What's in demand?

Post by tellyrules »

Hello everyone!

I'm a relatively recent college grad and I've been looking into the international school scene. Since college, I have been teaching/tutoring language arts to English language learners. My latest stint has landed me in Korea and I've been thinking about getting certified.

I have really been interested in the Fast TRAIN program at George Mason and have been thinking about getting the ESL license through the program. After completing it successfully, I'd be licensed to teach in Virginia.

I know I would ultimately want to teach in Latin America. My BA is in the region, I speak Spanish and I'm currently studying Portuguese.

Anyway, I was wondering if that sort of license would be in demand in the region. Also, would it really be worth it financially to go in for the full master's degree, or would I be fine with just the certification? I ask because I already have debt from undergrad and I'm trying to limit my debt load.

Any advice would be great :)
