Teaching English abroad programs

[JCE10]

I would like to teach abroad one day and was wondering if any individuals know of any organizations that offer a program. Specifically, it would be grand if I am able to go abroad and teach English and have them pay for everything. I do mean everything.

Thank you all!

Call any college/university in your are and ask them where you could take the TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) course. With that certification, you should be able to find a teaching job in South Korea, that will pay for your food, housing and transportation. Usually 1 year deals, more if it works out.

I know of two, one in China and the other in Peru.

Do you have any experience or certification for teaching English?

Do you speak any other languages?

Everyone I know does the program in Japan. I think it's called JET.

it is extremely easy to get a English teaching position in South Korea... if you have a bachelors degree

doesn't matter what school, as long as you have proof of a college degree

I can't remember the site that has all the listings but if you are interested, I can find it for you

I've seen the site as well, but can't recall the address off-hand. But yeah, a college degree will most definitely get you in.

Yea, if anyone has any links, I would greatly make you dinner for it.

What about teaching English in Europe? Like Eastern Europe?

If you just Google "teach English abroad" that should give you plenty of sites to choose from, since it's becoming "the" thing to do. It does indeed help to have a TEFL/TESL/ESL/whatever certificate, but it's not necessary. I had friends just up and leave for Poland, walk into a school, and say they wanted to teach English. You will be able to find employment without a certificate, but you would most likely find a better job - and higher paying - with a certificate. But then again, usually the goal of teaching English abroad isn't to make the big bucks.

One of the most popular programs is definitely the JET Program (link), which essentially pays for everything and sets you up with housing and insurance and the like. The likelihood of you getting placement in a place like Tokyo is pretty slim (it's usually going to be slightly more rural places), but nor would your salary take you all that far in Tokyo. But it's becoming more and more competitive as people are learning about it, so again, a certificate would be recommended.

But just do a Google search. There are a million legitimate places that can help you find employment, and a lot of the time, when you do a TESL course of some kind, they help you with employment at the end of the course.
