Oman

There is a huge demand for English in Oman because all Omani schools teach English as a second language and it is spoken in most hotels, airports and hospitals. All employees in these businesses are required to speak English. Nonetheless, there is a marked shortage of native English speakers in Oman – even in teaching positions – mostly due to the government´s strict immigration requirements. This shortage is especially pronounced in the country´s public school system.

Therefore, provided you can get a work visa and residence permit, there are plenty of teaching opportunities available.
