Teaching English as a second language being a non-native speaker
Hi,
Is it worth for non-natives like me to go for CELTA after completing graduation in English Honors. I am at presently teaching English in a high school and learning Spanish simultaneously. How much is the possibility for the non-natives to get a job as an ESL teacher as compared to the native speakers? I am more interested in teaching English in the Middle east. Can please anyone help me out here?

If you wish to teach in state schools, you normally need a state-recognised teaching certificate/licence, If you wish to teach in the university sector, you will probably need an MA in Applied Linguistics/TEFL. If you wish to teach in private language schools, then a TEFL certificate, preferably an internationally recognised one such as CELTA or the Trinity CertTESOL, will increase your chances of finding employment. In most countries, it is generally harder for a non-native speaker to find a TEFL job than for a native speaker.

- Indeed, many job advertisements specify that the applicant must hold a British, Irish, American, Canadian, Australian or New Zealand passport.
- Within the European Union, it is very difficult indeed to find employment if you are not an EU citizen, effectively restricting the native-speaker job market to British and Irish citizens.
