Description
Teach ESL in International Schools
A growth market:
Worldwide, over 4 million students are now attending English-medium international schools.
There are over 7,000 of these schools. By 2025, it is estimated that this number will reach 15,000. These are not ‘language tutoring schools’. They are Primary, Middle & High Schools - many running the full program of Nursery/Kindergarten through to Grade 12/6th Form. A huge percentage of their students need to learn English as a Second Language – or even as a third or a fourth language.
Which means that all of these schools need English language teachers….
o Have you ever thought about a teaching career overseas?
o Not just temp teaching at some language school but Teaching English as a Second Language at a real international school, preparing students for internationally recognised qualifications.
o Where a job in one school can be a stepping-stone to another.
Perhaps you…
…are teaching (or training to teach) in your home country but are looking abroad
or
…have never taught before but have been thinking about a fresh start overseas
or
…wonder what teaching ESL in an international school really means
or
…are simply confused by all of the lingo in the job ads
or
…wonder what the perks are? And the pitfalls?
or
…are confused by all of the different kinds of schools out there
or
…just wonder where to look for jobs
then
…for these and many other reasons, this guide is for you.
It is to help you enter ESL in an International School without those rose-tinted glasses that might set you up for a nasty surprise. And to help you get started on your ESL career, level-headed and with confidence.
Understand what those job ads want, understand the job ahead, and you can really enjoy a great career overseas.
