Another key issue you need to decide is in what part of the world -- and in particular what country -- you wish to work.It certainly makes sense to choose a country that speaks a language in which you are already fluent, but many opportunities are available for you to learn a foreign language. And, of course, if you plan to teach English as a second language, you certainly do not need to be fluent in a foreign language. Once you have narrowed your choices, take the time to conduct a little research and learn more about the country -- its culture, politics, economics, etc. Of course, if you are lucky enough to hold dual citizenships in the U.S. and the country in which you wish to have your international experience, the process is much easier.
