A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Asia
Prepare to Teach Abroad
Set goals
You will be in a new environment surrounded by new people and cultures. It will be a handful, so you must set goals to keep you on track. Here are some ideas:
- Although you’re going there to teach, it’s also a chance to learn. Whether it’s a new skill, teaching method, or about yourself, the key is to be open to learning as much as you’re eager to teach.
- Asia is rich in culture and history. Use your time there to explore and experience the local environment.
- Connect with your peers and students. Building relationships can make your stay more meaningful and rewarding.
Understand the benefits
As you help students learn English and pave the way for opportunities for them, you also benefit from taking this path:
- Travel while teaching. Teaching in a new country gives you the chance to explore historical sites and enjoy the beauty of a different place. Combining travel with teaching is an exciting and fulfilling experience.
- Impact students' lives. There’s immense satisfaction in watching your students learn and grow. Knowing you’ve positively influenced someone’s life is incredibly rewarding.
- Enhance your resume. As an English teacher, working with students from different nationalities is a big plus. It shows you’re adaptable and flexible, making you more appealing to employers.
Choose a Location
Asia has a high demand for English teachers due to its diverse range of native languages. With many countries to choose from, here are some popular options to consider:
Thailand
Thailand is known for its flexible lifestyle and diverse teaching environments. It offers opportunities to gain additional certifications while teaching. Its relaxed living conditions and vibrant culture attract foreigners.
South Korea
South Korea pays some of the highest salaries for English teachers and often includes housing as part of the contract. Teaching schedules are typically more predictable, and the country is recognized for its competitive pay and welcoming atmosphere.
Japan
Japan offers high salaries for teachers but comes with a higher cost of living. The country is known for its structured teaching environment and reliable schedules, making it a solid choice for those looking for stability and a well-regarded teaching experience.
Vietnam
Vietnam has seen a surge in opportunities for English teachers, particularly in urban areas. The country offers a dynamic environment for teaching young students and adults, reflecting its rapid development and growing demand for English education.
China
China offers many benefits, including low living costs and the possibility of additional tutoring opportunities with private families and businesses. While salaries are standard and the visa process can be complex, respect for teachers and ample vacation time can make it an attractive option.
Getting Started
Preparing to teach in Asia can feel overwhelming, juggling many tasks. To cut through the noise, here are simplified steps to guide you:
1. Get matched
Start by using the Online Advisor to explore teaching English programs in Asia that align with your preferences. It’s a great tool for helping you narrow down the best options.
2. Choose a program
With all the programs available, use MyGoAbroad to compare options and find one that fits you perfectly. This platform helps you easily evaluate your choices and select the best program that matches your needs.
3. Decide when to go
Timing your move can make a big difference in how smoothly everything goes. For some pointers, here’s a quick read:
- Summer. Opportunities may be less traditional but still available. It’s a good time for shorter-term positions or summer camps.
- Fall. This is a prime hiring season in many Asian countries, making it a great time to apply and start your placement.
- Winter. Although less busy than fall, winter offers some opportunities, especially for short-term positions or mid-year starts.
- Spring. Another main hiring season, spring is ideal for applying and preparing for positions starting in the summer or fall.
4. Funding & scholarships
Wondering how to cut program costs? Our scholarships and deals application can help. It's worth seeing what’s available—you might find some valuable support to ease the financial load.
5. Apply
Prepare all the necessary information for your application and submit it by clicking “Apply Now.” Or click “Inquire Here,” and a program coordinator will reach out to guide you through the process and next steps.
6. Get your essentials
Have all the essentials in check: get your visa and passport sorted, book your flights, arrange transportation, secure travel insurance, and organize your accommodation. With these bases covered, you’ll be ready for your teaching adventure in Asia!
