Teaching English in Papua New GuineaBack to Tefl World

Papua New Guinea occupies the eastern half of the island of New Guinea in the south-western Pacific Ocean.  In many people’s minds it represents one of the few areas on Earth which has a dramatic wilderness yet to be explored.  Only 18% of its seven-million population live in urban areas – the rest live in a diverse range of rural communities.  English is one of the four official languages which might explain why so few TEFL jobs are advertised outside of the country.  If you are looking for a TEFL position in this fascinating country, then you might try sending one of its schools or NGOs a prospective CV and covering letter asking about career opportunities. You should check which vaccinations you might need if you are going to live in the country.
