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.
