A YEAR

The experience of English language teaching abroad has got to be worth a year of your life! Employers look favourably on structured travel experiences. A 'year out' or 'career break' taken to fulfil a personal ambition or dream, like seeing Orangutans in the wild, or spending a year living and working in another culture is regarded positively. So if you are worried about the implications of spending a year 'away' English language teaching abroad, don't be, it will only enhance your CV in the eyes of employers.
