I am thinking of taking an ESL certification course to teach English abroad. I am wondering how the economy has affected English teachers particularly in places like Japan and South Korea. How difficult is it to obtain a teaching position abroad with or without the certification?

I am looking to teach primarily in Thailand. Does anyone know of any good websites with companies that offer teaching contracts for Thailand? As well, I am interested in teaching English in Japan, China, Korea, or Vietnam. Can anyone recommend any sites for those places as well?

Best,

I am 32 years old and thinking about teaching English abroad (probably China). It could be for a year or several years depending how I like it. I am concerned about what type of career I will have when I move back home. Does anyone have experience teaching English abroad and using that experience to move into something else once they returned? By the way I have a degree in HR and would like something related to that or to business in general.

I am interested in spending some time overseas in a teaching capacity. I’ve never done anything like this before and I’m finding the process a little confusing. I did a general search and came up with some interesting prospects but as of now, I have no way of knowing whether the training/placement schools I’ve found are reputable. How do I make sure the sponsor program I choose is on the level?
