quote  There is work in Afghanistan, but you should keep in mind the security issues. There is an English program at the American University. It's a buyers market for humanitarian working NGOs.

quote  There is certainly little dialogue for Western teachers who have experience in Afghanistan. Please visit our blog, www.teachinginafghanistan.com and share your thoughts for those of us going for the first time.

quote  Get ready for some "hard" living when you go anywhere in Afghanistan as an instructor/teacher. The people are some of the most friendly in Asia and reminds me of living in Thailand. The number one issue, of course, is security. That can be a "REAL" issue...housing in not a problem and food is great.

quote  I'm teaching writing to Afghan high schoolers. More reading would help tremendously. But getting kids reading in English is a real challenge. First, there's not a culture of reading so getting the habit going is difficult. Secondly, verbal skills in English are often far different from reading level, so getting the right books for the student's level is hit-and-miss. Finally, books for children in English are hard to find. But somehow many students shine despite it all.
