2009 JUN 6 - (VerticalNews.com) -- Out of work with no skills? You may have a skill you don't even know about. The ability to speak English is giving those seeking a career change or those that have been downsized during this global economic crisis, a chance to start a new life as an English teacher while trotting the globe. With 4,000,000 students in China alone currently studying English as a Second Language (ESL), there are approximately 20,000 new ESL Teacher jobs advertised worldwide every month, creating career opportunities for native speakers of the English language with a desire to experience living abroad.

Before embarking on their journey, a rapidly growing number of teachers in training are learning the fundamentals of teaching English by becoming TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) Certified in 15 weeks online through Anaheim University, the nationally accredited online education pioneer who launched the world's first online Masters degree in TESOL taught live in real time by the world's leading linguists.

Anaheim University spokesperson David Bracey stated, "I believe the global economy is pushing people to make a career shift. Over the past 6 months our TESOL student body has quadrupled with aspiring teachers ready to teach abroad in places like Asia, South America and Europe. The Online TESOL Certificate provides an excellent stepping stone into the field of English Language Teaching, while those who have set their sights on making teaching a career at the college and university level can earn the MA in TESOL online in two years. We hope our alumni will help companies around the world to globalize through the improvement of language education, leading to a sustainable world economy."

Anaheim's TESOL faculty is arguably the most elite in the world. The Dean of the Graduate School of Education Dr. David Nunan is former President of the world's largest language teaching organization TESOL and the world's leading author of over 100 English language teaching textbooks and journals with worldwide textbook sales exceeding 700,000,000. Chair of Anaheim's School of Education Dr. Rod Ellis is known throughout the world as the Father of Second Language Acquisition. They are joined by TESOL professors Dr. Kathleen Bailey (former TESOL President), Dr. Ruth Wajnryb and Dr. Martha Cummings.
