"I plan to teach in different countries in Asia. I believe it is the best way to
get to know the country, its people and culture. I am hoping the course will
provide me with some useful tips and hints on doing that and give me ideas on
how to structure, plan and conduct classes for students of different age groups
and level of English.
Great country, thoroughly involved and hope it will open up new windows of
opportunities for me." Alena Huberova
"I chose to take up this project as I wanted some training in Teaching. I
already have a teacher’s degree from India but was not able to take up a formal
training. Moreover, I will be staying in Thailand for three years. So taking up
this course might help me in getting a teaching job in Thailand.
It was a great experience, especially going to the classrooms and teaching. It
gave us all the experience of real teaching and the issues connected to
teaching. The feedbacks form peers and the lessons helped us a lot to improve
our own style." Shalini Menon
"I enjoy traveling and gaining new experiences. I have many teachers in my
family who love the profession. My uncle taught in Japan and had a wonderful
experience. I currency have a friend teaching near Seoul who encouraged me to
teach in Korea. I have always wanted to teach young children." Lacy Calais
"I decided to do this project because I wanted to not only travel but do
something for someone besides myself. I just graduated so I decided now was the
best time to do this. I am excited to learn to teach. English is such a useful
language, and I’m excited to share it!" Andie Vaughn

preferably in India and in Kolkata. I research ATI on the internet and only
found positive comments about it. It was also more affordable than some other
courses.

and useful. The trainers were good and were available questions" Brain Meehan,

The world wide rise in popularity of English language has augmented it to the status of Lingua Franca, with a steady increase in the demand for teachers of English as a second language. The demand is reasonably high in the Asia, South African, South American and some European countries, where English is not commonly used. Among Asian countries, Thailand is a major center for ESL teachers. Bangkok the capital is an important base for ESL job. There are many recruiting agencies in this city, which employ teachers almost the year round. ESL assignments in Bangkok are not restricted to the regular schools; there are opportunities in the corporate sector as well as in the language institutes who require teachers for training adults.
The teachers in Thailand are well remunerated and prospects for teachers with
experience and high academic qualification is even better. Add on benefits like
free accommodation, some amount of medical insurance and flight charges are
provided to the teachers. Besides working as teachers in schools or institutes,
the ESL teachers in Bangkok can make good money by private tutoring.
The TESOL course of American TESOL Institute arms the teachers with whatever
training necessary for becoming an accomplished ESL teacher. The course is a
