i have applied for a TESOL course this september, inshallah i will get on but if not next year.

right, if you have an english teaching qualification you can go to most middling and all poor countries and work easily, taking a good income,

the usual deal is between 10-15k, but you have accomodation, transport, one or two flights to your home country a year all through in.

plus in the uk if you work outside the uk for more than 6 months then that income is tax free so doing such work is a good way to save quick.

unless you have a good degree as well forget thinking about working in the gulf unless you mean yemen.

the gulf countries demand a degree, english teaching qualification and often experience.

if you dont have the degree they'll want 5-10 years experience.

hope all that helps a bit, and maybe we'll end up teaching in the same english college one day in Sana or Karachi!

my wife knows a sister whose husband just wrote to every english language school in the middle east and ending up working in saudia, mind you, he did have previous teaching experience, if not in tesol /tefl.

Thats good news bro, I would prefer Saudi. I have experience over 10 yrs working and helping people with learning disability, much of this centred on education. Think I will give a try, if not Istanbul for 2 years then see what occurs.
