WHY ARE THERE SO MANY ESL OPPORTUNITIES?
There have been some recent developments that have created an increased demand for teachers. Here are a few
- Many Asian countries require their students to have a greater proficiency in English before entering college. Thus they require ESL studies in lower grades. This has created a big demand for ESL teachers for children.
- Most countries of the world want to have their citizens, particularly their youth speak English for greater participation in world trade.
- World diplomacy requires English.
- Barriers to gaining working permits as a foreigner have been removed for ESL teachers in many countries. Previously, access to real jobs was a circuitous process, but now is straightforward, in recognition of the high demand for ESL teachers.
- Most countries of the world want English from native speakers. Our partner organizations have the ability to accept inquiries from Australia, Canada, US and New Zealand.

BORED OR IN NEED OF ADVENTURE?

We dream of what might be out there but rarely have a chance to discover the rest of the world. Everyone who speaks English can have the opportunity to break from the routine and see the world. Whether you give a few months or the rest of your life, you will find a great experience awaiting you teaching English in a new country.

GIVE OF YOURSELF AND RECEIVE FOR A LIFETIME
If you, like many others, sense a mild guilt of your own good fortune and the misfortune of others. Teaching ESL is a concrete way to help others by giving time instead of money. The nations of the world are requesting we not send money — send help. Give the gift of your time, energy and knowledge to others. Make money and give of yourself. Weeks, months or years of you are more important than all the money in the world. Teaching English to overseas will open a world of opportunity to them and raise your spirits for a lifetime.

WHY ARE YOU WAITING FOR JOY?
The jobs are located in every non-English speaking country and many English speaking countries worldwide. However, in non-English speaking countries, only about 80 countries can provide the job opportunities and work conditions that attract English speakers. With your experience in the easier countries, you may want to move on in adventure to more difficult places. English speaking countries require ESL teachers to fulfill the demand in their country created by the influx of visiting students enrolling in English language programs.
