Teach English abroad in Japan, Spain, or Argentina?We Answered:
First off, you do not need to know the "local Language" to teach abroad. In fact, most schools prefer that you teach only in English. What you will need is a TEFL certificate. The min requirements for most places are a BA & a TEFL certificate. I did a 4 week course in Prague (TEFL Worldwide Prague) back in 2006 and have been teaching abroad ever since.Japan will be the easiest place for you to find work. They are always looking for teachers, and english is very important in that culture. The pay is great and you will have a good choice of places to work.
Spain is really hard to find legal work. They tend to hire ONLY EU citizens, although some people find under the table jobs.
Anyway, good luck! My advice is get your TEFL certificate and then apply to jobs in Japan. :)

Thinking of teaching English in Japan? Watch this first!!?We Answered:
This is the downside of teaching asl. You are going "off the reserve" so to speak. There is no teacher's union. You are a foreigner and have no rights (unlike western countries where foreigners have more rights than locals). They simply deport you and their problem disappears. Good luck launching your appeal from overseas. Another scammer to avoid is Scott Forrester.Philip Said:
Where would a person with a BA in business go and teach english? Korea, CHina, Japan? Who should I consult tWe Answered:
You should be able to find a lot of helpful information at http://www.eslcafe.com/.With no experience, the easiest option by far is Korea, as language institutes will pay for your flight over there and do not require any sort of certification, and the cost of living is reletively low while living in a very modern country.

What Degree is best if I want to teach English in Japan?We Answered:
It depends on where you want to teach. If you want to teach for a conversation school, any degree is fine, TESOL isn't required. It's been said before, a job at a conversation school doesn't have great security. JLPT isn't required at all.If you want to teach at an international school (this can include more than just teaching English), you need an education degree. JLPT 2 isn't required in this case. But this isn't teaching English.
There are some small schools that will ask for TESOL certificates, but they're likely to be small privately owned conversation schools.
Teaching in an actual school (elementary, junior high, elementary) can be a bit more difficult to get a full time job. Basically, the English teacher there is Japanese, while the foreigner is an ALT, an assistant. Those jobs can be found through dispatch companies or through the JET program (this option is maximum 2 years, though). They generally have the same requirements as conversation schools.
Having JLPT 2 doesn't usually help you with an English teaching job, unless the school asks for it. However, it will help you with general life. Being able to speak Japanese will help you get through normal everyday things, like using the bank, watching TV, and talking to just about anyone.
My best advice is to do a search for schools putting advertisements for teachers on the internet. See what they ask for.
Good luck.

My co-worker is leaving us to teach English in Japan to juniors, what gift would be appropriate for her?We Answered:
A "Memories Album" -- an album or scrapbook with photos, advice, letters, cartoons, funny stories or comments from her present co-workers. It could also include memorabilia such as badges, banners, ribbons, certificates, etc. from school events such as games, trips, ceremonies or other special occasions.
