 |
|
I'd like to know, in your opinion, will having a Masters in Teaching ESOL open a lot of doors for me?
I'm planning on starting a program in the U.S. in the spring and I want to do something different.
I currently teach middle school and work at Berlitz part time. |

In general, the more experience and qualifications you have, the more doors will open.
connections and being in the right place at the right time help as well. |

Having an MA will help you with university jobs and/or better pay. It is sort of a minimum requirement to teach in the US, but it can still look impressive in other countries.

| It depends what sector you want to teach. Masters are mainly useful (or required) for university work, but not usually needed for primary/secondary/private language schools. |

Thanks for the replies.
I currently teach middle school and work at a language center part timhe (in the U.S.).
So I'm hoping to either stay here and work at the university level or move back to Brazil and work at a university there.
I don't want to stay in my current position for too many more years - I'll be burned out. |
