Teaching English in China


After a long wait I've decided to make the move once more to China to teach English. I have chosen a school near Beijing which is close to the Great Wall of China and lucking forward to seeing the attractions and the best of Chinese culture and cuisine. It's Monday 5th July 2010, almost a year since I left Bangladesh to move to China last where I only spent four months in total. This time I have a visa for three months which I expect to be upgraded to a working visa. Also lucking forward to a stay in Hong Kong nearer christmas to get some nightlife action and shopping.
I'm lucky to have good Chinese friends that have organised everything for me for my stay in China from the hotel when I arrive in Beijing to the the flight which was paid for by the school i'm working for. This is almost unheard of having such benefits before arrival so I'm lucking forward to this trip more than ever. Working in England has been tough swopping from agency to agency to find work and also been unemployed so its a pleasure to be on the teaching and travel circuit once more. After four years in Thailand I have to find the best of my English lesson plans to enable a good rapport with the school, parents and students. To all those who are teaching in China good luck with your stay and I hope to catch up with some of you in the near future.

The Teaching of Buddism



Before the thirteenth century, the region now called Thailand was composed of many small independent kingdoms. Buddhist influence had already been felt in this region as a result of contact with neighbouring countries. At the end of the thirteenth century, Theravada Buddhism gained the support of the Thai king, Ramkham-haeng. He invited Buddhist monks to teach in his capital city of Sukothai. He also established relations with Sri Lanka by sending monks there to study. Furthermore, he began the tradition of appointing a Sangha chief to oversee the administration of the monastic community. Under his patronage, all the people in his kingdom were said to have become Buddhists.

About half a century later, there was another devout and learned king called Luthai who was a strong supporter of Buddhism. He joined the Order for a period of time and is said to have initiated the Thai tradition of Buddhists becoming monks for a limited period of time, usually about three months.

In spite of the wars in the centuries following, Buddhism continued to grow in importance and enjoyed uninterrupted state support. The Thai Order is as influential today as it was in the past. However, some reforms have been introduced since the turn of the present century. There is greater emphasis on Buddhist education and the monks are actively involved not only in teaching the religion, but also in providing secular education for the lay people. Many monks still teach in the primary and secondary schools that have been set up in the Buddhist monasteries throughout the country. Many others also pursue higher studies at Buddhist colleges and universities. Over the past few decades, some monks have been sent overseas to spread the teachings of the Buddha.

English is a subtle language spoken with various tones created to communicate in balanced meaningful ways. There are methods when English languages sound Direct or Indirect. For example English Citizens choose a direct meaningful word for a direct answer. If the question is meaningful and spoken from the heart the conclusion should be an honest reply. Direct speech spoken with a louder voice tends to sound off balanced and sometimes rude. English citizens should be excused for this direct method with words that control an event or time of need, in slang otherwise known as ‘get the job done.’

English has been used for decades as an international language to nurture and improve our countries communication of education. Direct & Indirect speech is opposite and for should be controlled accordingly. There are higher methods of learning such techniques for business. These methods are difficult to understand but when organized correctly, the speaker becomes communicative from all angles. In context even serious teachers have problems teaching these methodical speech therapies.

Grammar contains thousands of rules designed to teach the bios of the language. Answers to learning English is simple, be conscious of how the language makes you feel when spoken and remember to never forget teacher’s reason for the lesson. Each lesson should have a headline and the conclusion should express how the grammar and words assisted you in learning. How did you feel about your teacher at the end of the lesson?

Since 2001 I have been teaching English to Asian students in Asia. I have gained experience in other various fields that has assisted me with teaching English. I consider all certificates and work experience important. I love teaching and have been rewarded with some of the best moments of my life.

Human Network


Introduction

Environmental knowledge reports show less networks have effected natural progression of business. Our continuous improvement network has climbed to new heights for the future of network members who have witnessed career and social hold backs. Our mission is to control powerful market chains for improved business ethics. These are required to repair a business and its functions without interrupted issues. We require members to establish themselves on our network to complete maintenance. The key issue is to remove powerful marketing techniques that have disrupted natural emotions through psychology and release the network without fault. You work for a small organization where you wear many hats. You are the network admin for PCs and your routers and switches. Anything that's broken is YOUR problem and only your fault. So, you walk into your office one morning, and you hear the phone ringing. You have an irate user on the other end telling you that the "network is down." I always love those calls where a user, who has no networking background, tells you that the network is down without any analysis tools or technical background. After years of working in networking, you probably know that if the network were really down, then the whole department would probably be calling you and not just this one same user every morning.

Mental Preparation

The first and foremost concept for troubleshooting is not to panic. It might sound like the simplest thing, but that is the reason why some new administrators make mistakes. Then, they dig themselves deeper because they panic. A calm mind can identify the problem and approach the problem with a systematic method. Sometimes, if you have been working with the problem for a long time, it will not hurt to just walk away from the problem and look at it after taking a break. Youll see that there are some very obvious things you missed. I also like the buddy system. You might want to have someone else look at the problem rather than you seeing or not seeing the same issue - which was probably staring right at you.

Now, we know that in real life you can’t just walk away from a problem; your management might not appreciate that. You might be losing many millions of dollars while the network is down. I can tell you that in certain medical environments, you want to fix the problem fast since someone’s life might depend on that piece of equipment that you are trying to fix.

Lewis Maltby says that employees are often surprised at the reasons over which they can be fired.

With all that you hear today in the news about employees suing former employers, you’d think that it would be very difficult for an employer to actually fire someone. But the reality is different in the private sector.

In a recent interview on NPR, Maltby said, “Freedom of speech is protected by the First Amendment - but only where the government is concerned. What most Americans generally don’t know is that the Constitution doesn’t apply to private corporations at all.”

Private corporations can fire someone for almost anything. Maltby related an incident when a worker was fired for having a bumper sticker that expressed a political view that did not jibe with the CEO’s.

The only thing that a corporation cannot do is eavesdrop on a personal oral conversation. Anything else, Maltby said, “is open season.”

I’ve written before about how employers-potential and existing-are within legal limits to peruse individuals’ personal blogs or Facebook pages, and to watch what you put there. Maltby says employers do this regularly and can fire someone over what they see.

And it doesn’t stop there. In his book, Maltby relates stories of employer abuses that include tracking employees through cell phone GPS locators to placing hidden cameras in restrooms. He says that 20% of employers now require employees to agree before being hired not to go to court if the corporation violates their legal rights.

While most people would agree that a private company has the right to run itself any way it sees fit, you can see how this right could be abused. Maltby is pushing for the Bill of Rights to apply to the private sector. In the book appendixes, he provides sample letters to elected representatives and human rights organizations as well as an Employee Bill of Rights.
