GoAbroad's Inside Scoop

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, the job market for US citizens in England isn&rsquo;t very promising. Schools are more likely to hire teachers from the UK because they don&rsquo;t require a visa to work in England. Additionally, British teachers are in higher demand because schools want teachers to have an extensive knowledge and background of British English as opposed to American English. American teachers who do manage to get a job in England, however, will learn that English teachers are in high demand as many foreigners travel to England to improve and practice the language.
When participating in a TEFL certificate program abroad, program fees usually include accommodation, which often consists of apartments shared with other program participants. Some programs also offer homestays. TEFL programs may offer housing assistance, providing participants with resources to help them find accommodation either while or after becoming TEFL certified. Accommodation for ESL teachers may be available in a room in a private residence, an apartment, or a flat in England.
Those who choose to complete TEFL courses in England will realize that it&rsquo;s a great place to become certified, as it is a native speaking country with plenty of highly trained and qualified instructors.
