Indonesian Schools for TEFL Teachers

Schools in Indonesia, Types of Indonesian Schools where ESL teachers can teach.

Although English is one of the official languages of Indonesia, the Indonesian people speak very little English. The upper class or middle class section of the society are privy to learning the language as learning English properly is very expensive. Although the government has made English a part of their curriculum, the poorer section hardly know any English. A few words are all that the tourists can expect from them.

Recently the demand for English teachers has greatly increased in Indonesia due to the incentive taken by the government. The schools from all over the country are opening up additional posts for English teachers as they want to give their students the very best education. There are also a number of language schools in Indonesia focusing solely on teaching English to the students. A large number of TEFL teachers are hired in such institutions. Some even offer up to three year contracts with return flights paid.

The schools in Indonesia are very much hung up on certificates and prefer teachers who are equipped with a TEFL certificate. It is highly unlike to get a job in Indonesia with a professional degree as the institutes put much faith in excellence and experience. There are also a number of small schools which take in teachers without a certificate. However it is always easy to get a job when you have a certificate to show. The packages offered by the schools are very attractive and are always up a notch when it comes to TEFL teachers. Although jobs can be found all over the country also there is a concentration of work around the Java Island, especially in Jakarta and Bogor.
