Malta - There's lot of interest in Malta to learn English as its an official language though native language is Maltese. Lot of foreigners come to Malta to learn English language as its a much cheaper country than UK, Germany, France and its part of EU.

Malta culture is something a mix of traditional European and modern. People are very friendly. Its a small country with good public transport system. Pay is in Euro and its quite good for worthy English language teachers. Just do a google on languages in Malta and you will see the opportunities!

Yeah- America.

The best pay, according to friends that teach, is outside Europe (especially east Asia).

Companies like JET in Japan often pay housing and travel in addition to a decent salary:

Within Europe, you'll have to seek out and apply for most jobs yourself, and cover your own travel/housing/expenses. The pay tends to be not very good, and many countries desire teachers that speak the native language as well which can make finding work more difficult.

There are lots of opportunties in Korea - would be a great cultural experience too.

Or if Asia is not appealing - try anywhere in central or south america.

Don't think your masters degree will help with pay! But a TEFL will.

Having a MS in English is good, but you will need some additional certificates in teaching english as a second language, before you will get hired. You have mentioned the CELTA it is a good start. I would pick up a DELTA as well. Then you would not have to do any trial teaching on your dime to get a job overseas.

Currently, because if the world wide economic situation you might have some additional troubles getting a job teach overseas. But all in all, China, Korea, and Singapore are you best bets to find a good paying job with alot of experiences.

Personally, I worked in Russia and the Ukraine for 4 years and found it fun and exciting.

Any place where you can get a job!

It's kinda difficult these days.

Good luck! Try searching online for organizations that do placement, then make sure you check them out to be sure they aren't scammers.

One such company...I can vouch for their quality, is CIEE.

Have fun!

Teaching in Russia (Moscow) would be a good option.

Celta/Tefl will certainly increase your chances of gaining employment.

wITH A DEGREE YOU CAN GO ANYWHERE. wITHOUT A celtA/tefL THOUGH YOU WILL LACK TEACHING ABILITY AND NOT SUCEED. The country that is best is one you would love to travel in. You will have so much free time you see. With a degree in English you can pick your job. You can be an amazing teacher. I have been in China two years teaching at a University. I turned down twenty offers. All were poor re conditions. Make the job suit you. For example initially I taught fifty students per class. Then I changed it. I made it fifteen per class. Big difference !

Hi there!
I have been teaching abroad for about 3 years now. So, I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents.

The first thing you will need to consider is if you have the qualifications to teach over seas - that means (at least) a BA degree + a TEFL certificate. Most schools will not accept any teachers that do not have both. I got my TEFL at TEFL Worldwide Prague. It was a 4 week program and it really helped me as a teacher and as someone looking for work!

As for where? Well, I can recommend Prague first and foremost. You will have no problem finding work here (once you have a TEFL) and it's an amazing country. There is lots to see and do here, not to mention a great jumping off point for travel. Also - most schools here help you out with the Visa process which is helpful. :) The money isn't the best, but the atmosphere makes up for it.

If you are interested in money - get your TEFL and head to So. Korea. That's where the money is! :)

I hope this was helpful...and good luck!

Why not try America or Canada or Australia, it should make teaching a lot easier! (sorry, couldn't resist!)
