Governments of English-speaking countries in Teaching English
The British Council is the British government's educational and cultural department. Among other things, they are the largest English teaching organisation in the world, running
schools in many places.
The Council also handle recruiting for various foreign governments' English programs. Say
Elbonia needs a few dozen teachers; the Council will advertise, collect resumes, and produce a short list
of candidates. For the actual interviews, senior Elbonian staff can fly to London and use Council
facilities to interview, or the Council can handle the interviews too. For many of these jobs,
the Council also provides some guarantees for teachers; if a corrupt
school official steals your pay or you need to bail out because of a revolution in Elbonia, you have some
recourse.
Council jobs can be searched
on their web site or look for ads in the Guardian and the Times Education Supplement
or Higher Ed. Supplement. Some, but by no means all, of their jobs are restricted
to British citizens. Most interviews are in London. British Council schools may also
hire locally wherever they are, but these jobs usually do not have benefits like airfare
and housing that the London-hired ones do.
The US State Department also has an English teaching program . Another program , paid for by government and run by Georgetown university, sends teacher trainers and other experts abroad; it requires a masters degree and US citizenship.
