Languagecorps is an organization that gives individuals the opportunity to travel abroad and teach English. In order to quality for Languagecorps you must complete a TESOL language program that takes about four weeks. There are few different variations of the program, but they all provide you with the knowledge and requirements you will need to teach English overseas. China and Taiwan have their own individual programs because the demand for English is so high in those countries.

The opportunities for college grads are tremendous. A 4-year college degree is required, but as long as the required TESOL programs are taken, job placement and pay are almost guaranteed. Paid teaching positions are in high demand in all locations. Languagecorps allows individuals to travel to exotic places and experience different cultures. Housing is free and aside from teaching, you get to travel to different regions of the country to see the different sights and sounds. You can volunteer or take a paying job. The average salary is between $500-$1500 a month. The opportunities are endless, you can stay for different durations of time, and there are many countries available to travel to and teach.

Languagecorps is making an impact on globalization. They are bringing the English language to other parts of the world. Not only are they having an influence on other people, but it also gives the English teachers a chance to experience other cultures. Everyone will be affected by the experience in some way and walk away with something new.
