Working and Volunteering Abroad

Teaching English

Teaching English abroad allows you to gain professional experience while immersing yourself in a local culture. There are many opportunities for working as an English teacher, and they don’t all necessarily require previous teaching experience or fluency in country’s official language. These opportunities can also help you strengthen your networks within the country you are working in. Some government-sponsored programs include:

  • Chile: English Opens Doors 
  • France: Teaching Assistant Program in France 
  • Japan: Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Program
  • Korea:  English Program in Korea and Teach and Learn in Korea 
  • Spain: North American Language and Culture Assistants in Spain 
  • Various countries: Fulbright English Teaching Assistant Programs
