|
|
Hi everyone,
I've already bothered people with this question on other boards. Anyways I have an MA TESOL through a UK university, a TESOL certificate, and several years of experience in pretty well every teaching context (short of university). I do lack a BA - which I understand seems odd - and was able to get into the program based on my teaching experience.
I'm now exploring options, and would like to know if this might pose an issue in Singapore - mainly with regard to work visas. I'm interested mainly in university work (which I'm not sure if I'm eligible for without uni experience) or work at the junior high/high school level.
Much appreciated, |

The main issue will be whether the MA was studied online or not. This might not be a problem outside the Middle East, though. |

It's considered blended learning (a mix of in-class lectures, and online research). |

Blended learning would not cut it in the Middle East. They check for any online component. Elsewhere they are more relaxed, though! |

Thanks for quick response. Not so interested in the ME at the moment fortunately - though might be someday in order to make some bank.
Any clue about the sitch in Singapore? |

You could land work here, though probably not at Singapore govt universities.
There are plenty of other places that will have you. |

Thanks for that! Would I likely be settling for language center work, or might there be other options? |

You mentioned your teaching cert. Is it a CELTA or Trinity rather than an online?
You should try one of the many private tertiary education providers. |

Hello, I am also similar to the Sudz, 6 years experience, Trinity cert and MA TESOL. I am interested in opportunities in the TESOL industry in Singapore? Preferably something that requires a masters.
any leads? |
