Ikhtisar berbagai program

There are many different programs available to help people teach abroad. If someone knows that they want to teach abroad but they are not sure if they can make the transition, they can choose a teaching program that lasts from semester to several years. There are also programs where a person can exchange positions with a teacher abroad. When choosing a program make sure the program is credible. The three most commonly used paths for American teachers are teaching in Defense Department schools, teaching in international schools, or working independently in any school that accepts foreign applicants.

AS. Department of Defense

Teaching at a US Department of Defense school (DOD) is like teaching at a school in the United States. Schools enlisted children from DOD military and civil service. There are currently 222 public schools in "13 foreign countries, seven states, Guam, and Puerto Rico" (DOD). There are 8,785 teachers working in these schools. DOD works to keep the school atmosphere and level of learning comparable to US schools.

DOD only employs teachers with a bachelor's degree (which should include several courses in education) and teaching experience. Most placements are for one or two years; teachers are placed at the discretion of the Department of Defense and can not choose their location.

International volunteer program

Many volunteer programs exist where teachers can teach in foreign schools. The cost to participate as a volunteer varies depending on the organization, country and duration of the program. International volunteer programs typically vary in length from 2 to 12 months. Volunteers most often teach English but other subjects can also be discussed, such as computer skills, awareness of AIDS/HIV, science, mathematics, etc.

Voluntary English teaching programs exist in almost every corner of the world. Some of the countries with the leading English language teaching programs are Chile, Spain, France, and Georgia. Many programs are sponsored by the host country education ministries, such as the English Opening Door in Chile and the Korean EPIK program.

International school

International schools are private schools that serve mainly non-host children, including children from international business staff, international organizations, foreign embassies, missions, or missionary programs. Teachers are often hired on contracts typically the last two years Research has shown that overseas teaching experience positively contributes to the development of intercultural teachers (Savva, 2013).

TESOL certification

Many teaching positions abroad are for English teachers, and may involve teaching for all ages, including children and adults. Programs are organized by each school, national government (such as JET Program in Japan and English Door Opening in Chile). The University of Missouri-Saint Louis, like many schools, has been demanding their education major to choose TESOL or special education for more specific majors. The university specifically wants teachers to become better for future entrepreneurs. Some programs require TESOL teaching and/or certification credentials.

There are several disputes about the claimed utility of the short course (TEFL, TESOL, etc.) either in being an effective teacher or looking for a job. Such courses are sometimes advertised as important or even required, without stating that they are not a substitute for a university degree in teaching English as a foreign language.
