Teaching Abroad: How to

broaden your horizons in 2017

At the start of a new year we are

often bombarded with messages

about how we can change our

lives for the better.

Whether you have decided to stop

smoking, lose weight or reign in

your spending, the sad truth is that

only 8% of people actually succeed

in achieving their resolutions. But

there is no rule that says your New

Year’s resolution has to be

something unenjoyable.

If you’ve decided that you want to broaden your horizons

in 2017, then teaching abroad could be the ideal solution to

achieving this…

Experience Another Culture.When you travel to a country on holiday, you are limited by time restraints. But if you move aboard

for a longer period of time, you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in another culture

and experience a new way of life on a much deeper level than a tourist.

Making new friends, learning another country’s history and traditions and trying new foods are just

of the ways that experiencing a new culture can enrich you as an individual.

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry

and narrow-mindedness”

Mark Twain

Learn a New Language..

Salaries will vary depending on location and experience, but many

placements also offer additional benefits like accommodation or

transportation.

Future employers will also look favourably on your experience as it

demonstrates that your are adaptable and determined.

There is no better way to broaden your

mind than learning another language.

Learning another language gives you an

insight in to the way another country

constructs its ideas and will give you a

much greater understanding of its culture.

Studies have

shown that

learning another

language improves

brain functionality,

multitasking skills,

memory and

perception.

“To have another

language is to

possess a

second soul”Charlemagne

Earn Whilst You Travel.

Teaching abroad is one of the only opportunities that allows you to earn money whilst you travel, and getting the right qualifications has never been simpler. There are many TEFL courses online, so you can fit your studies around your schedule.

Personal Growth

Moving to a foreign country on your own takes confidence and determination. You will face difficulties at first, particularly if you do not speak the language, but if it will be an amazing learning experience.

You will not only acquire new skills, but you’ll learn more about the kind of person you are, and most importantly what you are capable of.
