are there many opportunityies for english native speakers to teach English overseas?

Question

Which countries are loking for english natives to teach English speaking classes? How hard is it to get a job, and where? What is involved?

Answer 1

My best friend's brothers both went to teach English in Japan. Neither one knew how to speak Japanese, but they each held a bachelor's degree at the time. Paul did it because he's in banking, and wanted the experience, and Garrett just did it to meet Japanese girls.
My friend Gina lives in Italy and does translations for money, but she speaks 5 languages fluently.
I wish I could help you more regarding where to research, but I hope I've helped a little. Good luck!

Answer 2

I teach English in Spain. Depending in the school they ask for professionals or not, if you look at the prices they charge, you see the better schools. OK, so native speakers are better are teaching vocabulary and are very good for the answers. And teachers who are from the country of origin have usually studied English philosophy, which many natives haven't a clue about, also they are usually better at teaching basic grammar as they have an understanding of what it was like to learn English as a foreigner. it's a great job and very satisfying, if you do it well, the main problem is that a lot of backpackers want to earn easy money and only stay for a few months, then it's the students who end up suffering. You have to have a pretty confident grasp of grammar if you don't want to look a fool, it's a pity that they don't teach more grammar in English schools as it would help in learning other languages. You try explaining 'inversion' and 'phrasal verbs' to people without knowing what you're talking about. (I've seen it done and it's painful to watch!!)

Answer 3

There are many English teaching jobs around the world. There are some placeswhere you can pick up a job just by being a native English speaker.

However, if you are serious about teaching English, get a real TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) cert.

You can earn decent money in some countries.

Big demand in China at the moment

Answer 4

Japan pays very well. I also know that you can teach in Nepal up to a certain grade level.

I don't know how difficult find a job is. Look some up on line. You can also go to any college campus and find advertisements for those wishing to teach ESL in foreign countries.

Japan would be my first try though. The pay is supposed to be very nice.

Answer 5

Try VietNam, why ?
Thailand've already had bunch of teachers
Hongkong, Japan , Singapore , Malaysia, they may be pay high but the living is too expensive
Laos, Cambodia don't looking for English teachers
VietNam , the living is quite cheap, and they also pay high price

Answer 7

Probably the main thing involved is to ensure you are teaching your students how to spell words like looking and opportunities, starting the sentence with a capitalised letter and of course to make sure the word English is properly capitalised.
