User talk:ESL Teacher Trainer

Hi there! I'm ESL Teacher Trainer and I'm new to the Wikipedia editing. My reason for joining this cause is because of my esteemed experience in the field, having worked in the ESL industry for over 10 years, 5 of which I have owned and operated my own cram school in Taipei, Taiwan.

Upon browsing the various ESL related pages which now exist on Wikipedia, I felt compelled to assist in the clarification of some material, and accuracy of current data in the field.

Having written and edited for ESL publications throughout Asia, including articles about CELTA & TEFL/TESOL certification courses, cram schools versus private schools, and expat teachers overseas, I believe I can be of assistance.

If you have any questions about my background or edits I have made to various pages, feel free to ask me on my talk page! :)

English as a Second or Foreign Language: English outside English-speaking countries
While it is true that EFL is typically learned to pass exams and further education, it should also be noted that it is a growing industry that is also being learned to meet the growing demands of a global economy. The Thai government recognizes the continual growth of tourism in the country, and has made extra efforts to ensure, not only corporations receive proper English training, but that the youth of Thailand is receiving quality EFL education on a more accessible basis. Learning English is important to the future success of Thailand's tourism and advances in infrastructure to ensure more safety to its visitors. This can be better achieved by the mandates made by the government to increase the amount of teachers in public schools.
