How To Teach English Abroad
Filed under What's NEW This Month
Have you ever wanted to teach English abroad?
What if I told you that you could choose the location you wanted to visit, get paid for going there, connect with the locals in an intimate way, and stay for as short or as long as you wanted?
Sounds pretty good, right? It can be done and it’s easier than you may thing.
I’m describing the life of an ESL teacher, and this month’s interview with Shane Phair from ESL Herald will show you exactly how you can teach English abroad and while overseas! ESL Herald is essentially the Monster.com of finding jobs teaching English in a foreign country, and you’re lucky enough to learn from someone who helps people get jobs every single day!
If you’ve got a little bit of travel experience, sense of adventure, and ability to adapt, this could be the right fit for you. You don’t necessarily need to know the language of the country you’re going to visit… in fact, many of the available jobs require that you don’t speak the local language in the classroom. With that being said, however, you’re going to have a great opportunity to learn the native tongue, usually for free, in the country you’re staying in.
Shane does a great job in balancing fascinating, information-packed content with painting a real-life picture of what you’re going to experience when you teach English abroad.
In this ‘Teach English Abroad’ interview, you’ll discover:
- The specific countries where, dollar-for-dollar, you can make the most money while teaching abroad. You’re never going to guess what these are!
- A 4-prong attack that you can follow, step-by-step, to go from ‘nowhere’ to having a job teaching english within a few short weeks.
- The tools, resources, and in-classroom activities that you can ethically ‘rip-off’ and use when you’re in the classroom.
- The most important factors that employers look for… HINT: follow this tip and you’ll get a job more quickly than any of your competitors!
- How to get a ‘recruiter’ to help place you in your dream job. This is like having your very own agent who sells you when you’re not wanting or able to do the job search process yourself.
- The certification, proper skills, and training that you’ll need to get started immediately.
- How to get a visa and the proper authorization to be in the country where you’re going to be teaching.
- How to ‘get around’ immigration laws… this method isn’t endorsed by MoneyForTraveling or by ESLHerald, but we do cover it!
- Details about taxes and fees for living in a foreign city.
If you’re serious about finding ways to travel and experience new cultures, you should think seriously about the choice to teach English abroad!

Highly recommended! If these resources have helped you in your decision to teach English abroad, let us know by leaving a comment! Do you want to live abroad and work as a teacher? You can teach English to non-English speaking countries. There as a high demand for these professionals especially all across Asia. Japan, Vietnam, South Korea, China, Hong Kong, Turkey, Thailand and Taiwan are just some of the Asian countries looking for English speaking teachers. Even European countries like Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Poland, and France and also some South American countries like, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Brazil and Argentina offer teaching opportunities English is the widely accepted secondary language of the world. Many consider it to be the language of opportunity and teaching English as a foreign language, as an industry, still continues to grow and it has not reached its peak yet. If you want to teach English as a travel job here are the steps how: Keep in mind that you will teach English to people who have a very limited understanding on the language; some don’t have any idea at all. Perceptibly, the method and approach of teaching should be very different. This is why there should be supplementary training for aspiring teachers of English as a secondary language. First, you must get certifications to qualify you to teach English abroad. The two certifications are TEFL and TESOL. TEFL is an acronym for Teaching English as a foreign language while TESOL is for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. They may be used interchangeably if you’d like. If you are qualified TEFL or TESOL teacher you can automatically work as a teacher in non-native English-speaking countries. There are a lot of Asian countries who are in demand of TEFL or TESOL teachers. Europe may have varying demands but certified TEFL/TESOL teachers can work there as well. TEFL and TESOL certifications are offered in US and Australia but you can also get them online. They are not really difficult. A little research and study of English and teaching methodology can give you passable results. There are some websites that provide online training courses and resources. You can study at your own pace and get the exam for the certification at your own convenience Some sites also offer a longer program that goes on for several months. These online programs are very helpful and comprehensive. The TEFL teacher training program is intended to prepare novice instructors to teach English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in minimal or short-term contexts. It will include not only a review of English but also the teaching methodology and theories about it. Some techniques may be taught and some are even specialized for different kinds of cultures. One good thing about these certificate giving bodies is that they don’t have any prerequisites. Whether you are a professor in English or a high school drop out, you are still eligible to take the test and certification. All you need is the dedication and eagerness to learn. The certifications of TESOL and TEFL are signed by the IATQUO (International Association of TESOL Qualifying Organizations) making it accountable worldwide. So, after your get your certification it will be fairly easy to find a job. The best advice I can give is to have passion in your chosen career and have fun. Teaching English to foreign people in a foreign land is emotionally and financially rewarding.
