Are there opportunities for international intern teachers in Turkey?
For my last semester in university, I will need to be a student English teacher. I wanted to do this in Turkey, instead of in my country (Philippines). Would it be possible to find a teaching position (volunteer/unpaid) in Istanbul or Ankara? I understand that there are several ESL schools there which aren't too discriminating about the teachers they take on, but would it also be possible to teach at a regular school (e.g. highschool) even being only an intern teacher? Also, would it be doubly difficult since I am a foreigner? Thanks for your help.

I went to a private middle school in Turkey, Istanbul. In private schools, during high school or middle school they really look for foreign teachers. Because that is when they want you to start to practice talking English. You actually have to talk English in class after sixth grade in my school. n 8th grade we had three teachers. One main teacher(there were only 46 kids in 8th grade) Mrs.Franko who teached us grammar, Mr. Mcdowell for reading and vocabulary, and twice a week Mrs. Luis for speaking(we had 11 english classes- we took english the most) . Only Mrs.Franko was turkish. Mr.Mcdowell was Amerikan and Mrs. Luis was British. So i'm sure you could easily find a job in private schools.You can find one in public schools too but i didn't go to any so i'm not sure. About discrimination part I'm going to be totally honest with you. I don't think you're going to be discriminated because you're foreign because there are many foreign people in Turkey especially in Istanbul. Biggest discrimination you'll face would be if someone thinks you are a tourist and try to sell something more expensive than it is normally, but they don't do that much in Istanbul so I don't think you're going to even face that. Good luck and have fun!
