Teaching English as a Second Language

Teaching English as a Second Language is one way to visit countries, live with the locals and become involved in the community.

Here is Sylija's story, she has been teaching at a Russian Camp for Children.

In most countries you will need some type of qualification to actually teach but in lots of places work involves “conversational English” so that the locals can practice their skills with you. Tim was employed at a school holiday camp in Italy because he could only speak English. The school kids at the camp practiced their English skills with him.

Dave's ESL Cafe site is full of information on jobs and how to get qualified. It is the Internets meeting place for teachers and students from around the world.

Courses Worldwide

There are many courses in the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada that run accredited courses (courses that are recognised by the country you are trained in and the country you want to teach) to teach English as a second language. They vary in price immensely.

Some courses are funded by the government and the cost is minimal with a view to teaching migrants and other courses are privately run programs which can cost $1000’s. Some programs guarantee you work after you’ve finished the course.

The courses also vary from teaching conversational English to written English and can differ from a few days to a few months.

Teach English Abroad

These are the questions you need to ask:

  • How long is the course?

  • How much does it cost?

  • Who is the program accredited with and does the country where I want to teach accept these qualifications?

  • Will the organization that I train with guarantee me a job at the end and are there any special conditions?

    • This website teaching English to adults gives lots of detailed information regarding teaching English and is a great resource.
