America and Canada have a lot to offer. It is possible to teach there even if you don't have a US or Canadian passport. There are many immigrants and they have become a melting pot of cultures around the world. Some of the info below was taken from Susan Griffith's Teaching English Abroad.  You might also want to take a look at Teaching at International Schools and Teaching Exchanges and Fellowships.
