In an earlier article, I put forward that Macau is in a unique role to establish itself as a teacher training hub for Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL). This, I contended, is indubitably viable given Macau’s overflowing financial resource which can be directed towards investment in the knowledge industry that does not require large space or gigantic infrastructures.
I suggested that tertiary institutions in Macau may offer English as a major in the field of education and include TESL as a postgraduate degree for those who are already teaching. I proffered further that if Macau will take this initiative, it will not only be assured of numerous prospective clients to begin with but will also be able to contribute significantly to the dearth of English language teachers in a region that is home to the most number of eager English language learners.
