				I'll keep it short:  I want to teach adults/college students in Russia, preferably Moscow.  I have a Master's degree in TESOL/Linguistics from an American university.  I am a lecturer at a university in the states where I have taught ESL writing classes for the past 4 years.
 
 
What are my options? 
 
 
Also: Are there jobs available in the universities?  Am I qualified?  How do I find them? |

				Is ESL writing the only work experience you have? How big are your classes? Have you taught in privately-owned language schools before?
 
 
It is not impossible to get a job with an MA Applied Linguistics. It all depends who your contacts are. |

				| No, ESL writing is not the only ESL experience I have.  And, yes, I have taught in privately-owned language schools before - why do you ask? |

				| You should highlight your TEFL experience in language schools, and not the Writing Class at your university. |
