I'm currently on a two year contract, that is up Feb. 2013, and I will not re-sign. I'm trying to get a grasp on what I can do in other countries around the world. Take a look, and tell me what I could do. I'll give the information of what I will have in 2013.

Any information on the Middle East would be great. Thanks.


Me:

USA citizen, male, 34.

Four years experience, all in Korea. One year at a language school, one year at a public elementary school, and two at a university.

Bachelor's degree from the US, MATESOL from a Korean university, and an online TEFL.

Not sure if it matters but also 3 years volunteering teaching North Korean refugees.

With that experience and education you can apply for the colleges and universities in the Emirates. If turned down you could well get a job in Oman, a good entry-level university/college position. Oman doesn't pay as well as the Emirates but you could do a couple of years there and try again.

the real question is whether the Ministry of Higher Education in the UAE will recognize the MATESOL from a korean university. If they recognize it, then no problem, if they don't it could be an issue.

Thanks a lot. I know it's accredited sufficiently for the US and England. People have gone on to PhD programs from my program in both countries.

whiteshoes I am curious to know why you left Korea..
I'm in Korea myself, and seeing that you completed a degree here in Korea I would imagine your Korean is really good.
I've been here for 3 years but am thinking about relocating.
