How to teach in Thailand as a US Citizen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Citizens of the United States of America are welcome to come to Thailand to teach English as a foreign language. American English is becoming increasingly popular in Thailand. Companies that deal with the US prefer to be educated in American English rather than British English, as do students who wish to go to American universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some American owned international schools have preferences for US teachers. Mainly for their first-hand knowledge of American English but also the hard-working ethic of United States citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many Thai citizens grow up watching American movies and listening to American music. Some find the American accent familiar and easy to understand. Americans often speak slower and pronounce clearer than English speakers from the UK, Ireland and Australia, which is excellent for teaching ESL students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
