English as a second language?

In terms of pay, the Middle East usually has the highest salaries although they also usually have the highest requirements for their teachers. You will probably need an advanced degree like a Masters or at least several years teaching experience. If you have a bachelor's degree, you can look for good opportunities in Japan, South Korea, or Taiwan, where the salaries for beginning teachers start between $2,000-2,500. Keep in mind that this is for only 25 teaching hours a week.

ESL is a federal program that has been a failure from day one! No child should sit in ESL classes for more than 2 years and some sit in them for 10-12. There was a pilot program, english immersion. It failed because it worked. Typical government waste.

Jobs in the Middle East usually pay the best. But they expect high qualifications and experience in return.
