The post 5 English Teaching Steps In A Foreign Country appeared first on TESOLS.

Some people get too use to where they live and do not want to tour the world. At BootnAll, we take it upon ourselves to encourage people to take tour strides away from their comfort zones to other beautiful locations. Taking a tour to see the world is quite a new culture that is gaining popularity today, especially in America. What prevent some people from taking tour is usually the hang-ups and travel stress.

But the real reason why people really do not tour is money due to low paying jobs. Although quitting a job during economic regression  is a normal trend, some people still do not find it easy to take that leap. I totally agree that not everyone will want to take such chances.

If you belong to the class of people that loves travelling and don’t want to take job quitting risk without an alternative steady income source, then you can explore the other available ways to travel round the world. There are many careers and jobs require lots travelling. If you feel leaving your job to travel around the world is too big a risk to take and you really cannot do that, in that case, you can explore possible ways of combining both travelling to see the world and job.

Digital Nomad

Digital nomad is a buzz word that is becoming more and more popular.  Being able to live and travel while still working is gaining major steam, so if you have any skills that can be done solely online, then think of ways to make that into a business. Many web designers, writers, artists, photographers, and consultants are making the move to a nomadic lifestyle because they can.

If you can work with clients from developed countries throughout North American, Europe, and Australia/New Zealand, get paid in your home currency, but live and/or travel throughout developing countries and regions, then you can save a ton while still working and experiencing the world.  Becoming a digital nomad is the future.  It allows you to do what you love, see the world, and actually make a living wage doing so.

>> Find out about the Best Places for Expats to Live, and read Corbett Barr’s post about 10 of the most successful digital nomads.

Pilot

Another position that combines the best of both worlds is becoming a commercial airline pilot.  It’s a glamorous job, and if you are looking for a way to see the world and get paid well for it, then this may be the career for you.  There are pros and cons to every career, and while being a pilot pays well and is great for the travel lover, the road to becoming a pilot is not an easy one.

You need to obtain commercial pilot and medical certificates to get started.  Then it’s necessary to pass several tests and log at least 250 hours in the air, all of which costs money that comes out of your pocket.  A college degree is preferred and many pilots have them, but it’s not a necessity.

>> Check out the FAA site for all the specifics on becoming an airline pilot. And even if you aren’t going to become a pilot, learn how to fly smart and affordably.

ESL Teacher

Becoming an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher is perhaps the most popular way to see the world and still make some money doing it, especially for young people.  Obtaining a certificate (there are several different ones-TEFL, TESOL, and CELTA being the most widely accepted) is encouraged and necessary in many parts of the world, but in others, particularly SE Asia and Latin America, having a college degree and being a native English speaker is enough.

The type of work varies wildly depending on the area of the world you are teaching in.  South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan tend to pay the best, but make sure you do your homework before signing on, as horror stories abound.

Teaching ESL in another country, particularly a developing country with low costs of living, typically gives teachers a lot of flexibility and time off to travel around the region they are teaching in.  Plus it gives the opportunity to live and work in another culture, all the while putting some money in your pocket.  There are people who work their whole lives as ESL teachers, moving to a new place each time their contract is up.

>> Check out 17 questions you should ask before accepting a TEFL job.

Travel Writer

Most people think of travel writing as a glamorous job that sees one traversing the globe on the company dime.  And while that is the case for writers of certain publications, the reality of the situation is that most aspiring travel writers work really hard for little pay.  For every Rolf Potts or Leif Pettersen, there are hundreds of freelancers making the equivalent of minimum wage.

” It’s a long and arduous journey at times, but if you love to travel and write, there’s no better way to combine both of your passions.  “

While it may seem like I’m dissuading you from becoming a travel writer, it’s also important to point out that having someone else pay your way during a trip is pretty awesome.  It’s a long and arduous journey at times, but if you love to travel and write, there’s no better way to combine both of your passions.

While a degree in English or journalism certainly helps, it’s just as important to have a strong work ethic and entrepreneurial skills to make it as a travel writer. Getting hired as a full-time travel writer on staff is unlikely though. Most people start doing it as a second job, or hobby, and slowly build up their experience and portfolio.  Starting a blog is a great way to get your name out there and get noticed, and there are tons of publications that accept pitches from aspiring writers (including here at BootnsAll).

Cruise Ship Employee

The work may be long and the pay not very great, but if you want to see the world, consider getting a job on a cruise ship.  The opportunities are seemingly endless, and if you have any background in food service, entertainment, health care or hospitality, finding a job will be easier. DJs, dance instructors, child caregivers, hosts and hostesses,  lifeguards, swim instructors, tour leaders, doctors and nurses, spa technicians, hair stylists, cleaning staff, engineers, chefs and food servers  all are in demand on a cruise ship.

The best way to get into the cruise business is to contact one of the many recruitment agencies or simply visit the websites of large cruise lines to see their job openings and requirements.  Any offshore experience in any of the related fields can help you get a job on a cruise ship.  Keep in mind that accommodations are typically shared, hours are really long, and pay isn’t the greatest.  However, you get room and board for free, so saving most of what you make is possible, and you’ll visit great destinations all over the world.

Tour Guide

If you love action, history, and working with people, then it might be a good idea to look into becoming a tour guide.  If there are certain destinations and activities that you are passionate and knowledgeable about, then becoming a tour guide can allow you to see and explore the world and get paid for it.

You can get trained and certified to become a tour guide at a school, and while it may help you find a job, it’s not a necessity.  The most important traits a tour guide must have are people skills, enthusiasm, and knowledge of the area you want to lead tours in.  Being bi or multi-lingual makes you extremely appealing, so if you speak more than one language, your opportunities skyrocket.

If you have many interests, consider freelancing to maximize your expertise and money-making abilities.  The pay isn’t always the greatest, but keep in mind that many tour guides receive tips, so the better you are, the more you make.

>> Check out ITMI and IGA, two of the oldest and most popular schools for becoming a tour guide.

Flight Attendant

The downside to many of the jobs on this list is low pay.  You may get to see a lot of the world, but you’re still not going to be padding your bank account.  A job as a flight attendant offers the best of both worlds as the pay is generally pretty good while allowing you to see many parts of the world as part of your career.

While many think flight attendants are there to take care of customer service issues and keep passengers happy, it’s not as simple as that.  Enforcing safety and security measures while having first aid certification and expertise is also vitally important if you want to become a flight attendant.

Flexibility is another essential trait, and if you are multi-lingual, more opportunities (and better pay) will be available to you.  A degree, especially in hospitality, certainly helps but is not a requirement.  While there are online schools and flight schools to become a flight attendant, it’s more important to focus on hospitality training and customer service experience.

International School Teacher

While ESL is the most widely known way to teach and travel, the main issue, particularly in developing countries, is that the pay is poor.  Sure, countries like South Korea can pay well, but the administrative processes can be a pain, and some of the schools and situations are horrible once over there.  If you are already a certified teacher in a western country like the US, UK, or Australia, and you love to travel, it might be a good idea to look into international schools.

International schools are set up around the world to educate ex-pats in the curriculum of their home country.  So if you are a certified teacher in the US, look into international schools with American curriculums.

They are located in countries around the world, many times educating military children and offspring of international businessmen and families living abroad.  Pay is typically in the home country’s currency and on par with what you would get paid at home, and housing and flights are usually included as well.  It’s a great opportunity for teachers who love to travel, and even if you are married with children, there are plenty of schools who welcome families.

>> Check out Teach Anywhere for more information about teaching at international schools around the world.

Travel Nurse

Like certified teachers, certified nurses also have the opportunity to travel while still pursuing their careers.  Medical care is one of the few professions which hasn’t been terribly affected by the recession, so travel nurses remain in high demand.

If you are already a nurse and looking for a new experience that can also benefit your career, then consider becoming a travel nurse.  You can learn new practices and work in a variety of clinical settings, all the while getting paid well (while staying in free housing) and having the opportunity to experience a completely new culture.

“They look for all types of nurses, but it’s good to have at least 1.5-2 years of experience at home first before looking into this opportunity.”

If you are already a certified nurse, the best way to become a travel nurse is to sign on with a Travel Nursing company.  There are tons out there, so do your homework.  It’s best to join one that has been around for a while and has a experience placing nurses in the right environment.

Ask to speak personally to clients of theirs who they have placed in the region you want to go.  Assignments typically range from 8-52 weeks, with the average being 13 weeks.  They look for all types of nurses, but it’s good to have at least 1.5-2 years of experience at home first before looking into this opportunity.

Ready for a career break?

Au Pair

For younger people (typically age 18-27) becoming an au pair in a foreign country is a great way to travel, experience another culture, and learn a new language, all the while being paid to do so.  Au Pairs usually move into a family’s home to take care of children and pitch in on the housework.

In exchange, the au pair typically gets paid a small stipend, receives free room and board, and some form of education, usually language classes.  It’s a great immersion program for young people and can be a great experience.  Like travel nursing, there are a great amount of agencies assisting in the placement of au pairs, so make sure you do the necessary research.

Peace Corps

Another great way to see the world, experience another culture, all the while making a difference, is to become a Peace Corps volunteer.  It will not be easy, it will not be glamorous, and it will not be lucrative (you are volunteering, remember?) but it will be fulfilling and it will change your life.  There are a million things to look into and consider before joining the Peace Corps, so don’t make a hasty decision to join.  It’s definitely not for everyone.

>> Read Five Reasons Not to Join the Peace Corps

NGO Worker

Working for a non-governmental organization is another great way to see the world and make a difference doing it.  There are all types of jobs and opportunities out there, from farming to medical to business to teaching and everything in between.

The pay is not good (and sometimes they only accept volunteers) and a degree (particularly in social work) and experience in the field you’re looking into is helpful as working for an NGO is quite competitive.  If you’re willing to overlook the low pay and fierce competition, you can live and work in a completely different culture while making a major impact in others’ lives.

>> Check out Transitions Abroad, a great site where you can find information about Au Pairning, the Peace Corps, and working for an NGO, amongst many other opportunities.

While we would all love to just up and quit our jobs, hop on a plane, and travel for an extended period of time, the reality of the situation for many is that it’s just not possible.  Work and money constraints keep too many people from seeing the world, but it doesn’t have to be this way.  If handing in your two week’s notice with no future job opportunity in sight is just not in the cards for you, then consider one of the jobs or careers above.  They all give you the opportunity to see the world while still putting some money in your pocket.

The post Earn While You Tour The World: Top 12 Jobs That Best Combine Travel And Work appeared first on TESOLS.

Most foreigners feel Teaching English language overseas is an option to earning a living abroad. if this is your thought, you may choose to go in search of how best to live oversea with English teaching on google. In order for you to really earn a living teaching English, you must first get yourself acquainted with the various English programs, courses, recruiters and requirements needed for you to teach English in each case.  The many available English programs such as ESL, TEFL, EFL, TESOL, CELTA, etc for foreigners have varying and unique requirements.  This raise confusing question like:

• Are there differences between CELTA, TESOL and TEFL?
• Should I take CELTA Instead of TEFL or ESL course to be eligible for jobs?
• What kind of certification is required for me to teach English language?

Well your questions are normal and common for persons who want to learn about teaching English as option to earn a living overseas. TEFL academy counselors get these kinds of questions frequently and have provided quick and easy to understand explanations to help you with your choice.

First, let’s begin from the basics:

A grip on the core terminology of an English program goes a long way. Using the right terms for your search can help you get the core and cut of unnecessary complicating jargons. So, here are list of acronyms that are frequently used to guide your search for English course teaching choice abroad. Use these acronyms to find that fantastic opportunities that you seek.

1. ESL - English as a second language
   

ESL means English as a second language. ESL is English learning/teaching in a country that English language is used as the official language. People who will go for ESL are recent immigrants and foreign exchange study students who have to learn English to be able to communicate. To such people, English is a second language, and it is different from the official language of country where they came from.

2. EFL - English as a foreign language
   

EFL on the other hand, is English education taken in countries where English is NOT the official language. Students who go for EFL are student who want to learn a foreign language from their own countries. They daily speak their countries official language and encounter English only in the classroom.

3. TEFL – Teaching English as a Foreign Language

TEFL is the popular acronym used for English teaching overseas. Anyone who wants to earn a living from teaching English language overseas would need a “TEFL certification”. TEFL certification is the basic certification that all aspiring English teachers are required to have before applying to teach English in any language school overseas.
Please note this! “TEFL” is not a name for any single company, body, certification, or institution.  Rather, TEFL is an acronym. There are numerous TEFL schools, training programs, and TEFL certification options of degrees. The quality of TEFL degree, duration of study also varies. More needs to be known about choosing a TEFL course or school, check here for 7 things you need to check before choosing a TEFL/TESOL Training School

4. TESOL – Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages

TESOL is like TEFL. TESOL is also a kind of certification that English teacher aspirants need to have before they can put forth employment application to language schools. These two acronyms can be used and are used interchangeably. TESOL typically refers to English teaching to none-native speakers particularly. Being TESOL certified has great benefits in North America. TESOL is commonly used in North America that TEFL when referring to English teaching to foreigners whose native language is not English but are residing in English speaking countries like U.S.

Therefore, if you need a master degree to teach English language in local schools as second language level, TESOL will be a best option of certification to go for. TESOL the domestic English teaching certification common in Australian, Canadian and British English training centers because these countries government has selected TESOL to be used. Unlike in US and Europe, there is no regulated domestic approval on any kind of English teaching certification. So TEFL or TESOL is accepted, but TEFL is most commonly use.

5. CELTA - Certificate in English Language Teaching to AdultsCELTA is a special aspect in TEFL certification. CELTA is a compressed TEFL training for adult who want to have English language teaching certification.University of Cambridge’s “non-profit assessment organization” and Cambridge English Assessment awards CELTA certification.

CELTA is a short term course of about 4 weeks, which entails intense 120hours TEFL certification training. CELTA providers sometimes give job placement to CELTA certified adults, but note that this job placement is not a must; not very CELTA certified adults are given job offer.

Although I read that having CELTA is important - is this true?

If you have being to ESL site for jobs search, you could have probably seen CELTA/Trinity as a required condition or its equivalent in some schools. When you read CELTA in the stated condition, it does not necessarily mean it is the only required certification, unless when spelt out as the only one the applicants must present. For example, Trinity besides CELTA is a known brand and can be alternative to CELTA. Trinity certification can be obtained from Trinity University in Ireland.

Or maybe you have read in forums or blog articles, or someone mentioned it to you that CELTA is what you need or should have? Well, bluntly speaking, saying that is misleading or misinforming you. It’s like saying you can only get a recognized degree from one particular named college or university. What you actually need is a brand of TEFL certification and there are thousands of them out there. CELTA is just one of them.

Some people on forums only say things that they think is true or is the fact without in-depth research or verifications of their believed notions. Some persons who say CELTA is a must have, may have obtained CELTA and want to show off and make you feel that they have the best and required certification. Just like people who attended good universities like to pose and boast, saying “we are the number 1”!

Also, do not allow bloggers who say “This particular TEFL certification is the best”, to deceive you. Any recognized TEFL-certification brand is worth it. None is higher than the other. Rather your attention should be on how credible and experienced is the school you need to obtain your brand of TEFL certification.

At International TEFL School, we certify about 3000 students or more in a year. These students complete an accredited TEFL that is not particularly CELTA. However, we do offer CELTA classes in Hawaii. Most of our graduates worldwide have obtained lucratively overseas English teaching jobs with our various TEFL certifications in over 80 countries.

Therefore, to say CELTA is the TEFL-certification you should have overseas an English teaching jobs is a false!

CELTA is a widely respected and recognized kind of TEFL certification. But there are some reasons why it possibly will not be the right TEFL for you. As can be obviously seen from the full name, CELTA is exclusively an adult kind of TEFL training. Since only adults can go for CELTA, this implies that CELTA will soon fading away and will become less relevant with time. Lucrative English language job markets overseas may not need CELTA anymore, especially in locations where youths are larger in number compared to adults, as it is in Asia.

A lot of CELTA providers depend majorly on previously attained reputations to serve prospective teachers. Most of these CELTA providers do not give job placement or guidance job search services to those who have just completed the CELTA training. Some only offer local job appointment to assist selected few CELTA grandaunt. It means that, if your CELTA training is in Japan and you want to use your certification for English teaching in Germany, you may not be lucky to get the right guidance for your English job search in your new location. This is because CELTA job assistance is local and not worldwide.

Therefore, you should ask yourself this, “Do I actually want to find my way into the international English teaching job market alone, without a proper guide to success?” if you do not want to do be on your own out there, then, a  CELTA providers that does not offer widespread job assistance is surely not for you.

So What Kind of Certification Should You Go For?

After getting acquainted with English certifications and terminologies, the next natural question most people do ask is “So What Kind of Certification Should You Go For”? is it  Trinity, TEFL, CELTA or TESOL?

The basic acronym on your English certification is not important! You can go for Trinity, TEFL, CELTA or TESOL, but be sure that the particular course you take under any of these named acronyms for English certification is such that meets the international standards. You can compare your chosen course with the course standard set by leading international bodies like the world known British Council. A standard certification course should have:

• Not less than 100 hours of coursework and training (this is equal to a 4week, full time serious or compressed course),

• Not less than 6 hours teaching-practice with real ESL students (not- acting students).

• The course should be taught by university lecturers that are experienced with at least MA in Linguistics, Teaching English as ea foreign language”, or a lecturer with CELTA or broad professional experience in English language teaching and training.

• The course should make use of accredited curriculum that is externally scrutinized by credible independent organization in English and language teaching field.

Please Note! The price of a TEFL course brand should not be a reason why you change your mind about going the course, because out there, are so many cheap TEFL courses that are far less than the set standards. It is even better to have no English certification training than to go for near to zero standard types, unless you really do not need the certification for English teaching purposes. However, if you wish to use your TEFL certification for teaching lucrative and international teaching jobs, then it is best for you to go for worldwide accredited and recognized  TEFL-certification course of great competitive standards.

Also, ensure to take your TEFL from schools that give complete and widespread job-search help that opens you up to job opportunities, recruiters, and immediate interviews or work. Some schools will has easy visas application guide included in their job search service offers.

 Job placement help and search supervision is an important factor in deciding the exact TEFL course to do

Few Tips for Choosing a TEFL Course

TEFL, CELTA and TESOL and other English certifications can be offered factually in hundreds of schools with different price tags for each course. The general price ranges are between $200 –to- $4,000. Here are few tips that you can use to easily know the proper certification to go for that will worth every penny spent.

• Pick a school that offer internationally accredited courses and can assist you in job search by dedicated staff when you complete the training and have obtained your certification
• Jot down the points about all a good school for TEFL certification should have as read from your search, then put a call through to your chosen school and inquire about all the points that you have jotted down, note the short falls as you call the each of the schools on your list of schools. This will guide you to your proper choice of school. Also add enquiries about visas, job markets available, and hiring seasons to your list of questions to ask each school representatives.
• When any school representative does not show confidence or stammers about the provided answers to your questions, do not trust such school. A good TEFL training school already knows the required standards and should confidently tell prospective about available guidance services that they offer in addition to TEFL certification training for overseas English teaching.
• It is best to Talk With an International TEFL School Representative or  Advisor for detailed realistic and straightforward answers oversea teaching and TEFL certification.
