Teaching English abroad is an amazing way to see the world and experience all that it has to offer. Every year people take the plunge and go abroad for a year or more to live and work in different countries around the world. Some people take a gap year to teach abroad between high school and university or between university and joining the workforce. Others graduate or quit their jobs and move abroad without ever looking back.<\/p>\n

But what if you\u2019re still in school and can\u2019t go abroad for a full year? Or what if you want to test the waters before committing to teaching English in another country for a full year? If you\u2019re looking to try out teaching English abroad or do some traveling during the summer months or a semester off, a short-term English teaching contract of 1-5 months abroad could be your best option.<\/p>\n

Depending on your qualifications and the time of year, here are some possible places available through our Job Placement Service<\/a> where you could be teaching for part of the upcoming year:
