TESOL Job Outlook

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), career opportunities for those working in adult and remedial education, including TESOL teachers, were forecast to increase at a faster-than-average rate in the decade spanning 2008-2018(www.bls.gov). Greater demand for TESOL teachers was expected because of a growing number of men and women looking to learn the English language or improve their English skills, especially in areas of the United States with high immigrant populations.

Employment for elementary, middle and secondary school teachers in general was projected to rise at an average rate during the same time period, according to BLS figures. However, the need for TESOL teachers in particular was expected to be greater than average since the number of U.S. students who don’t speak English was predicted to continue to grow.
