hospital in Bangkok provides world class private health care and there are many smaller international hospitals around areas populated by tourists.
It’s a good idea to take out health insurance if not provided by your company or if you are visiting.

A foreigner working in Hoi An Vietnam
| Foreigners in the ancient town | |||
| | |||
Though he has not worked for the two above bars for very long, Damien’s notebook is full of telephone numbers and addresses of hundreds of hotels and restaurants in Hoi An, which he visits every day to advertise these bars.
His day starts at 9am and ends at 11pm. From 9am to 5pm, Damien markets for Sleepy Gecko and from 7pm to 11pm, he is in charge of sound, light, and also a waiter and a cashier at the King Kong bar, owned by an Indian man.
Damien, 26, was born and grew up in Queensland state, Australia. He is an automobile engineer. “I worked for four years with broken-down engines. Sometimes I wondered why I had to spend my life with these failed machines?” he said. Damien quit his job and came to Vietnam as a backpacker.
“I planned to visit Vietnam for around one month. But when I came to Hoi An, I wanted to stay here immediately. I feel my life here is more meaningful,” he said. The current jobs don’t bring about high income for Damien but he loves them.
Hoi An enchants Damien because of the good, cheap food, fresh air, and friendly people. In his free time, Damien rides on his motorbike to restaurants along the Hoai River to taste local cuisines like hen xao, banh trang and che bap.
Damien is now an “expert” of Hoi An. He knows this ancient town better than some locals. “The first day in Hoi An, I dropped in at a common restaurant near Hoi An market to buy a plate of rice. The saleswoman charged me double. I quietly paid for the meal and left. The next day I returned to that restaurant, the saleswoman charged me half of the previous day. I was very surprised. She looked at me, smiled in a friendly way and told her nephew to translate to me: you are an acquaintance! That’s it! I become her acquaintance. That’s why I chose Hoi An to live and work.”
For a Dutch couple, Marc, 36 and Fem, 27, Hoi An is the starting place for their family life. They met each other when they travelled Vietnam in late 2003 and the peaceful life in Hoi An brought them together.
Marc works as a tour guide for a local tourism company, Son My Son Co, Ltd., which organises tours to the My Son relics. Loving the quiet and peaceful atmosphere in the ancient town, Fem doesn’t want to return to Holland, but stay in Hoi An with Marc to build their new life. Their wedding party was a simple meal in a small house on Nhi Trung street.
Marc and Fem have decorated their small house like a tour operating office, with a Hoi An map marked with restaurants, shops and their products, prices, information that the couple spent several months collecting. The salary of Marc and Fem is sufficient to pay for their house and their daily living.
“It is very easy to live in Hoi An. The locals are lovely. We always feel comfortable loitering on the way and at cafes with local young people,” Marc said.
Their eldest son has a Vietnamese name, Son. “We named him Son to remember My Son,” Marc said.
This small family is waiting for a new member. “If my child is a girl, we will name her Hoi An, perhaps Nguyen Thi Hoi An,” Fem said.
For Scott McMillan, 30, from Britain, Hoi An is a favourable environment for his work. As a veterinary doctor, Scott came to Vietnam as a tourist. While staying in Hoi An for one week, Scott fell in love with this ancient town and sought to stay in Hoi An.
Hiring a small house in the town’s suburbs, Scott knocked on the door of many hotels and restaurants to seek a job. During the day he taught English at a foreign language centre in Da Nang city, 30km from Hoi An, and at night, he worked for a hotel in Hoi An.
After nearly four months working in that way, Scott became the manager of Pho Hoi 2 Hotel. At night, he teaches English to the hotel’s staffs and they teach him Vietnamese. Scott said he loves his current life very much.
“I cannot tell you my plan but in the very near future, I will do something for Hoi An, certainly for tourism. My parents greatly support me.”
Scott revealed that he is in love with a Hoi An girl. “We will get married and live here. I chose Hoi An as my home and my children may live here as well.”
Scott is trying to “speak Vietnamese well and further fit in the local community. I don’t want to be called ong Tay (foreigner). Why don’t they call me ong ta (Vietnamese)?” he said and smiled. |
