"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
"I chose ATI because I wanted to take a 3 weeks TESOL course in another country,
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.
I enjoyed my experience in Kolkata and with ATI. The course was very relevant
and useful. The trainers were good and were available questions" Brain Meehan,

Why would anyone want to teach abroad? For the exciting new experience of course! And there’s always the opportunity to travel in the country where you are teaching or in the neighboring areas. It’s a great way to learn about another culture, about another community—their way of life, their customs and traditions, their festivals and their food habits. You get valuable work experience and a decent salary. Overall, it’s an unforgettable experience. That’s why ESL and EFL teaching jobs are in such great demand in many parts of the world.
Travel is the best educator. Not many people have the opportunity to move beyond their locality into a world that is markedly different and make a difference not only to your life but the lives of people who you teach. The EFL/ESL teaching job gives you this opportunity and the experience is more rewarding than any monetary gain. Being just a traveler passing through a place is vastly different from living in a unfamiliar community and imbibing their culture, tradition and ways of life and to top it all to be accepted as one of their own since teachers all over the world are treated with love and respect. The ESL job can offer you a break from the mundane, complacent and run of the mill everyday life to an exciting exploration of people, language, food and culture. You will help your students learn the skills of English while they in turn will enrich your life through this experience. Any travel abroad is expensive and most cannot afford it but being an English language teacher you earn enough to take care of your travel expences.
