SUMMARY:Ed Session Block 2: Explore the world by teaching English abroad
DESCRIPTION:It's a big world... but how can you afford to live and travel abroad? Answer: by teaching English. There are more English as a second language users in the world than native speakers of English\, and there is still demand for English teachers in countries where English is not a language used by most people at home. However\, unlike in the past when any native speaker of English was assumed to be capable of teaching the language to students\, today the field of Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) has become professionalized and schools want to hire trained English teachers. WOU's English Department offers a 22-credit TEFL Certificate that can be completed as a Minor in Linguistics and will complement any number of Majors from Business to Education to International or Interdisciplinary Studies or English Studies. Join us to learn about teaching abroad and answer any questions you have. Whether you make teaching your career or use your skills to live abroad for a year or two after graduating but before starting a career in the US\, employers value experience abroad\, and your life will never be the same. NOTE: This session is also offered in a later Ed Session Block.

SUMMARY:Ed Session Block 3: What's My Major? Jeopardy: Major Myth-Busting with SSA!
DESCRIPTION:So what's your major? - We've all been asked this question at least once by a well meaning adult (and maybe felt some fear in not having the "right" answer). However\, roughly 80% of students change their majors at least once during their college careers. So why do we insist that students decide their major as soon as they step foot on campus? Here's a little secret...you don't have to know! Exploring different subjects before making any decisions about your major\, especially if you're not sure what you want to do\, is why we have the Exploratory Studies major option. In this session\, we will play a round of "What's My Major?" Jeopardy to investigate the different job opportunities that come from a variety of different majors. The major and career pairings might surprise you and show you why being asked "what's your major?" isn't anything to fear! NOTE: This session is also offered in a later Ed Session Block.

SUMMARY:Ed Session Block 9: Explore the world by teaching English abroad
DESCRIPTION:It's a big world... but how can you afford to live and travel abroad? Answer: by teaching English. There are more English as a second language users in the world than native speakers of English\, and there is still demand for English teachers in countries where English is not a language used by most people at home. However\, unlike in the past when any native speaker of English was assumed to be capable of teaching the language to students\, today the field of Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) has become professionalized and schools want to hire trained English teachers. WOU's English Department offers a 22-credit TEFL Certificate that can be completed as a Minor in Linguistics and will complement any number of Majors from Business to Education to International or Interdisciplinary Studies or English Studies. Join us to learn about teaching abroad and answer any questions you have. Whether you make teaching your career or use your skills to live abroad for a year or two after graduating but before starting a career in the US\, employers value experience abroad\, and your life will never be the same.

SUMMARY:Ed Session Block 11: What's My Major? Jeopardy: Major Myth-Busting with SSA!
DESCRIPTION:So what's your major? - We've all been asked this question at least once by a well meaning adult (and maybe felt some fear in not having the "right" answer). However\, roughly 80% of students change their majors at least once during their college careers. So why do we insist that students decide their major as soon as they step foot on campus? Here's a little secret...you don't have to know! Exploring different subjects before making any decisions about your major\, especially if you're not sure what you want to do\, is why we have the Exploratory Studies major option. In this session\, we will play a round of "What's My Major?" Jeopardy to investigate the different job opportunities that come from a variety of different majors. The major and career pairings might surprise you and show you why being asked "what's your major?" isn't anything to fear!
