Taking either the SAT I or the ACT is the required, and if you're native language is not English, then you'll have to take the TOEFL.

their culture is christian based so i don't think the cultures are too different. they like to dance, have fun, tho they are a little proud, best not to challenge them too much. in two months it goes fast, feed him american, and if you go to a burger place he'll tell you that corral in colombia is better and it is. so give him good coffee and he likes scrambled eggs, with chopped tomatoes and green onions. for breakfast.

Foreign student wants to enter University in U.S?
Foreign student wants to enter University in U.S?
I have a legal work permit and Social security number. I'm 28 years old and I live in Florida USA. I would like to enter any University in Miami. I speak English very well. In 2003 I studied 2 semesters of Modern Languages and Pedagogy in a very important university of Colombia (South America). I have never done the TOEFL or SAT and neither have I validated high school (in case I need to). Where exactly should I do begin??? a step by step plan would be perfect. thanks in advance guys. I'm from LATIN AMERICA (just in case) it seems an ignorant thought I was Islamic or Muslim .

Quotas are being readjusted radically if you're from any Islamic country so don't hold your breath, and rightfully so. The Al Arian scandal is still fresh in the minds of many in Florida and the USA. So sorry to inform you but Muslims are screened and re-screened and investigated and screened again and rightfully so.

For correct advise please consult the admissions office of your choice. In general here are some steps you should follow. 1. Identify the school you wish to attend. 2. Consider visiting the school before you apply, as it will have a definite impact on your studies. 3. Application - Fill out an application for either undergraduate or graduate studies. Because you are not an American citizen you may have to apply as an international student. For correct paperwork please consult the admissions office. 4. Financial Aid - Fill out any necessary paperwork with the financial aid office. 5. You indicate that you attended college in Colombia. It is necessary to provide a transcript of which classes you took. This may impact which classes you have to take to graduate.

Student wanting to teach English abroad in gap year or in summer.Is a 100-hour online TEFL course enough?
Student wanting to teach English abroad in gap year or in summer.Is a 100-hour online TEFL course enough?
I'm 18, living in the UK although originally foreign. I have some teaching experience doing one-to-one classes of English, Spanish and Slovak to foreigners. I want to travel in summer or in a gap year before starting university and teach English. I'm looking for a TEFL course that would enable me to do it. Please note, I have no degree, I haven't started university yet. I would be thinking about going to Spain / South America (Peru / Chile / Colombia) / Portugal / Germany / Switzerland / Slovakia. Would I be able to get a summer or gap year job in these countries if I do a 100-hour online TEFL course? Which course do u suggest that I do? Thanks.

It's very hard to get work without a degree as a degree + tefl cert are the usual basic requirements. Likewise, a summer job is usually hard to find as the vacancies are few and they're often filled by teachers who have been laid off for the summer from their school. If you want to take a gap year off teaching English there are possibilities but please be very careful about who you go with as there are lots of scam artists out there when it comes to volunteering. If you want to teach without a degree then there are a few possibilities. You could go to: * China - the demand here is so great they often overlook the need for a degree. * Indonesia * Ecuador * Mongolia * Czech republic (although you will need a passport from an EU member state to teach here) But you will most likely have to be in the country yourself to get work. Your best bet if you want TEFL as a career is to get your degree. And then a TEFL certificate. Almost any decent cert will be fine and can be taken either in-house or online at your own pace which is a much cheaper option (see http://icalweb.com).
