Posted by teacher on January 11, 2010

In India, there are ample job options for English teachers. Indians always had a penchant for English and now English is the ticket to a successful career. Whosoever wants to improve career prospects, feels the importance of being conversant in English. Parents want to provide their children with English education not because it is a status language but because it will provide them a head start in life. Consequently the need for qualified English teachers is clearly on the rise. Teachers are needed not only in the schools or universities but are also employed as trainers in corporate offices and language schools.

With the recent boom in the BPO industry, there is a high demand of voice and accent trainers in this country. Many companies also hire TESOL certified English teachers for teaching their employees soft skills. The reason behind India’s flourishing BPO industry is that India, is one of the few densely populated countries where the population can easily pick up the language as they are familiar with English owing to their colonial past. India has become a major outsourcing giant as she can provide cheap skilled English speaking employees needed to support such service industry. This has further increased the demand for English.

The positive points for teaching in India are:

*India is a beautiful country with variety of landscapes and culture. It takes a long time to explore this exotic land. So if the teachers work here as teachers they will have plenty of time in their hands to see this beautiful country and also at the same time earn enough to support themselves here.
*In India, the ESL teachers will be given 10 to 15 thousand rupees per month along with accommodation.
*The above-mentioned amount is enough to survive in India comfortably. They can also go for holidays in the weekends after saving from the salary.
