Have you ever considered teaching English as a second language (ESL)? Whether you’re seeking to augment your teaching career or transition from your present profession into a teaching career, you’ll find that teaching ESL is a great choice that offers outstanding travel and employment opportunities, both within the United States and abroad.

Immigrants To The United States Keep ESL Employment Opportunities Growing

Every year, there is an influx of immigrants to the United States from around the world. In fact, according to a report from the U.S. Office of Immigration Statistics, over one million individuals were granted permanent resident status and nearly 75,000 people were designated as refugees to the U.S. in 2009.

When adults who have immigrated to the U.S need help with understanding, reading, writing and speaking English, they are often referred to an ESL class, led by a certified teacher. These trained professionals are in demand, and job opportunities should continue to grow into the future. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employment for adult literacy teachers – particularly of English as a second language – is expected to grow faster than the average occupation in the coming years.

ESL Teachers Can Travel Abroad For Work And Adventure

Because it is the international language of business, professionals around the world line up for English classes. And as more business is conducted on a global scale, teaching English as a second language is increasingly an in-demand, global profession. Once you obtain ESL education and certification, you can teach ESL anywhere: from Europe and South America, to Asia and Africa.

If you are interested in Asia, consider what setting fits you best. Do you prefer the bright lights of Tokyo, or a quieter place, like Nikko? Check out the qualifications for the city or town you’d like to teach in. Depending on your education level, you might be ready to teach ELS in Japan or another Asian country sooner than you think.

Is an international city, like Paris, more fitting for you? Would you enjoy teaching English as a second language at an immersion camp for French children and teenagers? Qualifications vary for ESL positions like this; while some ESL positions do not require certifications, others do. And you might not even need to speak French to land a fun job in this exciting city.

An attractive aspect of an ESL teaching career is the flexibility to teach Stateside or explore the globe – it’s completely up to you. Just be sure to do the research to determine what education level, experience, additional languages and working papers are required for the areas you are most interested in. And then, pack your bags, grab your passport and get ready for adventure.

Pursuing ESL Education And Certification Means Countless Career Opportunities In The Future

Obtaining professional education and certification in teaching English as a second language offers great personal and professional satisfaction. Becoming an ESL teacher will not only expand your cultural horizons – it will also open doors to career opportunities others can only dream of.

No matter what your current profession, you can pursue teaching English as a second language. Whether you want to help immigrants to the U.S. improve their economic and social status, or help a merchant in Switzerland learn how to conduct business with a supplier in Beijing, innumerable employment opportunities are available for ESL certified teachers.

If you’re the kind of person who works well with people from a variety of cultural, education and economic backgrounds, and if you’re interested in bringing English to enthusiastic learners, a teaching career in ESL could be a great fit. Find out how ESL education and certification can put you on the path to a new adventure, whether it’s somewhere close to home or a more exotic locale.
