Adorned by the Himalayas and bordered by the People’s
Republic of China, Nepal is the 93 rd largest country in the world having a rich
cultural heritage and geographical landmass. Although it is the birthplace of
Buddha, the majorities of the Nepalese people are practicing Hindus and was up
until May 2008 a monarchy. Rama Barn Yadav is the first president of the federal
democratic republic nation of Nepal.
With the turn of the 21st century, globalization has become a reality spreading
its wings even to the remotest part of the world. English being the
internationally recognized language has become the sole medium of international
interaction. English is thus a significant language in Nepal, which is used both
in government activities as well as in daily life. Hence, the demand for
teachers in Nepal is exceptionally high when it comes to learning English.
Teachers having an internally recognized TEFL certificate are always high on the
ladder and they bag the best available packages. Teaching in Nepal is highly
rewarding not only on the financial front but also academically.
The American TESOL institute conducts their course at Kathmandu. The three-week
stay will cover all the teaching essentials and students can also look for
placement opportunities for themselves with the help of the institute staff who
are more than willing to help. The students take up jobs at various school and
institutes across the country. Since English teachers are in high demand one can
easily find a job, which will be enough for maintaining a comfortable living.
