The traditional garment worn by Indian women is called the sarees or sari. While the exact origin of the sarees is not known, yet researches have shown existence of sarees way back in 3000 BC in the Indus Valley civilization.
The Saree is worn by not only Indian women but also many women from other country like USA, UK, Canada, Australia and worldwide and is, by far the most elegant. It is not an outfit or fashion wear but an ornament, lending both grace and glamour to the wearer. More important, the saree epitomizes the continuity of an age-old tradition that has withstood the onslaught of many different cultures, to emerge today as a visible symbol of the resiliency, continuity and timelessness of the Indian way of life.

Making Money in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL/ESL/TESOL)
First some context about the TEFL/ESL/TESOL labour market to think about. The market for English language learning in the world is booming. Compare the world now with that of twenty years ago. Communism in Russia and Eastern Europe is in its death throes, China is beginning the transition to capitalism, South America is emerging from a decade of turmoil and dictatorship, the EEC is deciding to become the European Union, the Internet and email is in its infancy, but expanding rapidly. All these global changes since then have unleashed the force of English as a global language and it is vital to understand that there are billions of dollars spent on learning it every year. It’s time to bring some of those dollars your way.
Yet why when there are billions of dollars spent on English learning every year, do jobs still advertise only a thousand US dollar salaries a month? Well, unfortunately the labour market for TEFL/ESL/TESOL attracts people from Western countries who, because of their desire to live abroad, are happy to live on nothing. The economic reality is that wages in TEFL/ESL/TESOL are dragged down as a result. The secret to high TEFL/ESL salaries are knowing the local English learning labour market. Just follow these eight techniques to land yourself a lucrative, highly paid job teaching English.
1. Get Qualified
In the supply of and demand for English teachers, teaching qualifications are becoming the rule, not the exception. To stand a chance of getting a job, let alone a high salary, you have to invest the time and money into getting qualified. Entry level TEFL/ESL qualifications comprise essentially of the Cambridge CELTA/CertTESOL. These are month-long training courses that cost around $1500-2000. By 2009, it is clear that the CELTA is becoming the industry norm. This course is worthy of investing in, not only because it will teach you how to teach, but employers now expect it.
To get a salary raise from CELTA/CertTESOL aim to achieve the top grade the course can offer. In CELTA this is a pass B, followed by a pass A, while the CertTESOL does not officially award grades. Achieving above a simple pass shows you’re a competent teacher and you are dedicated to the profession. This may be reflected in a company’s pay scales or can be used by you to negotiate a higher salary. Therefore it is vital to take these training courses seriously and prepare comprehensively for them.
Do not even consider doing an online or distance teaching course. These are a poor investment of your money and are run by unscrupulous organisations keen to manipulate people’s fears of investing a lot of money in an expensive course like CELTA/CertTESOL. But why throw $500-1000 at a course that no school will recognise, let a lone give you pay-related credit for?
For CELTA/CertTESOL qualified teachers consider raising your salary through further qualifications. Once you have gained two years experience consider investing in the next level diplomas – these are the Cambridge DELTA/DipTESOL respectively. While both courses require an even larger investment in terms of course costs, you will be rewarded by being eligible for promotion to a role such as DOS/ADOS, with comprehensive pay benefits.
2. Choose Your Country Wisely
Study the market for English learning very carefully. While the sound of a brilliant-white sandy beach close to a school in Thailand does sound tempting, be aware that it is also tempting for thousands of other people and this will be reflected in a low salary. Consider the pros and cons of the following TEFL/ESL/TESOL countries;
Western Europe – offer high salaries with (usually) high costs of living. Some of the best TEFL salaries can be found in France, Germany, the UK (summer schools), offering €2000+ a month, while further south, salaries are drastically lower (only €1000+ a month). Eastern Europe and Russia – currently experiencing a TEFL boom with supply of teachers significantly lower than demand. Salaries on par with southern Europe already, with people having a much more dedicated work ethic. The market for private students in Russia is particularly lucrative. The Middle East – salaries are still riding high on the back of oil, with some of the best high salary/low tax deals. Cost of living is also very low, with many superb amenities provided in Saudi, UAE and Oman. Teacher freedom and happiness is a major issue, however. Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore – high salaries combined with a reasonable standard of living. Long hours are the norm, but saving thousands of dollars a year is a realistic goal. South East Asia and China – experiencing a TEFL/ESL boom finally, but this has not been matched with corresponding high salaries. The cities offer the best opportunities. Expect big increases in the future as markets mature. South America – not a place to go if you want a high TEFL salary. Currency instabilities combined with market immaturities mean that this is a risky place to set yourself up. Brazil offers the best opportunities for serious money making.
3. The Job Search
Do not apply for jobs online through sites such as TEFL.com/Dave’s ESL Café if you are serious about making money. The best job deals are seldom online – it is far better to be proactive and travel to your preferred destination and conduct the job search on the ground. This is beneficial for several reasons. Firstly, you can apply to a range of employers and cherry pick the best deal. Secondly, you can negotiate yourself better terms and conditions by being instantly available. Thirdly, you can suss out the place and language schools to get an idea of whether you’ll really like it there. Forthly, you can scan the market for private students to see how lucrative it is. If you are afraid of travelling far because of the risk, consider this; most money making requires risk (stocks, shares, property etc). This is no different.
4. Choose a Language School Very Carefully
Do not be desperate and go running to large corporate language chains such as English First, International House, Language Link etc. Such schools offer meagre salaries relative to other local professions. How many times do you see big TEFL/ESL schools advertise salaries online? They don’t because they are so low. They have a high turnover of staff, and prefer teachers with no/little experience so salaries are kept at a minimum. Rather than surviving through academic quality, they choose to cash in on their logo/brand perceptions. Instead, scan the local TEFL/ESL market very carefully so you understand how it works and how you can make it work in your favour. While the big chains seem dominant, there are usually a myriad of smaller, better-run, more professional outfits that are looking for teachers. Often, they recruit locally from the expat community, hence their lack of presence online.
5. Get your own clique of private students
Once you have established yourself in a private language school in your country of choice, make an effort to get a few private students every week. Depending on the local supply and demand of teachers, you can charge what you want. Private student rates are nearly always significantly higher than school rates. If you are quality, word of mouth often spreads very quickly, and you may have more privates on your hands than you can handle. Keep the most profitable ones and expend with unreliable, poorly paying ones. You don’t always have to be well-established in a local school. If you have just arrived somewhere, simply get out there and advertise.
To make the most out of private students, consider running them as micro-classes with two to three students present. Not only will this be more interesting for you as the teacher, you can grade the prices so each student pays less individually, but as a whole contribute more than a single student. Also, consider teaching private in-company classes as they can be much better paying. Approach companies with your credentials and offer to teach them in their lunch break for several weeks. Make (achievable) promises to whoever is organising in-company English classes, so they can see how effective you are as a teacher.
6. Be Entrepreneurial
Do not think of your job being your sole source of revenue. Branch out so you have other means of bringing home money through TEFL/ESL. You have probably already made quite a few classroom handouts. Make them look professional and approach the big three publishers; Pearson Longman, Oxford University Press and Cambridge University Press. Even if they decline your ideas they may want you to do other lucrative work for them. Alternatively, if publishers are not your thing, consider selling your handouts online. Everywhere teachers need resources and the online market for TEFL/ESL supplementary handouts is in its infancy.
7. Get Promoted
Teachers of English are often astonished to hear the considerable pay gaps between themselves and their superiors, ADOSs and DOSs. If you are in TEFL/ESL for the long haul, gain more experience and qualifications to rise up the career ladder. The perks are often great; more money obviously, better working hours and conditions, a company car even. If you find yourself in a company with no apparent system for promotions; get out. Do not invest your precious time and energy in a company that isn’t going to reward you.
8. Expand your teaching experience through exam courses such as CAE, FCE, TOEFL, and IELTS
To many people, learning English is purely a matter of passing an exam so the next stage in their lives can be unlocked. The Cambridge exams, along with IELTS and TOEFL offer people a standardised level which they must achieve in order to work and study abroad. Gain experience teaching these areas primarily because students are highly motivated to pass such exams. This is reflected in how you will be remunerated. If you have sufficient experience apply to become an examiner for one of these exams. You will be remunerated well and be given an insight into the examinations process, which students will be willing to pay over the odds for.
In conclusion, a high salary teaching English is an economic reality and simply depends on your knowledge of the local TEFL/ESL labour market and how you can turn that knowledge in your favour. Follow the above advice, marketing yourself as an experienced teaching professional in it for the long haul. Strive to be the best you can be; both with your students and your company and you will be rewarded with a salary that makes teaching abroad a very profitable endeavour indeed.

Leeds ? What you Need to Know
While Leeds became a city way back in 1848, the expanded part of Leeds has held the status of a city since 1974. As per the 2001 Census report, Leeds as a district has a population of 7,015,404 whereas Leeds city has a population of 4,043,247. Though the term is rarely used, the inhabitants of Leeds are locally known as Loiners. The origin of Leeds dates backs to 1086AD when it was a merchant town mainly dealing in woollen goods. At that time it had a population of only around a thousand. Gradually, however, the city developed into an industrial one and as a result its population started multiplying. Leeds is one among the largest centres for financial and business services in the United Kingdom, it has over 30 national and international banks based in the city. The Leeds University is the number one student destination in UK. Leeds city centre has over a thousand shops and is also among the prime shopping destinations in UK. Leeds is linked to other places in England by rail and road whereas it is linked with major European business and holiday destinations by air through the Bradford International Airport. Another destination of interest in the city is the Leeds Arts Gallery. Leeds is also famous for sports activities like cricket, rugby, and football. The city also has a good music background of Jazz and Folk.
The name Leeds perhaps is an origin from the Anglo-Saxon name ‘Leodis’ and it goes back to around 1086AD. In the middle ages, Leeds was an agricultural market town. But gradually industrialization got a firm hold and the population started growing, reaching 30,000 by the end of the 18th century. Export business had so much impetus that around half of English trade was carried on through Leeds. This change of scenario came via a few milestones like the Aire & Calder Navigation Act in 1699, the construction of the Canals at Liverpool and Leeds during the year 1816 and last but not least, the setting up of the Middleton Railways during 1848.
A number of academic institutions made their appearance in the 20th century. These include the Leeds University, Leeds Trinity University College, and The Metropolitan University of Leeds. Side by side there were also improvements in medical studies at The Leeds General Infirmary and St. James’s Hospital.
Leeds over the years has been one of the major industrial cities in England. However, secondary industries suffered a set back following the Second World War. Presently, the largest of the industries in Leeds manufacture turbine blades, alloys, valves, pipelines, printers, motors, radiators, copper alloys and a large quantity of hospital accessories. Today Leeds is one of eight cities considered as core ones in England and is also known as the dominant city of the ceremonial county of West Yorkshire.
The Government was reorganized in 1974. Prior to that Leeds city included around eighteen major parishes. Later, Garforth, Middleton and Rothwell were included too. Since then new areas have been included in the City as well as in the district. Leeds has also received a lot of honours in the area of tourism bagging several awards, one of them being the ‘Visitor’s City for the Year’. The noted developments that have taken place in the city include the Holbeck Urban Village regeneration, the setting up of the Quarry Hill Cultural Quarter, The Metropolitan University of Leeds renovation works, Millennium square, the modernization of the railway station, Trinity shopping center, and south Leeds sports center.
Leeds has the sixth busiest railway station in United Kingdom. Metro trains run to all parts of West Yorkshire and there are other train services like GNER and Midland Mainline that provide services throughout the country. Virgin Cross Country and First Transpennine Express are a couple of other notable services. Leeds station has recently undergone massive redevelopment to improve facilities. For information on this and timetables, you should visit the National Rail Website. Relaxing on a train, enjoying the natural scenery all around while going back down memory lane to the days of the first steam engine is an experience to remember. Leeds is linked by rail to London King’s Cross with a journey time of two hours on the electrified GNER East Coast Main Line.
The city also has extended bus services though there is a demand for the restoration of a tram network. The roads are more than adequate to support an efficient transport system. Leeds city centre is pedestrian oriented and is encircled by an initially tricky one way system. There are a number of excellent bus services in Leeds. For information and timetables you should visit the West Yorkshire Metro Website or Fast Leeds. From 6.30am to 7.30pm on Mondays to Saturdays, Metro’s free city bus links Leeds rail and bus stations. They also connect the business and shopping areas, the General Infirmary, universities and Park Lane college. There are 6 buses with 29 seats each, plus the facilities to carry a wheel chair. This service was introduced in January 2006 and has become highly popular. More information is available at Metro Line on 0113 2457676.
Leeds city has a very strong and old sporting heritage. Notable bearers of the torch are Yorkshire County Cricket Club, Leeds Rhinos Rugby League Football Club and Leeds United Association Football Club. Leeds Athletics Club is among the biggest athletics clubs in Northern England. The club has always been among the top four in the championship in cross country events at national level. Among the facilities for sports you’ll find the world famous Headingley Stadium used for cricket mostly and sometimes for rugby, The Stadium in the southern part of Leeds for sporting activities, football, and tennis, Xscape for indoor games in real snow, Garforth Jets Badminton Club and sailing at Yeadon Tarn centre.
In the arena of print media the Newspaper Limited of Yorkshire holds the front seat, but don’t forget the Yorkshire Evening Post and Leeds Express, the Wharfe Valley and Pudsey Times. Famous books include the Leeds Guide book and another book named absolute Leeds. They cover a variety of subjects and are well circulated. Local electronic media like TV and radio work side by side and prominent among them are Yorkshire Television, Aire radio station, Magic 828, Galaxy 105 and Real radio. Leeds ranks as the third largest media city of England, the first two being London and Manchester respectively. In addition Yorkshire will be hosting the International Film Academy Awards for Indian films and Leeds will take a lead in this area.
Information technology has been gaining momentum in Leeds city too. A lot of companies dealing with computers and computer technology, internet and the World Wide Web have emerged in Leeds. Today, more than one third of the United Kingdom’s Internet traffic is channelled through Leeds, so it has turned out to be United Kingdom’s largest Internet city. Every university and educational institution in Leeds today offers Information Technology as one of its subjects. A number of recruitment companies are using campus recruitment of bright IT engineers. For the last 50 years, The Leeds Met or The Metropolitan University of Leeds has incorporated ‘Introduction of Computer Science’ into its courses. Numerous seminars and discussion forums are held round the year in Leeds relating to information technology and its implementation. Today Leeds has more computer trained personnel than most of the cities not only in the UK but the world. Information technology has therefore occupied a predominant part in education as well as in the commercial arena of Leeds. One good thing that has occurred with the advent of information technology is that thousands of prospective job seekers need not pound the streets in search of jobs, they can simply surf through the relevant web pages including the UK official employment information webpage to find out job opportunities and they can even apply online.
Leeds city has many things to offer a visitor. For tourists there are many attractions including museums, art galleries, the city square many more. For a businessman on tour there is ample scope to expand his business. There are agencies providing regular services for the expansion of business of prospective entrepreneurs. Students all around the world come in pursuit of higher studies including information technology. Accommodations of all types from luxury hotels to cheap lodgings, restaurants for all types, and excellent facilities for travel make a visitor’s stay in Leeds really enjoyable. Sports lovers will really love the cricket, rugby, and football tournaments while music lovers will enjoy the jazz and folk music and if they can be present during the Leeds Music Festival, it will be a memorable experience for them. For all these reasons, Leeds is considered as not an ordinary city but the best business city and visitor’s city in England.

Distance Learning: Free Online Classes
Technology has changed the face of distance learning. From the mailbox to the internet, distance learning has gone through transformations that have made it what it is today. The print aspect of distance learning is still ever present because of the need to ensure that the student can read and write.
Instructional media are very important in distance learning, especially online. Instructional media refers to the use of selected media to teach students who are located in remote areas of the country or the world. Satellite e-learning refers to the use of the satellite to transmit educational information to a group of students or to a student. Satellite e-learning dictates to the student so he or she has to be present at the time broadcast is made.
Distance learning or distance education is all about convenience. It is a practice or avenue that gives you the opportunity to school from home without actually going to the school. Many people practice it these days, especially those who are incapable due to a handicap or some other obligation that ties them down to their present location.
After the University of London awarded distance learning degrees in 1858, the University of South Africa followed suit in 1946. It was not too long after, in 1974, that Germany launched its own Open University. But that was not before that of the UK that was founded in 1969.
All over the world, notwithstanding the fact that it is considered obsolete in some several circles, many institutions still use radio broadcasts in distance learning. In India for instance, the FM Channel is still very popular and used by universities to broadcast educational programs. One cannot argue against its effectiveness in this wise because India remains one of the world’s leaders in technology advancements.
The biggest challenge that distance learning faces today is that of writing and monitoring examinations. Since there is no way to be entirely certain that the student is not cheating, many critics argue that there is little integrity in the awards that area awarded.
Distance learning is devoid of the classroom setting. You can partake of a distance learning program in your home or during your lunch break. Distance learning is not determined by your position on the global map.
Good study habits, determination and focus are all ingredients that can help to make you stand out in your distance learning program. Bear in mind that the minute you take distance learning for granted, you will fail.

Are You Interested In Teaching English Abroad?
ESL (which means English as a Second Language) and TEFL (which means Teach English as a Foreign Language) essentially mean the same thing, which is teaching English to people who do not speak English as their first language. It means you can: travel the world; interact with a range of new people; learn new skills.
To teach English to those who are not native English speakers you should have a solid grasp of the English language yourself and feel confident in your ability to express and explain what you know to other people.
Having the following attributes will also be of benefit to you: a friendly and confident manner; good time management / planning skills; the ability to work under pressure; flexibility; clear speech / pronunciation.
The main job responsibilities include: preparing and delivering English lessons; assessing students ability and potential; giving students feedback on their work.
Different methods of teaching that can be implemented into your classes include: conversation; comprehension exercises; games; songs; flashcards; role-plays; videos; debates; pair work; group projects.
An ESL / TEFL teachers role is focused on conversation, rather than grammar, and it is generally accepted that teachers speak only in English for the duration of their classes; the ability to speak a foreign language not being necessary for teaching English abroad.
The vast majority of ESL / TEFL jobs require you to be a native speaker; this means that either the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Ireland or the UK is your home country, and that English is your first language. You can be any age from 18 to 80; though those under 21 or over 50 may find it more difficult to find a teaching position.
Most ESL / TEFL jobs require you to have a university degree, however, that degree does not need to be an English or teaching related one. You can find ESL / TEFL jobs should you not be a degree holder but you: will only be able to choose from a handful of countries; will likely be offered lesser paid jobs; will have difficulties getting a work permit (which you need to work abroad legally).
ESL / TEFL specific qualifications are not needed in order to teach English abroad, but you will be able to choose from more jobs, and will be paid more, if you have them. A quality ESL / TEFL course program should consist of: a minimum of 100 hours of study; at least 6 hours teaching real students under the supervision of an experienced teacher; accreditation from an overseeing body (a university or examining board).
The most recognized, trusted and preferred ESL / TEFL qualifications are the Cambridge Celta and the Trinity CertTesol. These courses involve: sessions on classroom management and teaching materials; observed teaching practice; assessed written modules.
Online ESL / TEFL courses are seen as an ideal option by some due to their price and flexibility. They offer a good introduction to ESL / TEFL but you should be aware that the majority of these courses are not internationally accredited and as such may not be accepted by future employers as a valid teaching qualification.
