Re: ESL Abroad

If you just passed the Praxis it might be harder to get an ESL
job abroad-- but then again US teaching certification could
be an acceptable substitute.

1) Look at jobs you might want (try www.eslcafe.com) and ask
them if they'd at least consider you.

2) If your goal is to just go to a country for 6 months, you
might want to get the TEFL anyway.. many jobs require it, and
it can be done online pretty quickly these days.

3) If you want a long term abroad job, know that with US
certification you can likely get a high school English
teaching job.. that is far preferable to an institute (unless
you only want a 6 month commitment). But having the TEFL can't
hurt, especially in this global recession.
