I beg excuse to use myself as an example. MA in Linguistics with a Certificate in ESL (from an English Dept.). I am qualified to 1. Go overseas and teach fulltime, which I did for a while. 2. Teach as an adjunct at the university level -- part time, no benefits, we've been down this road recently in this list so let's not open this up again.(have done this, in native speaking and non-native speaking classes) 3. Teach Adult ESL any level in most states (like this but no current openings in my new state) (ibid on the part time, no benefits, etc.) Dear Nifl-ESL listers, The following information may be of interest to those who work with immigrants and refugees. On March 29, 30, & 31, 2004, PBS will be premiering a seven-hour miniseries THE NEW AMERICANS.
