3. You may be wondering “Why TESOL?”
We appreciate that teaching is not for everybody. But if teaching is something you would
consider, then teaching English is the way to go.
.
Your passport to the world
English is the language in significant demand (to be taught) in ANY country.
You will never be short of work no matter where you are all year round.
Many websites for English as a Second Language (ESL) teaching jobs.
If you've ever thought about changing professions to become an ESL teacher, now is the time.
Today, jobs abound world-wide for ESL teachers. As the Internet and other technologies continue to
enlarge a global society, the increased use of English as a common language is creating possibilities
in ESL careers, limited only by the imagination. E.g. Radio DJ in China, extras on movie sets and
commercials in Japan, private tutors for wealthy families and teaching English on cruise ships!
Recent surveys show there are more ESL jobs worldwide than there are qualified teachers. Asia is the
fastest growing ESL teaching market with China leading the charge to learn English.
