Turkey is a growing market for ESL teachers. There are both short term and long term English teaching jobs in Turkey. The schools, where the second language English teacher is mostly hired are in the major cities of Turkey. The teachers who aspire for a long time teaching career in Turkey have to get a residency and a work permit. With 90-days tourist Visa, the teachers can easily get a job for three months. If the ESL teachers have any prior intentions of doing long term teaching jobs in Turkey, they should get a work permit for themselves.

ESL teachers in Turkey are hired in schools, language schools, colleges and universities.
Teachers are not given very high salary like some Asian and European countries. Cost of living in Turkey is also quite low but the teachers will not be able to save much.

The growing Turkish middle class is very interested in learning English, especially from a native English speaker. ESL opportunities for native English speakers are huge. The ratio of ESL students in Turkey is much higher than the teachers.

Teaching degrees or degrees in English language are not very necessary for the native language speakers. However, a 120 hour TESOL is an added advantage for the teachers in getting recruited. Non native English speakers with good academic background and command over the language are also hired by many schools. Schools also give separate training to the teachers.

Apart from regular schools, there are many language schools in Turkey where adult students come to study English. The classes in these schools are mostly in the evening or in the weekends as most of the students are professionals.

The schools in Turkey mostly want the teachers to stay for a year. Thus, you can expect job contracts not less than a year in this country. The contracts of the teachers are not legal, unless they have a proper work permit.
