How to become an ESL teacher?
BSS asked:
I’m starting to think teaching ESL may be something I’m interested in, since I already want to major in linguistics. What’s the process of teaching abroad? What’s the typical job availability/pay? Do I have to be fluent in the language of the country I teach in? What are the most common/best countries to go to? Any advice or experience would be appreciated.

you speak english. Requirements are based on the country you teach in, you need to take TOFL, ESL classes, usually a teaching cert.
I taught in china and you don’t have to take an esl classes. They’ll take anyone. Europe, japan, you have to have teaching exp, esl classes. Serene E

Haha, my mom is an ESL teacher! She really loves it. I don’t know much about it but I do know you don’t have to know their language. It may be easier, though. It depends on what level your teaching, like if you teach level 1-3 you may want to learn their language because it would be easier, but thats the only reason why you would have too. pupphia
