Post Body

Hi! So I'm currently in college to be an English teacher at an American university. All of my assignments, instructions, examples, instructional videos, field experience, everything, and I mean EVERYTHING is designed for the American education system because that's where everyone I'm in class with intends to live for the rest of their lives.

After graduating I plan on getting my CELTA in Hanoi and teaching English in Vietnam for 3-5 years. What am I missing? What about Southeast Asian schooling isn't being covered in my classes? Do classroom management skills transfer or am I going to need to relearn a few things?
