When you’re\u00a0thinking about teaching English abroad,\u00a0selecting\u00a0your top teaching destinations can be an unexpected challenge. If you have the travel bug, the desire to explore and see the world can outweigh the\u00a0desire to see a specific country. Some people already know\u00a0where they want to go, but for these soon-to-be world explorers, choosing a first teaching destination often comes down to where the ESL teaching jobs are. With this in mind, here is a quick glance at where our grads find their first ESL teaching jobs, whether through our Job Placement Service<\/a>, or on their own.<\/p>\n

Easily the biggest ESL teaching market in the world, Asia is a popular destination for both new and experienced ESL teachers and travelers. The variety of English teaching positions available and the\u00a0even wider variety of countries to explore make it a great location for teachers who want to focus on building their resume, as well as teachers who want to travel and see the world. With so many different countries and cultures in such close proximity, it is possible to work full time and travel both inside and outside your destination country during the weekends and on your time off.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0abundance of teaching positions in\u00a0large ESL markets like China, South Korea, and Japan make Asia a particularly great career starting point for many first-time teachers, as many positions do not require teaching experience. Depending on your destination country and teaching contract, the cost of living can also be very low, allowing you to save money for travel and entertainment, or pay off loans and other expenses.<\/p>\n
