A
majority of us do not know there is an organization based in
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, by the name of "Teachers
of English
to Speakers
of Other
Languages"
(TESOL). TESOL offers an exciting way of teaching English worldwide.
Established in 1994, it has several branches in places like
Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Newark, Las Vegas,
San Diego, New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines,
China and Taiwan. The basic aim of TESOL has been to train English
teachers who can teach English to people whose mother tongues are
other than English. If there are 15 or more people willing to join
English classes in a place, the TESOL assigns teachers on contract
basis for a particular period. Demand for English teachers has been
constantly rising and presently North East Asia tops the demand chart
with 29% job vacancies for English Teachers, followed by Eastern
Europe with 16% and South East Asia with 14%. Even native English
speaking countries have a demand of 12%!
Contracts
range from one to two years and salaries depend on the
country/region. But air fare and accommodation are always free, you
have to teach for about four hours every day and you have a choice to
opt for extra time tutoring to earn extra bucks! On an average, you
could, with your hard work and controlled living expenses, end up
saving about a lac a month in Indian currency. Not a bad deal.
