|
|
Hi all,
I am new to the forum and have been reading some of the discussions.
But just so I am clear...I have been teaching for 12 years in Chicago, have 2 master degrees in eduation, an endorsement in ESL, and have aslo been an ESL teacher for the last 4 years.
With these qualifications I will not need a TESOL certificate to teach abroad. Is that a correct statement?
Thanks |

Do you want to teach ESL or teach in an international school?
you have 12 years teaching experience, but teaching what? If you've been teaching ESL, you should be fine I believe. But as usual, the more quals you have the better.
You don't NEED a tefl cert to teach abroad, most countries require a BA in order to get a visa.
Have you looked at intl schools? |

You will NOT need a TESOL cert to teach anywhere on the planet insofar as the visa is concerned.
