Gap year teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) is a popular option for people seeking to learn a new language and live in a different country.
Some gap year teaching placements are voluntary, but you can find paid teaching jobs in the UK and abroad. Popular destinations include teaching in Thailand, teaching in China and teaching in Japan.
Some people take a TEFL course and TESOL course which help you prepare to be a teacher. ESL teaching and language teaching abroad vacancies can be found worldwide.
Gap year teaching in Africa can be very rewarding, placements can be found at schools, orphanages and community projects where you can instruct lessons and activities helping to shape a child's life.
