If you have a passion for the English language, you may think that you will be good at teaching it. However, you should know which countries are focusing on students compulsorily learning English when you are applying for TEFL jobs. Slovakia has become the 14th country in the European Union (EU) to make English language instruction compulsory. This change happened after the parliament there overrode a presidential veto of the amendment in February 2011 and approved new rules which will come in effect from March 1 this year. Remember that you are likely to need a EU passport for teaching there, however.
