Teach English and other subjects Teaching is a fantastic way to really immerse yourself in a different culture. Become a teacher and you’ll soon find yourself getting involved in the life of the local area, while really getting to know fellow-teachers, pupils and their families. Chances are you’ll learn way more than you teach and have a load of fun in the process. In this section we set out loads of opportunities to teach English - and other subjects - around the world. There are placements in countries as diverse as Ghana and Russia, in tiny village primary schools and big-city universities. As an English teacher, your role will be an important one. In many countries, a grasp of English is the key to a better life for kids. It could help them get a job, in the local tourist industry for instance, and lift their whole family out of poverty. In some countries, kids need to pass an exam in English to get into college or university - easier said than done if their school doesn’t have any English teachers. You might feel that you don’t have much to offer to these kids. You’re not a qualified teacher, you probably don’t speak the kids’ own language, and you may well be fresh out of school yourself. True, but this doesn’t mean you don’t have loads to give. Firstly, the fact that you’re a native English speaker is really valuable. In many schools, kids are taught English by teachers whose own knowledge of the language is limited. As a fluent English speaker you can fill in gaps in the kids’ knowledge, answer their questions and help them with pronunciation. Secondly, you’re teaching your pupils about life beyond their horizons. They’ll probably never be able to afford to go travelling themselves, but meeting someone from a totally different culture and learning about their life can have a similarly eye-opening effect. Finally, you’ll be helping to make education a fun and inspiring experience for your pupils. By introducing new fun exercises, songs, games and quizzes to the classroom, and generally being prepared to make a fool of yourself, you can bring a breath of fresh air to the school day.
