If you have done any research into teaching English in Europe it is likely that you have read something about the Schengen Area that is made up of 26 countries with a combined population of over 400 million people.

  The Association of Language Testers in Europe is an association of organizations involved in the assessment and certification of language learners in a variety of languages across Europe.

The truth is that thousands of people are currently working as ESL teachers in countries worldwide without a formal work visa or work permit.
