It's Better Abroad

Recommended resources for teachers & travellers

This page is an ongoing work in progress.  We’ll continue to add and edit information weekly from now until the end of time, or until we run out of new resources to list, which ever comes first 😉

Have a recommendation:  Please send any teaching and/or travelling resource to info(at)TEFLsource.com

FYI: We’ve tried to break each resource into a specific category but many sites offer multiple services, therefore, each resource is placed in the category of the primary service being offered.

Job Hunting

This is an enormous category with numerous subcategories; recruiting and job agencies, language schools, i-schools, programs, country specific, region specific, etc. You get the idea.  Because of the size and importance of jobs we created a separate page titled ‘Who’s Hiring?‘.


Classroom Resources (flash cards, student activities, etc.)

 

 

Description:  A travel site for the masses.  Has lots of resources for teaching in Asia.

Airfare & Transportation

Fly Onward is an exclusive Flight Ticket Rental Service. They provide you with international flight tickets (travel itineraries) with your name on them to use as proof of onward travel plans when you travel abroad. Why? Because in many countries around the world, you will not be allowed to enter as a tourist without proof of onward travel (i.e. showing a ticket that exits the country when going through immigration). Put simply, if you have a one-way ticket and no proof of future plans, you can be refused entry. This service gives you proof of onward travel, without the hassle of paying for expensive airfares upfront. You simply “rent” the ticket for a small fee.
