It is the only country in the world competing with the U.S. in terms of the speed and scale of economic growth. Cities with more than 1000 million people are common and have high economic income levels. They are required to educate English in middle and high schools, and require English ability as a graduation condition in top universities in China.
While the Chinese government is making active investments in English education, there is a lack of supply of manpower available for English education in China. Therefore, demand for English teaching ability is high. If someone who speaks English as native language can teach, everyone can be treated well wherever you go in China.
TESOL is widely known in China, and there are local private institutions that teach TESOL and issue certificates, but there is no authority. As Canada's official TESOL program, adopted as the Olympic standard pronunciation, Okanagan TESOL is an attractive condition for Chinese looking for talented native English teachers.
Vietnam is the fastest growing country in Asia. The average age is 30, with 50% of all under 30. It has a culture that gives high value of education and the government is investing heavily in education.
The economy grows with a population of nearly one hundred million. That's how much enthusiasm for education is increasing demand in all education fields. There is a shortage of professional English educators compared to the high demand for English. There are many opportunities for people who speak English as a native language to work with high treatment.
TESOL is becoming popularly known in Vietnam, and it is becoming a standard that is accepted by everyone among educators. Canada, along with the United States, is a very attractive national brand in Vietnam. Okanagan TESOL has a strong competitive edge in Vietnam with a public credentialing program issued by Canadian public college.
Korea is known for its special political environment, the division of North and South, which is known to pose war risks, but in practice, security systems are better established than anywhere else in the world and are safe 24 hours a day. As a country of K-pop and BTS, it has a high cultural level, high income level and is famous for its fierce competition in education. Even in the capital city of Seoul and various provincial cities, there are many high-income opportunities if native English speakers have the ability to teach.
In particular, the Korean government recognizes 180 hours of TESOL courses as a qualification for teaching at educational institutions. Most private educational institutions require a TESOL certificate.
There are TESOL programs created and operated by as many private universities as the Korea’s high education enthusiasm, but Korean parents give higher value of certificates from foreign schools. For Koreans, Canada is a highly likable national brand. The TESOL certification program operated and issued in Canada is the only Okanagan TESOL.
Japan is a unique country when it comes to English. There is a great deal of controversy over why ordinary Japanese find it difficult to pronounce English. However, the demand for English education is always high compared to the low achievement of English.
Japan is one of the countries with the highest percentage of college students from countries where English is their first language, such as the United States and Canada, as their first destination when planning overseas travel. The reason is that there are many opportunities to make economic income locally because of the high demand for English education.
In the past, there were times when you could get a job in the field of English education just because you were a foreigner, but now it is common to require proof of teaching ability like TESOL. Considering the differences in income levels by country, it is reasonable to prepare your next destination in Japan.
