Looking to make a difference while living abroad?
WorldTeach provides opportunities for individuals who want to make a meaningful contribution to international education by living and working as volunteer teachers in developing countries. Teaching opportunities are available for:

• A full year in American Samoa, Bangladesh, Chile, China Hunan, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guyana, India, Marshall Islands, Micronesia (Islands of Pohnpei, Kosrae and Chuuk), Namibia, Tanzania, Thailand and Vietnam.

• A semester in Chile, Namibia, Panama and Tanzania.

Most volunteers teach English as full-time employees; however, in some countries, subjects may include math, science, computer skills and HIV/AIDS awareness. In addition to teaching responsibilities, volunteers will have a role in the community and an opportunity to learn about the local culture and contribute to community life and development. Program fees range from free on up to $5,990, and include housing with a private room and meals (generally with a local host family), a small living stipend, round-trip international airfare, health insurance, training, a teaching position and field support. Volunteers can be recent college graduates, current college students (for summer programs), working professionals, teachers on sabbatical, couples, retirees, or anyone else who is committed to international service and education.

As one of the oldest TEFL training centers in Prague, The Language House TEFL has been successfully administering TEFL certificate courses since 2004 and have graduated close to 1,000 students. What makes TLH different is simple: they offer more training, more teaching practice, more hands on support and more post-course support than most other courses do worldwide. Getting TEFL certified in Prague doesn’t mean you have to stay in the Czech Republic. Gradates are teaching all over the world in dozens of different countries and locations. TLH cooperates closely with many recruiters and international teaching organizations that hire graduates directly. Jobs can range from high paid positions in South Korea to living wages in almost any non-English speaking country on Earth. Some teachers prefer to spend all of their time in one country while others like to travel every 6 months or so to different continents and countries to teach. Both realities are possible and their TEFL qualification and network will allow you to do so.

If you have a college diploma, a fluent or native level of English and an interest in seeing the world, then you probably qualify. Bring a thirst for new cultures and an openness to new experiences! Visit TheLanguageHouse.net to explore dates/prices and to apply online; they'll follow-up with an interview by phone or Skype.

• What really makes The Language House stand out from the rest is their sense of community — the true reason for success over the years. The staff keeps in touch with their graduates and it is common once the course is over for participants to network with other graduates in the city and worldwide. Meet hundreds of graduates »
