Quran Tutoring

Quran TutoringQuran Tutoring is the newest trend in the field of Islam, not just in the world but all over the world. If you are interested in learning more about it, you can also read this article. I will tell you more about it.The Quran is the most religious book ever written in the history of mankind's religion. Its words are sacred. You have to know it well to be able to interpret it, interpret it correctly, or correct it in your reading. The Quran is one of the foundational texts of Islam and is used as the religious reference for every Muslim.Islam as a religion needs to be passed on to the next generation, so that we can grow together as one. The Quran provides a template for teaching children to read the Quran, so that they become familiar with the culture, language, values, customs, traditions, legal, societal, political and economic system, and lifestyle.The Quran is used in more than 200 countries, including India, Nigeria, and Pakistan. As it has been part of the curricul um for Muslim schools since the time of the prophet Mohammed, the Quran is now considered the main source of the teachings, which are now called quranism, a fusion of traditional Islamic law with modern studies.For many years, the Quran was not considered by Muslims as the ultimate source of spirituality for the young people who grew up in them. The Quran could be used for other purposes, such as for educating the youth on how to cook, how to do business, how to fight wars, and what to do after death.This helped in solving the problem of not having formal lessons and mentoring for the young people in their lives. The Quran is no longer a subject taught in most of the schools. It is instead taught to students through Quran tutoring, where they become more familiar with the religious and cultural influences of the Quran.This helps them in being able to read the text of the Quran and understand its meaning. The Quran can now be considered as a medium of communication between Muslims an d non-Muslims.

You can teach English in China without a degree (and 3 other myths people think are true)

You can teach English in China without a degree (and 3 other myths people think are true) Picture this. After packing your things and traveling across the world, you arrive in China. You step into the classroom where you will be teaching. Staring back at you are 20 pairs of young eyes. As you look around, you notice the windows at the side of the room and the courtyard outside where children play during the day. The walls are a light blue color and there are books and toys scattered at the back of the room. The noise of children talking has just died down and they’re waiting for you to say something. You’re ready to start your first lesson as an English teacher. How did you get here in the first place? Making the decision to teach English in China may seem daunting. If you happen to be a fresh grad, this may well be a job you never thought you’d consider. So I’m sure you have 100 questions - I know I did. What are the requirements for teaching English in China anyway? We’re glad you asked! There are some common myths about teaching English in China that we’d like to clear up. Here are four important ones about what type of education and experience you need to get the job. 1: “I can teach English in China without a degree.” Nope! You really can’t. Not anymore, at least. Here’s why: Although you don't need to have any teaching experience or a formal teaching credential, the Chinese government have been busy tightening things up on the Z visa front over the past few years. Nowadays, reputable teaching jobs in China now require successful candidates to hold a bachelor’s degree of some kind. Z visa in a nutshell Back up a minute, I hear you say. What’s a Z visa? Well, a Z visa just so happens to be the only visa that allows overseas teachers to legally work in China. Needless to say, it’s critical that you’re working in China under the proper legal status. This means you’ll need to abide by the Chinese government’s regulations - or they won’t grant you a visa in the first place. Pretty standard stuff. Takeaway: if a school or a recruiter claims that you don’t need a degree to land a teaching job in China, beware. Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. A note on ESL job scams in China While a few schools may still claim that you don’t need a degree to teach English at their schools, this is not a good thing. There are lots of scams out there, despite the Chinese government’s best efforts to crack down on these shenanigans, many of which target aspiring ESL teachers online. We don’t want you to get caught up in one. A huge red flag is any school or recruiter asking for a deposit of any kind up front - those supposed dream teaching jobs in China likely don’t even exist. If you do fall victim to an ESL teaching job scam in China, then best case scenario, you probably won't get the same salary and benefits as your colleagues with degrees. Worst case scenario, you’ll be running afoul of China’s working visa laws. Oh! And don’t think that you can fake that all-important degree, either (although we know you wouldn’t dream of it ). The Chinese government now requires all qualifications to be apostilled. That’s an internationally recognized form of authenticating documents, in case you’re wondering. 2: “I didn’t major in English so I’m not qualified to teach it.” This is not true! The good news about being a new grad is that there are many opportunities to teach English abroad, and China is no exception. Your major really doesn’t factor into the equation for hiring schools in China. The growth of people in the country who want to learn English means that demand is increasing faster than ever. And so the demand for teachers is increasing too. Native-English speakers with a variety of education backgrounds are highly sought after for these teaching positions. So, with a Bachelor of Arts, Science, heck, even Engineering, Dance or Environmental Studies - can you teach English in China? Yes! There are options available for you. If this describes you, what you should keep in mind is that the best teaching positions (the ones that pay the highest salary and have the best benefits) are competitive. To be more competitive, consider supplementing your undergraduate degree with a TEFL certificate. Recommending reading: Why teaching English in China is a popular choice for new graduates. 3: “I need to be a certified teacher to teach in China.” FALSE! While being a licensed teacher will make you more competitive to teach in China, it is not required to secure a teaching job. Let’s say you have an undergraduate degree and a TEFL certification - you’d be a great candidate! If teaching is your passion, and you want this experience to kickstart your career, by all means go back to school and secure a teaching license. This will certainly skyrocket you to the top of the recruitment list for hiring schools abroad. But with a desire and passion to go abroad, only having an undergraduate degree and TEFL will work totally fine. The top tier teaching jobs in China (full-time positions at private or international schools) do like candidates with two years of work experience, but this can be in any field â€" it doesn’t have to be in teaching. 4: “I need previous teaching experience to land an English teaching job in China.” Wrong again. Many recent graduates go on to teach in China without any formal teaching experience. You do not need to have any prior teaching experience to get a teaching job in China, so long as you have a TEFL certificate. Many of the Chinese provinces require you to have 120 hour TEFL course, so going for the 120 hours is the best way to make you competitive for the highest number of positions. As always, having both teaching experience and TEFL is the dream team. Recommended reading: 5 reasons why you should teach in China How was today’s lesson? Now that we’ve debunked those four myths around requirements to teach English in China, you can continue your exploration English teaching job hunt with ease. There is, of course, a lot more to cover, like the visa process, what it’s like to live in China and average salaries. You can read about these on our handy teaching English in China info page. To recap, as a minimum, you need to have: An undergraduate degree TEFL certification No matter what, be sure to do your research about the schools you are applying to. Not every place is going to be reputable - and you’d want to know before you get there. Teach Away’s Explore Program helps recent grads get teaching jobs with partner schools in China. We’ve done all the hard work up front, like vetting the schools and making sure they would be a great fit for recent grads. If that interests you, check it out. Now, what were you planning to teach for your first lesson?

One Week Traveling in China - The Scenic Route

One Week Traveling in China - The Scenic Route If you’re teaching abroad in China or elsewhere in Asia, be sure to find the time to travel through China. Earlier, we posted a possible itinerary for exploring Beijing and Shanghai, but there’s much more to experience in China. Take a look at the following one week travel itinerary of a trip to the Guangxi province of China.Day 1 - GuilinTo begin your trip to China, fly to Guilin. Home to 12 ethnic minorities, Guilin lies amongst lakes, rivers and picturesque limestone karsts. First off, head to Elephant Trunk Hill. The hill with a natural hole has become the symbol of Guilin; a boat tour will get you the best view.Day 2 â€" Rice TerracesGet up early and head to the rice terraces of Longsheng, about a 2-hour bus ride from Guilin. Set among small villages, the terraces are an incredible sight year around. In the spring, the flooded paddies resemble scales, giving the ridge its name of the “Dragon Backed Mountain.” Hiking through these terraces will give you a stunning view of the rice fields and surrounding hills.Day 3 â€" Li River CruiseYou’ll have already seen some incredible scenery on this trip, but this river cruise will take your breath away. Boats slowly guide visitors down the Li River, through picturesque hills, rock formations and past scenes illustrating rural life in China. A guide will make the landscape come to life with legendary stories and myths. Once you arrive in Yangshuo, stroll through the small town, enjoy some fabulous food, and explore the night market. If you’re an outdoor enthusiast, consider staying for another day for a bike ride through the scenic countryside or a great climbing excursion.Day 4 â€" Travel to Nanning and the Detian WaterfallsYou’ll need to travel from Yangshuo to Nanning â€" a half-day trip â€" in order to make your way to the China-Vietnam border to see the famous Detian Waterfalls (Ban Gioc in Vietnamese). Find a train or bus to Nanning, and spend your afternoon relaxing and enjoying the tropical scen ery at South Lake Park.Day 5 â€" Detian WaterfallsThe Detian Waterfall will be worth your travel efforts. The world’s second largest transnational waterfall flows through three terraces and several scenic routes take you to some beautiful spots. Additionally, visit the border between and Vietnam and China at the 53 Boundary Marker and Cannon Mountain.Day 6 â€"BeihaiMake your way to the fastest growing city in the world, Beihai. It’s well known for its 15 mile long Silver Beach, so make sure you’ve packed your swimsuit! The old street in Beihai features colonial buildings, and the Underwater World highlights the area’s rich marine diversity and China’s naval history. Make sure to try a variety of delicious local seafood for dinner.Day 6 â€" Return to GuilinAfter making your way back to Guilin, take time to explore the city. Stroll through the underground markets to pick up any souvenirs, and watch the artificial waterfall in the large city square at night.China, a vast and diverse country, features more incredible sights than visitors can explore on one short trip. You could plan a hundred different travel itineraries through the country, and the best way to see them all is to spend time teaching abroad in China!See also:One week traveling in IndonesiaOne week traveling in Germany  Header photo credit: By akiwitz, via FlickrDetian Falls photo credit: By jankgo [CC-BY-2.0], via Wikimedia Commons

Killing the Lazy Stoner

Killing the Lazy Stoner source: www.fanpop.comA group of dangerous drug abusers source: twitter.comDangerous drug user/criminal Lately there has been a monstrous resurgence of pot culture in film and television, I am not even going to bring up music and how much they love it.  The revealing of Obamas Choom gang in high school happened; we as a country learned that our commander in chief was most assuredly a blazed out-of-his-mind pothead on the reggie in high school, dude.  Its becoming easier to find media where main characters partake in the magic dragon.  From Mark Wahlberg hittin the bong over 1,000 times in Ted, to the goofballs in Workaholics, or even little innocent Mr. Frodo (I mean Elijah Wood) ripping the homemade water bottle bong with his dog in FXs Wilfred multiple times an episode.  These are just a few examples, but I have a word limit to adhere to so I will not press on.  Not only that, but in childrens television shows such as Regular Show, clocks and VCRs in the cartoon commonly have the time 4:20 pictured on them.  Pot culture is basically everywhere all over your TV always.  There i s no escape. In most of these examples pot is just a funny thing the characters do because they are goofy and weird as it has always been.  A few stand out, though.  In Wilfred, Elijah Wood plays a burnt out, guilt ridden lawyer who befriends his neighbors dog and smokes weed with him all day.  In most shows potheads dont look or behave like Elijah Wood, and they arent lawyers either.  In HBOs Bored to Death a 60 year old Ted Danson is the eccentric editor of a large, successful magazine who runs around with  Zach Galifianakis and Jason Schwartzman smoking weed and solving crimes.  Again we see a character who is successful, lucrative, well respected, an intellectual, and a pot smoker. source: fordopepurposesonly.blogspot.comHe used to be a doctor  and now he is just another filthy pot smoking criminal. With marijuana entering the mainstream it is apparent that our collective attitude toward pot in America is drastically distancing itself from traditional thought.  It isnt that hard to turn on the TV and find some show where characters, who are well adjusted with no major character faults or problems, use marijuana.  Almost like role models, but for stoners.  Not that those never existed, maybe youve heard of the Beatles or President Obama, but it is refreshing to see that our cultural attitudes are still something we can  malleate.  It is high time we  amend  our feelings toward marijuana whether we like it or not.

The Buddy System The Friendliest Way to Learn a Language Abroad

The Buddy System The Friendliest Way to Learn a Language Abroad Ah, studying a new language abroad. Isn’t that the dream?It does have its challenges, but luckily you can  get by with a little help from your (new) friends!You get to meet new people, see marvelous sights and taste exotic dishes, all the while immersing yourself in the language that you love. However, the first thing on the listâ€"meeting new peopleâ€"might just prove to be the most important aspect of your time abroad.This post will be about one thing and one thing only: giving you  a warmer, friendlier perspective that’ll pave the way for you to learn a language abroad as quickly  and as enjoyably as possible.So whether you’re at the airport waiting to board your plane or just in the initial stages of planning that year abroad, read on and get excited. The Buddy System: The Friendliest Way to Learn a Language AbroadYou’re probably already super psyched about learning a language abroad. Perhaps it was a big decision, but you knew you just had to hop on a plane and get you rself to Spain, Germany, France, China, Japan or whatever country it is you’ve got your heart set on. You can already see, hear and smell everything!One problem. You don’t know anyone from Adam in that country. Everyones just another strange face. Nobody knows you or what youre going through. How do you deal? How are you supposed to effectively learn the language when you don’t even have anybody to talk to?You just need to do one thing. And you need to do this day in and day out when you’re abroad. Befriend the locals.Dont go all introvert when youre abroad. Well, maybe you can afford to be a loner at night, when youre in bed and reflecting on the awesome things that happened during the day, but generally speaking, put yourself out there. Thats the very essence of going abroad. Youre putting yourself out there in the world, so dont spend that precious time inside a private hostel  room. Dont just go abroad to watch  movies, listen  to radio programs and songs. Do that and th en some!Admittedly, living abroad to learn the language can be a nerve-wracking experience. But with a few friends by your side, the whole thing can be one long celebration. That being said, making friends shouldnt entail nesting in English-speaking enclaves and knocking back a few Guinness with expats (though youre welcome to indulge in this every once in a while, too). Making friends should involve really immersing yourself in local culture.So the first step, and really, the only step, is to befriend the localsâ€"get the ball rolling by talking to them  in English if needed, and then you can start effectively building your whole language experience from there.  Sounds easy and logical enough, right?But how are you exactly going to do that? When the rubber meets the road, how do you deal?How? I’m glad you asked. Here are six tried and tested ways to break the ice and make friends with native speakers.6  Ways to Learn Languages Abroad by Making Friends1. Offer somethingThey say if you want to have a friend, be a friend. Offering somethingâ€"foods always a winnerâ€"to a complete stranger can be a good opener. It instantly drops any wary persons  defenses and can be the beginning of a wonderful conversation.You can offer anything, really (chances are itll be politely refused anyway). The most epic of friendships can start with the offer of gum. Its what people do once the ice has been broken that determines if they become friends.So always have something to give and keep it in your bag or pocket. You never know when a nice opportunity will come your way.Let’s say you’re walking around the park taking in the sights. You’ve been at it for an hour and youre ready to take a breather. There’s a bench nearby with a man sitting on it. What could you do? Well, you could approach the bench. Smile. Sit. Take out the sandwich you packed earlier. Take a few bites, and comment to the person beside you, “Sir? Would you like some sandwich? I’ve got another one he re.”Your offer will probably be politely refused, but that’s really not the point. Don’t take the refusal personally. That simple line is an ice breaker. Now youve potentially opened up a conversation with a complete stranger, and that stranger knows youre a relatively friendly and generous fellow.You can take the conversation anywhere you want, but remember, unless you’ve chanced upon a local as garrulous as Richard Simmons, you’ll probably be the one talking for a few minutes. The other person would just probably smile, nod along and politely give you a little of their time. The hope is that, in the next few minutes, theyll really warm up and start contributing significantly to the conversation.Do this often and you’ll definitely make friends along the way.My advice is, the more locals you involve, the betterâ€"like if you see two men sitting on a bench with a space between them, be the foreigner who squeezes between those two. Since more persons are involved, the conv ersation can have more possible pathways and you can volley topics around between them. This can really be fun because you can play with the conversational dynamics here. For example, if you ask what  one person thinks  about the countrys president, you can the inquire if the other guy agrees and you can even tease them a little about their differences in opinion.Before long, its sunset and you don’t even notice it.2. Ask for a favor“The Damsel in Distress” technique can be used not only by ladies but by anyone who wants to tap into that human instinct of helping those in need. Asking for a favor (the simpler it is, the better) sparks an interaction that may not otherwise have happened.I was traveling around Asia and was sitting waiting for my bus to leave. It was one of those long-haul runs that usually take 10-12 hours. I was seated next to a lady, a native speaker, minding her own business, when I suddenly had the brilliant idea of buying food and some reading material for the trip. So I asked her, “could you please save my seat?” The bus was filling up fast. She was clearly surprised, but then said, “sure.”When I came back, I had a handful snacks, local delicacies and a newspaper. To show my gratitude for the favor, I immediately offered her food (technique #1), which she kindly refused.But guess what, the ice was already broken and it was only a matter of time before we got into talking and getting to know each other. I got me a captive audience for 10-12 hours! I mean, she’s not going anywhere. I asked her about the places I could go visit once we got to the destination, I politely asked her about some news stories I’d read and I asked about her opinions on them.I found a new friend, an insider on the culture I’m interested in and a native speaker who taught me how to haggle with intent. All that because I asked her to save my seat. I asked for a favor and I got so much more than I asked for.3. Ask questionsGo ahead. Dont be afraid. T he locals dont bite.What sort of questions do you ask? Well, anything!As a foreigner in a new land, asking questions is your divine right. Locals know this and theyre more than happy to oblige. As long as youre polite, theyll respond positively to any queries you may have.Perhaps you’re having dinner at a local restaurant waiting for your order when you spot something interesting on the other table. Depending on the situation, it’s often perfectly okay to politely say, “Excuse me, sir, your food looks delicious. May I know what it is?”Now, lasting friendships arent usually made with just one question. You can ask a stranger for directions to the nearest comfort room (as public toilets are called in some parts of the world) and be on your way. If you want to keep things going, then  after you hit them with your first question, hit them with some more. Probe and discover as much as you can about the specific subject and beyond. Ask about the culture, ask about the person you†™re talking to and ask them for their opinions on things. Ask where you can get the best soup in town. Ask how much the fare is for public transportation. Anything, really.The name of the game is interest. You actually make other people feel good about themselves when you display interest in them and their culture. Sure, they’ll initially look frazzled when you unexpectedly open up a conversation. They’ll initially be thinking, “Why is this dude suddenly talking to me? My English is very limited.”But know that in time, wariness can turn into warmth when you’ve shown genuine interest and youre polite about the whole thing.Don’t grill the poor guy, just telegraph your interest in a childlike  way. Probe and probe some more. Thats why its important that you be aware of situations where you have a captive audienceâ€"like the bus example above, or locals passing time on public benches, or those lazying in cafés and restaurants. Be on the lookout for these situations. If you find yourself in a long queue for anything, try striking up a conversation with the person behind you.Open your eyes. The person bound to teach you all the hilarious and nasty words in their language might just be standing behind you.4. Say “Hi!”Sometimes the quickest way is to just come out and say, “Hi!”Say your name and extend a hearty handshake and you’ve got a potential friend made.I’m not saying that you’ll be golden every time, sometimes you can try to make friends and quickly discover that the other person  isnt interested in socializing. Sometimes they’ll be so busy they really won’t have time. But youll never know that unless you take the shot. Hockey great Wayne Gretzky once said, “You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take.”So do it! Flat out say “Hi!” You don’t need any reason save for the desire to make friends and meet new people.You’re already abroad, so you might as well open up. Don’t clam up and be overly self-conscious. Unles s you open up, your learning the language will never really hit its stride. If you look at some of the most effective language learners and polyglots, they’re not necessarily the most garrulous or outgoing types, but theyre the most open. They feel the same nervousness and apprehension that you might when considering approaching and making a friend out of thin air, but they do it anyway.Remember that you, the language learner, must always make the first move. In many (most) places, locals don’t ordinarily walk up to foreigners to chat, especially in places with conservative cultures. They may stare, but talking to you would be a different proposition altogether. So you have to make the first move.It’s not that they’re rude or that they don’t find you interesting. They might not want to bother you, or maybe they’re shy. Besides, they might be busy. They could very well be running some errands, preparing to have a few friends over for dinner. And guess what, you’ll never find out if you could have been invited for that dinner unless you come right out and say, “Hi!”.5. Frequent the same placesThe conventional wisdom is that you need to hit different spots in any region, country, city or town in order to really get a broader sampling of a culture and to meet different people from different walks of life. So while abroad, maybe you can go to all the different corners of the city you’re living in, be involved in a wide variety of groups and organizations and heap up many different experiences for yourself.Yes, do that, that’s sound advice. It’ll give you the big picture of the culture as well as a taste of its many different flavors. But you also need to counterbalance that by going to the same places as many times as possible, too. The first strategy casts a wide net, with this second one you’re going deep.And you don’t even have to go very far. Start with the immediate area where you live. Is there a nearby park you can frequent? Or a convenience store you can patronize? (If you can, try buying your food stock or supplies from the same store, snacks from the same stall and medicine from the same pharmacy.)Let the locals know your routine and let them expect you to be at the same place at a specific time.Hit the same spot over and over and something very magical happens. Instead of observing the passing scene, which is what usually happens to traveling language learners, you become part of it. Keep showing up at  the same place and youll soon become a fixture of the place. When people get to see you often, you become part of their community.Be one of the regular guys in a café, for example. If you frequent the same café, you’ll quickly  be on a first name basis with the staff (they might even let you behind the counter!).  By frequenting the same place, youre giving yourself multiple chances to meet locals who are also patrons of that place. The lady you often see buying her pork ribs might one day invite you to her kitchen and show off a recipe you can bring back home to your friends and family. The waiters and staff of the place, who know who’s who in the community, could introduce you to the best plumber in town.Wait, I’m getting ahead of myself. That’s #6.6. Ask for introductionsSo you have one local friend already?Great! With one single friend, you have everything needed to create a whole network of locals who, in their own specific and special ways, can help your language journey.That one friend of yours surely has a few friends and acquaintances of their  own. Their  circle could include the guys they  grew up with or the folks they  went to school with once and who are now doctors, businessmen or maybe even language teachers.You have to go out of your comfort zone and flatly request an introduction. This makes your job of making friends so much easier because the other person’s credibility rubs off on you and you instantly gain the acceptance of the group. They may not kn ow you from Adam, but by virtue of being introduced by a trusted friend, you make it so much easier on yourself. And guess what, youve just increased your acquaintances several fold.Plop  yourself into their group. Join their activities and show up in places they meet. Branch out and soon enough, youll find yourself in a middle of a social web that gives you the maximum number and variety of genuine experiences to really learn a language abroad.Suddenly youll find yourself in a group of guys who bike on Sundays to gaze at the marvelous view of the countryside. Or perhaps you get ringside seats to  how native speakers wield their language by witnessing them tease and give each other a hard time during a Saturday night beer session.So, there you go. Six techniques you can use each day youre abroad. Get in there. Be eager and excited to make friends. Travel. Talk to complete strangers, offer them something, ask your questions. Then ask some more. Immerse. Get off your couch on a cold e vening and have coffee with a native speaker.If you do that, you’ll find yourself richly rewarded. One day, you’ll hear yourself slowly gaining fluency in the local language. Youll not only have added a new tongue to  your communicative repertoire, youll have gained precious friendships and a bag full of memories that’ll last a lifetime. With pictures to boot!Good luck and have fun! Safe travels.
