This unit covers business etiquette and how to deal with cultural issues that may arise when teaching in a foreign country. Research regarding the country a teacher chooses to work in is vital and there are many helpful websites designed to ease the transition. Tips on finding employment, and pertinent questions to ask a potential employer are included, as well as how to set up a concise, yet informative C.V. and covering letter. Should teachers wish to further their training, courses are available, as well as organizations and associations one can join. A useful list of websites featuring book publishers, ESP sites, reference materials, applied linguistics, and job search websites is included in this unit. A fair amount of research was required to complete the questions and tasks of this unit, ranging from knowing the GDP of certain countries to researching things one should never do in certain countries, to avoid extreme embarrassment. A link to Geert Hofstede's website provided very interesting information on primary cultural dimensions to be considered when researching a particular country in which one is interested in teaching.
