Jamal ad-din- (from wikipedia)-
Jamal ad-Din Muḥammad ibn Ṭāhir ibn Muḥammad al‐Zaydī al‐Bukhārī (variously transcribed Jamal ud-Din, Jamal al-Din (lit. Beauty of Faith), etc., Chinese name Zhamaluding) was a 13th-century Persian^[2][3][4] astronomer. Originally from Bukhara, he entered the service of Kublai Khan around the 1250s to set up an Islamic Astronomical Bureau in his new capital Beijing, to operate in parallel with the traditional Chinese bureau.^[5] Kublai Khan thus maintained the bureaucratic structure, but allowed Chinese observations and predictions to be checked by respected Muslim scholars.

Cross comparison of Galen and Islamicate surgery

Galen, in my opinion, brought the field of surgery a lot closer to renaisanace levels than most scholars did (if at least due to possible Indian influences, such as the Indian surgeon Sushruta).

However, we will nevertheless cross-compare Galenic surgery to the following Muslim scholars:


Albucasis-  The most notable Andalusian surgeon
Ibn Sina-  The most notable Persian medical scientist

Şerafeddin Sabuncuoğlu- An Ottoman surgeon

ESL is bullsshit

To teach ESL abroad is bullshit because everyone knows you're doing it just to travel and not to share your gift.  If you want to travel; be a travel blogger; don't get in to ESL unless you plan on putting in 100 percent in to being a good teacher.

20 things I learned from ESL:

Learn from mistakes!  It becomes less of a mistake if you learn from it!
Don't do it!  Most schools suck!
Do it privately; no need to force yourself to work for some off company.

If you must, have some clearly written and detailed goals for what you objectives are.

Frankly, teach English because you like teaching; don't do it in order to travel.   If you want to be a traveler, be a travel writer or an adventurer.  

ESL is bullshit because you don't need to be an English teacher to go where you want to go (like Mt. Koya?)

That said, if you must consider it, you might want to study TEFL abroad to get your credential; not all countries requires a University degree to teach English, at least if you get your credentials right; so check out study TEFL abrod like BridgeTEFL.




  “Is it any wonder that Socrates was outraged at the accusation he took money to teach? Even then, philosophers saw clearly the inevitable direction the professionalization of teaching would take, that of pre-empting the teaching function, which, in a healthy community, belongs to everyone.”
