 |
|
Any Canadians out there with an MA TESOL teaching in the USA? I would be interested to hear more about the employment process and potential employment markets (any opportunities in south-eastern USA)? Was your degree done on-campus or via distance education? I am scheduled to start an on-campus MA program in Sept 2014.
I am currently working in Japan. I am really torn between doing a distance MA or on-campus MA. I am worried that doing the online degree will close too many doors for me (Middle East, specifically). But I may also want to seek employment in North America later, so I am posting here. I'm not getting any younger either. 
Thanks for the feedback.
Cheers |

This really depends on which ME country you're talking about. Saudi and Kuwait are out, but the UAE's Ministry of Higher Education accepts them assuming they are accredited and have a good rep. Also, you can get a job in Canada with a distance degree. I have a distance Masters and have just resigned from a government funded job here to take one in the UAE 
Just sayin'...

Ditto what Smedini said. Plus, you'll be in a better position to compete for those UAE jobs once you have a minimum of three years' university-level teaching experience post-MA.
(Congrats on your new position, Smedini.) |
