Is the following statement True or False? I need a degree to teach English abroad.
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
No. you do not need to have a degree to teach English abroad.

Is the following statement True or False? I can teach anywhere in the world with a TEFL/TESOL certificate.
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
No, it is a misconception that you will be able to teach anywhere in the world with a TEFL/TESOL certificate. For example, even if you have a Bachelor's degree and a TEFL/TESOL qualification - you will find it next to impossible to find an English teaching position in Europe if you do not have an EU passport or the right to work there. So, always be sure to check the requirements for the country in which you wish to teach.
