Teaching English Overseas - Teaching English overseas is a great way of seeing the world and getting to know its people - and there are more jobs available than there are teachers to fill them.
If you are American or Canadian, you should be able to find jobs Teaching English Overseas reasonably easily in areas such as Latin America, Asia and Eastern/Central Europe. The only job markets which you will find it difficult to break into will be those in other English-speaking countries, Western Europe (unless you have a European Union passport) and Africa.
The highest paying jobs in the field of Teaching English Overseas in Asia are in Korea, Taiwan and Japan, although some teachers in China also earn high salaries. Elsewhere, the best salaries are paid by employers in the oil-producing countries of the Arabia Gulf.
Employers almost always prefer a BA or BS degree, but it is not legally essential in most countries. However, it is impossible to work legally Teaching English Overseas in some parts of Asia and the Mid East without a BA/BS degree.
Most of the better employers now require or at least prefer teachers to be both trained and certified. So if you want a good job, particularly Teaching English Overseas in the more competitive markets, you should seriously consider taking a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate training course.
Basic TEFL training and certification can be obtained quite quickly for those interested in Teaching English Overseas. Even the most widely recognized TEFL certificate in the world, the Cambridge CELTA, can be obtained in only four weeks. Some other reputable TEFL certificate courses can also be completed in four weeks (or part-time over three to eighteen months). Some shorter training courses are available but the best employers do not usually recognize them.
