I have a BA and a MA in International Peace and TESOL.

Studying a Doctor of Ed leadership and realizing I should also study either a DELTA or a Post grad cert in Linguistics. Do you think that is enough to land a decent job in UAE? Like HCT, Zayed or UAEU

So... is your MA in "international peace" or "TESOL" or do you have two MAs?

If you have an MA in Applied Linguistics/TESOL, you should eventually be able to get a job with one of the better employers.

You will also need to present them with a few years of related experience - teaching Academic English - preferably writing - preferably to Arabic speakers.

I'd like to know more about the MA in International Peace - which university provides this degree and what exactly is the course of study?

www.apus.edu offers a MA in international peace and conflict resolution, I focused on the middle east and finished it while I was there.

Never heard of them... doubt that they are recognized in the Gulf... and can't think of any use for one in education there.

What does one do with such a degree?

What did you mean by "TESOL"?
