Join MIIS alumna, Saara Kamal, and her colleagues as they discuss TESOL Career Opportunities in China. *Includes short-term and long-term opportunities.

The opportunities for employment in teaching English to speakers of other languages are often much more numerous and more rewarding (in several respects) in international contexts than here in the United States. MA TESOL holders have different prospects than the informal English teaching abroad offered for BA holders through programs like JET, ELIC or TAPIF. Yet accepting a formal position overseas requires more preparation, as candidates may be unfamiliar with the specifics of each context’s educational system and employment culture.
