Any DU'ers ever taught ESL in another country? I went to a presentation

[raccoon]

about a program where you get a certificate, TOEFL I believe it was. After taking a 120-hr course for $1800.

I'm not planning to do it, but if I were out of a job I'd give it serious thought.

1. I've heard that you don't need a certificate to teach English in most countries.

If you have a bachelor's degree from a university where courses were taught in English, you're good. There are outfits trying to rip people off by charging them for expensive lessons in how to teach English.

2. One of the best experiences of my life

And I had no training before hand.

I'd highly recommend it. (the job, not necessarily the training, unless it is legit)

3. Same here.

Although I was training in a specialized field - oral surgery - in Cuba.
