Indian Teachers Abroad English Teaching Jobs India and ESL Jobs India
Indians have a historical
affinity for English. It is not simply because of a colonial past.
English is the language that the educated, multi lingual Indians
prefer to use when interacting with fellow Indians hailing from
another part of the vast country. English is the official language for
education, law and commerce. It also happens to be the language
patronized by the elite of India.
The demands of English teachers are very high and new graduates with
good flair of English language can try their hands at ESL teaching.
After doing the TESOL course, the teachers can get experienced by
opting for internship in India. This valid ESL experience will
increase the chance of the students to get hired as ESL teachers in
various countries.
Most Indians equate English language with better education and higher
intellect. Indians who know English often blend it with Indian
languages in their conversations. Among the educated Indians it is
quite common to break into fluent English while in conversation with a
colleague or a friend or even a stranger. A major percentage of the
educated Indians can understand and follow the basics of English and
there is a strong desire among most Indian parents to provide that
“English edge” to their children. It’s a common adage in India that
–“if you know your math and English, your job prospects are simply
brilliant.”
In the field of higher education, English reigns as the premier
language. Careers in business and commerce, government positions of
high rank and science and technology, which attract some of the
brightest minds, continue to entail fluency in English. It is also
necessary for the many students who contemplate study overseas to be
good at English. Thus most Indians are exposed to English language
from early life. They pick it up rather well. Some even have near
native proficiency in English. Indians also make good English
teachers.
Indians can be good English teachers since they empathize with the
hurdles of learning English as a second language and also are adept at
overcoming the obstacles in the path of mastering English. They are
sensitive to the learner’s needs and are ever ready to help learners
in overcoming those seemingly impossible obstacles. Indians tend to be
patient and diligent by nature and have the makings of a good teacher.
Indians have a good career as teachers overseas. However, mostly
experienced teachers have better chance of getting a job. In India,
English is taught from school level and most of highly educated people
have native like proficiency in English. The ever rising demand for
English teachers in various countries of the world has led many
Indians to select a career in this field. The most important criterion
for teaching English abroad is an accredited TEFL certificate.
The Indian English teachers have good job opportunities in countries
in the Middle East, China, Thailand and some European countries. In
Middle East, the teachers are paid very high remuneration and are
given many other facilities. Many Indian teachers are holding top
positions in many institutes located outside the country today. As the
value of Indian currency is low than most of the countries, the
teachers can save enough and send back home a huge amount. Apart from
earning huge amount of money the Indian English teachers working in
various locations will also be able to see and travel in foreign
countries.
