Meaningful contributions to local communities in Indonesia

Other Reasons to Consider Teaching in Indonesia
The variety of opportunities Indonesia offers to ESL teachers makes it a destination like no other. From the vibrant city of Jakarta to a remote village on one of the country's 6,000 inhabited islands, the variety of experiences available to the ESL teacher are almost infinite.
Aside from the personal pleasures that living and working in such an environment would provide, teachers can also make meaningful contributions to local communities. Indonesia was hard hit by the Asian economic crisis of the late 1990s and nearly half of the nation's inhabitants live on less that $2 US dollars a day. With the population of major cities drastically rising as people migrate in search of work, ESL teachers can provide practical, useful communication and life skills to people of all ages.
