Teaching English Attractions & Activities - The Best Holiday Destinations for 2020
-
This article is a travel topic.
One way to travel--or to pay for your travels--is to get a job overseas teaching English. If you want to spend several years in a destination, this is a popular way to earn a living.
Jobs worth considering as a long-term prospect--or even as a career--are widely available. They generally require qualifications and experience; see Certificates below. In some positions, the benefits include airfare and housing. Other jobs might do to supplement a backpacker's income, or even let you live somewhere interesting for a year. For some of these types of jobs, especially in remote areas, anyone who looks foreign and speaks some English can get work. However this varies greatly from country to country and type of institution.
Speaking the local language is not generally required, though it may be quite useful in beginner classes and may make your stay more pleasant in other ways.
