29 Nov 09 Wanting To Escape Out Of The Freezing Weather? Think About Teaching Jobs Abroad
With high levels of wind, rain and flooding, the UK in autumn and winter can be a miserable place to live. It is possible to move out of the UK during this cold season, especially if you have reached retirement age. If you still rely on a monthly pay check but would prefer to be sunning yourself rather than removing snow from your shoes, then teaching jobs abroad might be for you.
Whilst you do not need to be trained as a qualified teacher at a school in the UK, you do need to take a TEFL course in order to be able to work in foreign schools teaching English to speakers of other languages. EFL training and other courses can be taken part-time or through distance learning, making it easier to work whilst you learn. carrying out your course in the summer means that as soon as winter arrives, you are ready to jet off and become a TEFL teacher.
For those people who do not work in a permanent full-time contract, you can find yourself in exotic countries for half of the year. China, South America, Japan, Africa and Asia all have opportunities for British natives to travel there to teach English as a foreign language.
Whilst flights are not always included in your contract, you can find jobs that include accommodation or give you discounted accommodation, your hours of work are less than average and the cost of living is lower than the UK.
Think about teaching small children in Thailand before finishing work in the early afternoon, taking a walk down to the golden beaches and dipping your feet in the crystal clear sea whilst your colleagues back home are wading through mushy leaves and slush. How Perfect!
