Being an English language teacher, I now find my skill useless here in England

its too bad to hear that...hope you can find a job that suitable for you..goodluck

why don't you try to work here in the Philippines you can help improve our English.. or in Korea, they want to learn English! :)

There are lots of jobs for English Language teachers in England, Immigrants have to learn English to qualify to live here now. Foreign students come and stay in England too and need English teachers, keep looking you will find opportunities.

Wow ! Hello teacher.Since you're an english teacher,i would like advices from you..what are the tips to write well in english?I've been failing my English language quite often.Only at times i manage to have a just pass.Thank You =)

You are a English Language Teacher!I am glad to meet you. When did you go to Thailand? Are you an english grad? I hope you can still find job that fit your experience.

Hey Jemina. Maybe you can do the opposite: teaching then Englishmen Thai language. Or just like the other myloters said, you can teach those who go to UK not for a long time and need to catch up with their languages. I suppose there are always opportunity there. Just keep trying.

There are jobs available in England for your skills. It may depend on which particular area you are looking. In the Midlands, there are always positions open for ESOL teachers. You could have a look in your local JobCentre or search online for opportunities in your area or areas you might be able to move to. Good luck with your search.

I thought it might would came in handy. Then again they speak proper English there in England. I use to babysit for a lady that was born there in England years ago when I was a teenager. It was really interesting babysistting for her. Except instead of saying 2 p.m. theu say 2 ish or at least the lady I was babysitting for did. She use to teach piano lessons. She was very talented at it. I think she still teaches it but at a collage which is wonderful. My little sister took lessons from her and she was really good but quit once the lady that taught her told my sister that she was getting really talented and could be a teacher. I think my sister got scared because she was still in high school herself.

I think there are lots of available opportunities there, if you really do want to work. But yes, you're job description would surely fall short because you're already in a place where English is spoken fluently (if not, well-practiced). There could be some work that can be related to your preference, just give it some time and you'll get what you'd seek for..

Living in the UK myself I find it hard to understand why your skills are not being used. Many schools are crying out for teachers. Is it due to this country not recognising your qualification?? There are many adult learning centres that teach English, have you tried applying for a job like this. When I did my B.ED many of the students were from other countries. They were all qualified teachers but had to gain a UK degree to continue to teach here. Have you thought of going back to school as it would be a shame to end your career in teaching and end up in a more menial job. I wish you luck.

You should check with the government about getting a job teaching english to the new emigrants arriving in England. They are usually night classes... but they must need teachers to do that.

I thought there were lots of immigrants in England. Wouldn't they need ESOL classes? Maybe you could freelance teaching English to the families of foreign embassies. Or you could tutor children. And I'll bet you have some interesting experiences you could write about. Of course, writing doesn't pay much and isn't dependable. Don't give up! You'll find your niche.

That's sad kabaleyan. But I just hope you'll soon find a suitable job for you there. Maybe, your course appeals more to non-English speaking countries and I think, US needs more foreign teachers than UK. Good luck.

Have you tried going to a job centre that does careers advice and they can advice people what careers they can go into with the qualifications that they have got.

Why cant you learn Masters in Business Administration so you can employed anywhere as a marketing consultant and why cant you use you skills by communicating with clients, you probably speak american , so you could easily get a job in most of the firms.
