Everyone wants to learn English!  And you already know it!

An excellent way to improve dramatically your knowledge of the language and culture of another country is to spend some time in that country teaching English. You learn a lot, and make a terrific addition for your résumé at the same time.  How can you find out about such opportunities?  One resource is a book available in our Foreign Language Department Careers Library:

Griffith, Susan.  Teaching English Abroad.  Vacation Work (Peterson's Guides): Oxford, 1999.  How to find long-term and short-term English teaching jobs for those with and without previous teacher training.  Accounts from experienced teachers about how to make the most of your experience and avoid the pitfalls.  Where to go for the best opportunities.  Opportunities in France, Germany, Italy, Spain as well as many other countries.  A country-by-country look at potential employers, teaching requirements, working conditions, housing.  More than 200 training courses that can help prepare you for teaching abroad.
