Plan to hire native English-speaking teachers in Thailand

The Office of Basic Education Commission (Obec) will seek a Bt350million budget to hire 300 native English-speaking teachers for its primary and secondary schools to tackle the shortage of English teachers, a senior official said yesterday.

According to the proposal, the native speakers would each get about Bt1 million per year - a salary of Bt83,000 per month - compared to the Bt9,000 per month drawn by Thais teaching English.

Who should attend TEFL Thailand

The on-site TEFL Course of American TESOL Institute is accessible to candidates who are interested.

Other than residents of countries like New Zealand, Australia, UK, South Africa, Canada and United States of America all other speakers of English are non native speakers and they too can do the TEFL course. Since the course is widely acclaimed and accredited it assures one of securing ESL jobs worldwide.

A native speaker has great demand as an English language teacher in non English speaking countries. All that the native speaker must possess are:

  • A TEFL certificate
  • A degree in any discipline from any accredited university
  • A valid passport 
  • A permit to work in foreign soil.
 
Non Native speakers who can communicate in English with ease and has near native proficiency can attend the certificate course. They can secure excellent teaching opportunities both in their own country and abroad.

A person who wishes for a mid-life career shift may opt for the TEFL course and enter the lucrative and adventurous ESL market.

Even teachers who are already in the profession will also benefit from doing the course. It will help them to hone their teaching skills further and concurrently help them seek teaching positions abroad, if they so wish.

Full time teachers will also find this TEFL certificate course that enables one to become more skilled in the art and technique of facilitating the learning of English language to be extremely beneficial. It will train them in a manner that will greatly upgrade their teaching style and benefit both the teachers and their students. If the teachers wish to teach in a different environment, a different set of students they must enroll for the course.
