Globalization and the increasing demand for English speaking professionals all over the world, especially in emerging regions, has brought about a new, steadily growing sector: English as a Second Language (ESL). An ESL teacher is, therefore, an educator who works with English Language Learners (ELLs) whose native language is not English. The goal of the ESL teacher is to help the students reach a certain level of fluency in English, on both a spoken and written level. ESL educators are not to be confused with foreign language teachers. ESL teachers do not share the same native language and are specifically trained to offer explanations and directed teaching methods to non-English speakers.

TEFL (Teach English as a Foreign Language) and TESL (Teach English as a Second Language) certification programs are both designed to prepare individuals to teach English to non-native speakers, but there are key differences between the two.

TEFL programs are typically geared towards individuals who plan to teach English in countries where English is not the primary language, such as in South Korea or Brazil. On the other hand, TESL programs are designed for those who intend to teach English to non-native speakers in English-speaking countries, like the United States or Canada. In terms of curriculum, TEFL programs often focus on teaching English language skills in a context where English is...  [Read more]

How much you can expect to earn teaching English in Latin America will vary depending on the country you choose, your specific location within that country, and the individual employer.

The average salary is considerably less than you will find in other more lucrative regions such as Asia and the Middle East, at around $600 to $1,000 per month. Your earning potential will increase considerably if you have a degree, TEFL...  [Read more]

Although these two acronyms are regularly used interchangeably within the teaching world, there are technical differences between the two.
