Description
Ian Lees was a TEFL teacher in Europe and the Middle East for the better part of a decade and only had himself to blame. Why Work When You Can Teach English? is his attempt to blame everyone else.
Why Work When You Can Teach English? is one teacher’s journey through the world of TEFL - Teaching English as a Foreign Language - from training and the realities of the classroom, to colleagues and the schools and other forces that guided the author's life as an English teacher abroad.
It describes the circumstances that led him and others into TEFL, the fortunes and misfortunes that kept them in it, and the path that took him out of it, casting an eye along the way on the nature of the English teaching business itself.
