 |
|
This may be a question that has been asked a million times, but as this Section states, its for newbies like me.
I am a teacher at a college in Canada. I have a two year college diploma. Everywhere I read about ESL teaching jobs the requirement is a four year Bachelor Degree. Is there any options for someone in my position?
My common law partner has a Bachelors degree so she has no concern, but are there english teaching opportunities for me?
Thanks for any help you can provide. |

| Not all countries require a BA by law, and the fact that you're a teacher might help. But it depends where you are thinking of going. Give us some idea, and we can likely tell you what you're facing. |

Not all BA degrees are 4 years long. Many countries accept BA's earned in 3.
Depending on the country you want to work in, you might get a working holiday visa, or use the combination work experience and schooling to get the work visa.
Check the regs on each country that interests you. |

That's what I was wondering!
In answer to your question, though, you can teach in Indonesia, Laos, Cambodia, and much of Latin America without a BA. It all depends on how far up the teaching ladder you want to go. Most people here who are in it for the long term seem to have related MAs. |
