Does anyone know of organizations or websites where one can research oppurtunities for teaching English (I am interest in teaching in Germany). There seem to be a number of placement companies, but they seem to sell the positives too hard and I'm not sure if they are legit.

eslcafe.com and eslemployement.com both have forums where people discuss the job opportunities posted on their respective sites.
You could try there as a starting point. There's also TESOL.org and TELF.com, among many others, I'm sure.

The others are unknown to me but be very carefull with ESL cafe it is a shysyters heaven. Many of the positive reviews are from people paid to put positive reviews there, this is particulary the case for anything regarding Korea and China.
Should you end up going to any of those countries ( demand there is the highest, and since you arevnot an EU citizen with EU jobs that will be against you), do not use recruiters, and check your contracts. What you will be given to sign will probably be different from what you were given as an example.
I have met someone some time ago when I was in Prague that does ESL in Germany from America. She aquired the job through a long time spent networking and repeated visits to Germany. I mention that as like I stated before nearly all ESL will be in China or Korea, sadly those along with Japan are the countries where you are likely to be screwed over the most.
