Talk:Teaching abroad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Good topic, bad presentation

This article is US-centric, written like an advertisement for teachers, does not cite sources and is not neutral with respect to the topic. It does not have a lead. I suspect that the topic could make a good encyclopedic article, but I don't think that I would start from this work. --Bejnar 20:43, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Broaden the article

Teaching abroad encompasses five types of employment:

  • International business jobs overseas, working for a company teaching their employees;
  • Professional Teaching (with a certificate) Full-time open-ended professional employment at a school or university;
  • Internships, which may be student teaching or combined as fellowships with teaching duties;
  • Temporary (1 year or less) or low-Skill employment, most ESL teachers fit here as does, to some extent, the United States Peace Corps;
  • Government jobs abroad, some United States Peace Corps jobs fall here, as do many USAID jobs;
  • Foreign government jobs, working for a foreign government other than in a school or university;
The article needs to cover the whole ground. --Bejnar 21:08, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
