ESL (English as a Second Language)

If you’re looking for an exciting and rewarding career, consider teaching English as a second language. Although the pay for teaching English as a second language (ESL) is often less than one might expect to make in another profession, the work provides many opportunities for travel as well as a great sense of personal fulfillment. The best teaching positions require certification in the field, but there are some agencies that will hire ESL teachers with only a bachelor’s degree and no previous teaching experience.

Increasingly, English language skills are in high demand throughout the world. New immigrants to English-speaking countries enroll in ESL classes to learn the skills they need for assimilation, while foreign businessmen study English as part of their professional development. A successful ESL teacher is able to help students develop the reading, writing, and speaking skills they need to reach their goals.
