Portugal
(Need EU PASSPORT) Portugal is an often overlooked corner of Europe
for ESL/EFL teachers. This is surprising, given the opportunities which exist
here for teachers with an internationally-recognized TESOL certificate (and
the right visa). Private English schools can be found throughout the
country, even in small coastal towns such as Póvoa and Averio. In the
bigger cities, international language school chains International House,
Inlingua, and the Wall Street Institute have a significant presence. Most of
these schools recruit many of their teachers from overseas.

for British English, though teachers from other English-speaking countries
are rarely overlooked.
