Teaching English in SamoaBack to Tefl World

Samoa, formerly known as Western Samoa because of its location along the Samoan Islands, lies in Polynesia in the Pacific Ocean.  The nation consists of two main islands and eight smaller islets. The islands conjure up images of grass huts on idyllic beaches surrounded by turquoise waters which draw the tourists which now account for 25% of the country’s GDP.  Samoa has a population of almost 200,000 whose official languages are English and Samoan.  As you might expect with a country with a small English-speaking population, the demand for TEFL teachers is almost non-existent.  However, if you are keen to teach there, you could try contacting one of its educational institutions to enquire about career opportunities.  You should check which vaccinations you might need if you are going to live on the islands.
