I've been working in ESL/EFL since '95 and have worked in such diverse places as Korea and Saudi Arabia from language institutes to universities. However, I always felt a lack of security in these positions. For the last three years, I've been working at DLI in San Antonio, Texas. It's been great!! You want a career? You got it complete with federal retirement benefits. You don't want to work in the states? No, problem. Since I started working there, I've done six-month assignments in Slovakia, Japan and currently, Djibouti. When I decide to return to the US, I just slide right back behind my old desk.

Why am I writing this? Well, I've been a long time reader of this forum and I know about some of the negative situations that are out there. I just want everyone to know that there are professional positions for EFL instructors. You just have to look for them.

Good luck,

Are there any photos? I saw one photo. Maybe I'm missing something.

I'd like to hear more about the teaching and job requirements/benefits.

Thanks for checking it out. It's only three days old and grows a little every day slowly but surely. I have a permanent photo at the bottom of myself in Djibouti and a slide show at the top. The slide show will change weekly according to my current plans.

For the benefits/requirements go to http://www.dlielc.org/ and click the 'ESL Job opportunities' tab. If you have any more questions, please send me a pm. I'm happy to help.
