Hi, sort of following on from what ive asked before. Does anybody have or know where I can obtain a list of countries that you dont need a degrre to teach english in legally? It would be a real help.

Thank you

No one can give you such a list because no one can make a blanket statement about whether every single school in a country either requires or does not require a degree. In the same country a university may require an M.A. while some street corner language academy will happily hire any native speaker with a pulse.

In general, the countries that pay the least are the ones that have the lowest qualification requirements. The only exception is the USA where you're expected to have a long list of qualifications for very low pay. Think Latin America and the Far East minus Japan. Forget about the Middle East. Don't have any experience in Europe.

P.S.: If you want people in this profession to take you seriously, learn to spell and punctuate properly.

Ouch.

Mexico is interesting in this respect. The official story is that you need a degree. On the ground, this isn't true. A letter from a language center, school, or university carries more weight with immigration. And you can earn a decent income in some places in Mexico.

I have to imagine this to be true in other Latin American countries, though with less income.

Do you normally ask the same question twice ?

Hello there,
In Argentina you can work in private english institutes for a couple of months without a problem, what I can�t tell you if you are going to be paid a lot, though I guess not!
If you need any other help, just drop a line!
