About Teaching in Thailand

Given the status of English as the lingua franca for global business, the demand for English teachers in countries where it is not the primary language is expectedly on the rise. For people who intend to teach English overseas, doing so in Thailand can be an exciting and rewarding experience. According to some job market analysts, Thailand offers many opportunities for teachers of English as a second language (ESL). Benefits and availability are very attractive in Thailand especially for adventurous educators who are open to being immersed in different cultural environments. As such, Thailand schools have an openings for the enterprising English language educator.

In Thailand, the learning of English is a mandatory subject in Thai public schools. This is because in addition to global commerce, English has also become the default language of the Internet, of science and technology, and even of the entertainment industry. The current dominance of English as a global language has prompted the Thai Ministry of Education to enact proactive policies that will adequately equip Thai students with the communicative tools required for global interaction.
