Why not? Just says native english speakers. After 25 years in the US, his English is probably far better than his German. |
naturegirl, they would not be able to give him a visa. You need to have an American, British, Canadain passport to get a visa to teach English.
I was not commenting on his English rather than the legalities of getting a working visa to teach English. Even if it is not true in Japan, in Korea and Taiwan a German passport would only get you a work permit to teach German. |
Ok, I understand that, but wouldn'�t Australians, New Zealanders, South Africans, and Irish also be allowed to teach? I guess he should just get the citizenship. |

If I were certified to teach in the States and wanted to go overseas, I'd check the DODDS (Dept. of Defense Dependents Schools) system, especially those on the military bases in Germany. Good pay, moving allowance, an ID card so you can take advantage of on-base shopping...and the kids, from what I hear, are better behaved than the average American kid. I don't know if you have to be a U.S. citizen, though.
But as a German citizen, you can teach anywhere in the EU. Why not try there? You'd qualify as a bilingual. |

And, positions are as rare as hen's teeth. I mean, go and apply, but before you do, realize that it's an "old boys network". Lotza luck there!

Of course they qualify but sometimes I wonder how South Africans are on the list. |
