Where are some of the best places to teach English as a foreign language?

One of the best places to teach English as a foreign language is a country that has English as its official language!Because ....# The student(s) will be living in, and possibly 'within' an English-speaking community. Consequently they will be entirely surrounded by the English language! e.g. The media, the people, the culture, shops, restaurants, entertainment and recreational venues, everything!# This will provide the student with the widest possible range of opportunities to absorb English language and to practice it. # To enhance the formal tuition, the teacher will be able to draw from the vast range course materials at hand, taken from everyday life.# 'Total immersion' in the English language is the most effective way to learn: the student 'has to' learn! # It is best if students minimise, or, even better, totally avoid exposure to their own mother tongue. The less time they speak with friends in their mother-tongue, or listen to, or read things their own language, the quicker they will learn English, its vocabulary, grammar, idioms, rhythm, intonation, etc. Living in an English-speaking place is the best place to achieve this!# There is no doubt that such an environment will be be very hard work for the student, at first, but it will make a very deep and lasting impression on them.# Soon they will be using English automatically. They will begin 'thinking in English'. # Some students find, after only a few weeks of intensive English in a situation like this, that they may have difficulty remembering some of their own native language! Language 2 will have replaced language 1 in their brains! Success!
