My husband is looking for a teaching position in Vancouver, Canada. He has a BA, majoring in Contemporary English Lit., but he’s not sure what else he needs to be able to teach ESL? I should also mention that he can speak English and Korean fluently… Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

I just want to know what other relevant areas are opened to a foreign and experienced ESL teacher and the probability of getting a job in Canada.
In between,I’m open to any entry level position as long as it’s not too low paid and demeaning. I don’t mind training for other career that is in high demand.

Suggest two reasons explaining the difference between the Litercy Rate in Canada vs./and a country in development of any country. (In french it’s “taux d’alphabétisation”.
I would prefer longer and good answers. But if your answer is short, than that’s still alright. Thanks.
