Teaching english overseas?We Answered:
It is competitive but if you have the right qualifications you can find work fairly easily. There are still plenty of jobs about and there is still a demand for English teachers.In general you'll need a degree (although there are still possibilities if you do not have this) and a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate to get a visa and work. The TEFL certificate can be taken either in-house or online at your own pace which is a much cheaper option (see http://icalweb.com).
Have you also considered China? That's where there is a LOT of work right now and so if Korea or Japan fall through, this might be a useful third choice.

I was applying for an English teaching job overseas and was asked by the recruiter for a copy of my passport?We Answered:
It sounds like there is some ulterior motive for this. Do they pay for your visa (is it work sponsored job)? If so, they can legitimately ask for a copy especially if you don't have enough validity on your passport.Another qualification you may not consider is your nationality. I know that a lot of Filipinos learn to speak American English so it some cases it may be preferable to have someone American over someone English or Welsh.
Dora Said:
Is IELTS valid for teaching English overseas?We Answered:
No. IELTS is not a teaching qualification. In order to teach English abroad, you need to be a qualified English teacher. The most common qualification is called the TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) qualification and you need to undergo a course in order to qualify to be a teacher.Check out this site if you want to know more:

How do I find a job teaching English overseas?We Answered:
You will find it hard to get job teaching English in Europe. Since most of the 27 EU countries prefer to hire teachers from other EU countries. That way there is no paper work, visa problems etc. An employer have to advertise any teaching position in all 27 EU countries before he/she would take someone from outside the EU. Someone on this mention Poland. Poland is an EU country.Rita Said:
Will I be able to get a job teaching english overseas?We Answered:
More than likely. My wife taught in Japan for a year, but with a bachelors. However, be careful what company you work for...the best are private, small ones. They contract you and will provide free housing, plus salary. Some will even pay your airfare. Look around and you will find a great deal and wonderful experiences to last a lifetime!Tanya Said:
How can i get a job teaching english overseas?We Answered:
It is really easy getting a job as an English teacher in Asia....well it is a bit more difficult now. I have been teaching English in China for 3 years now and it's great.You can go to sites like www.daveseslcafe.com where schools and private businesses put up job offers where you can browse through and look and the requirements and blah blah blah.
That site helped me get a job in Asia. I know Japan, Taiwan and Korea are one of the most difficult places to get a job as an English teacher compared to the other places.
But if you have a Bachelor's degree everything should be great.
Good luck and I hope you will have fun being a teacher.

Quickest way to get a English teaching job overseas?We Answered:
Long gone are the days when your ability to speak English was enough to get you a good job teaching English abroad. With the rise in TEFL as a profession employers are requiring higher standards from their teachers, and rightly so! A certificate in TEFL/TESOL is now the minimum requirement for any reputable school. Although it is still possible to pick up a job without a certificate, there is the risk of working for bananas, and you will most certainly earn less than your certified counterparts.Here's a link to to a site that can greatly help you with your teaching job pursuit:
