When writing a TEFL/TESOL CV it is important to make sure that the information you provide is relevant to being an English teacher.

Teachers Never Stop Learning - A TEFL Alumna's Thoughts on Being a Teacher - TEFL Blog
Linda Dunsmore
Alumni Experiences
My teaching experience began in a whirlwind. I graduated from college a semester ahead of my class, married, lived with my husband in my sister's basement for two months, and moved to South Korea. We had no idea what to expect. Sure, we'd read the blogs, talked to the director of our school, and even talked with people we know who had lived and taught in Korea. It still didn't fully prepare us for what to expect, how amazing it would be, and how hard. We lived in South Korea for 19 months teaching three through seven year olds daily and first through third graders several times each week.

The Best Strategies for Reducing Teacher Talk Time - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
I guess we all have been there. Sitting in a classroom where the teacher never stops talking. How did it feel? Was it interesting and motivating or was it perhaps boring and discouraging? Did you have the feeling of having learned something when the lesson was over? Whereas getting students talking in the classroom has proved quite a challenge to many teachers, having them verbalize what they are thinking about is very important. Even when the learning has been handed over to the students, it is still very tempting to spend far too much time giving directions, repeating important information and instructions, and telling students how they did rather than asking them to reflect on their work.

Principles of Teacher-Student Communication for Classroom Trust - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
When presented with the dilemma to name the most important element of education, one has many options. A music teacher would comment that a student's willingness to express himself/herself rhythmically takes precedence over anything else-the role of the teacher is not heavily emphasized. An advanced math teacher would say that the students' motivation for learning the subject holds extreme importance. A kindergarten teacher might answer that keeping the students' interest is paramount. All of these scenarios are true.
