Teaching ESL Illegally!

Whether in between careers, deciding what to do after graduation or you are already teaching abroad but don’t meet all of the pertinent criteria, beware of the dangers that exist for anyone thinking of teaching illegally.

Folkin' It!
Dancing is one of those activities that keep us fun-loving and young-acting! And even if you're not a dancer (tsk, tsk), then watching dancers, to most, is fascinating. There's nothing quite like movin' to the grooves or groovin' to the moves. Music is such a marvelous subject to teach because it's all-encompassing. These sites are informative and fun and I've tried to have a wide assortment of styles, so hopefully there'll be something for everyone.

Execution, Afghanistan
Afghani man converts to Christianity and will possibly face the death penalty. Islamic law, the Sharia, forbids the worship or practice of Christianity among the Islamic people. President Karzia must convince the Judiciary board of Muslim fundamentalist conservatives to consider this decision in light of the current situation as Christianity has become an ally to these people. Or, has the U.S., in fact, become too involved in a situation beyond its control?
