| Different courses and organisations.
I've been interested in the idea of travelling and immersing myself in a completely different culture for quite some time and thought of no better way than to possibly teach in a foreign country (preferably Japan). I've come across this great little community and have spent the last couple of days just reading the previous threads which has been very informative.
Although i do have a couple of questions. From what i've read on this forum and various google finds there are quite a number of courses run that claim to provide all the accreditation (TESL/TEFL, TESOL etc.) required to then attain good teaching opportunities abroad. And to further confuse and frustrate these courses are run by several organisations.
So, in not so short, are these courses beneficial/recommended and if so which and through whom?
Oh! And clarification as to what exactly a "native speaker" is, as i'm a 1st generation Vietnamese Australian.
Cheers. Nathan
