How to teach english in a foreign country by Jennifer Fresh

"Teaching overseas was an incredibly rewarding and fun experience."

How I did it: This was more than a decade ago, so forgive me if some of the info is dated: I had a friend who was teaching in Kaohsiung, Taiwan who said he could probably get me some work. I immediately decided to go, and when I got there, I found tons of work at small, privately-owned language schools. I did not have a college degree, which I believe is now preferred for most esl teachers...not sure though.

Lessons & tips: If you get a chance to teach overseas, I highly recommend it. The money is usually enough to live on, and sometimes way more. It's a great way to learn a language and immerse yourself in a culture while supporting your traveling habit, if you've got one, haha.

    One of my professors this summer was on the board for the JET program in Japan. I’m so excited! He is so nice and he would be the perfect reference if I decided to to the JET program. We meet on Monday to talk of strategy. So awesome!

    I plan on teaching in Japan from April 2009- April 2010 possibly longer if I like it a lot. I’m also planning on teaching in China from August 2010 to June 2012 (Yes I planned that far ahead already.) The grad-school I’m hoping to attend (before the masters/ doctorate in Geography in Japan) is Prescott College. It’s a distance learning school so I can live wherever I want as long as I can get back twice a year for seminars.

    Music Teacher turns English teacher? 3 years ago

    I know that I love traveling. I’ll graduate December 07 with a BA in Instrumental Music Education. I will teach in my major, but…maybe I should explore some more before settling down?
    I’ve read success stories of how life changing teaching abroad can be. I don’t know if I’ll ever get enough guts to do it.
    I guess I have some more time to decide!
