Thailand
Thailand
Teaching positions in Thailand are mostly available in public schools and ESL teachers must commit to a three-month contract, minimum. Half of the country’s population lives in rural areas and only 40 percent of Thai people use the internet. As a result, urban schools are more likely to have technology in the classrooms. The culture of Thailand is quite laid back and its landscape is brimming with exotic animals. Thai is a very difficult language to learn because of the complex character-based alphabet and diverse tones, but you will quickly learn essential phrases. Buddhism is prevalent in Thailand so take advantage of your proximity and learn more about this peaceful religion!

South Korea
South Korea
South Korea is an increasingly popular destination for ESL teachers due to its impressive salaries and benefits for foreigners. It’s a modern country so many schools are equipped with helpful technology like student computers and projectors. In fact, 90 percent of South Koreans use the internet and the country has the 11th highest GDP in the world. You must sign a contract for at least a year and teaching positions are mainly available in public schools. Because of its alternate alphabet, Korean can be a difficult language to learn. Although there are many Christians in the country, you can learn about Buddhism during your stay in South Korea.

Nicaragua
Nicaragua
Nicaragua is a relatively poor country so many ESL teachers work in underserved communities that lack modern technology. Teaching positions are available in the private sector, including language institutes, corporations, universities, etc. and while contracts are flexible, most teachers stay for at least five months. There’s a lower literacy rate in Nicaragua compared to many other countries, but a rich desire to learn English. The laid-back culture is rich in history. Nicaragua is a good choice for you if you want to be fluent in the local language because Spanish is relatively easy to learn.
