Native English Speaking Countries
Jan
In some countries, the requirements for teaching English abroad are more relaxed and may not require native-level fluency in English. In these cases, as long as you have a good command of the English language, a bachelor’s degree, and a teaching certificate such as a TESOL, CELTA or TEFL, you may be eligible to teach English.
Native English speaking countries are those where English is the primary language spoken by the majority of the population. Here is a list of the 7 most widely recognized native English speaking countries:
- United States
- United Kingdom
- Canada
- Australia
- New Zealand
- Ireland
- South Africa
It’s important to note that while these countries have English as their primary language, they have different accents, dialects, and colloquialism which make them unique.
Additionally, the use of English as a second language is quite common, particularly in countries that have a history of colonialism or have a large immigrant population.
Other countries where English is widely spoken as a second language include:
- India
- Philippines
- Singapore
- Nigeria
- Jamaica
- Pakistan
This list is not exhaustive and there are other countries where English is spoken, but it gives a good indication of the countries where it is considered a primary or significant language.
