Why Complete a tefl course (8) For many world-travelers, one of the most exciting and fulfilling experiences is the opportunity to teach english to non-native speakers. It is such a reward to see how students from a variety of nationalities have developed such a passion for the english language. In countries where speaking english was never popular before, this language is now becoming the most spoken and demanded language of preference. “In china alone, some 175 million people are now studying english in the formal education system. And, an estimated 2 billion people were studying english in 2011, according to a British Council report,” (Newsweek, 2011). The english language is also gaining fame in many European countries, where formal education of the english language has been incorporated into the educational curriculum. “According to the European commission's foreign language statistics, many pupils in European countries choose to study english over other languages, and many countries such as, spain, italy, Austria and greece, say more than nine out of ten children are learning english daily,” (European Commission, 2012). So, why are so many students across the globe finding such a desire to learn english? According to David Crystal, an accomplished author for esl books, “english is the most useful language,” (Nordquist, 2013). Alta, a company that provides language teaching and testing internationally, has listed the english language as the number one language for students to learn, telling students that the english language is the most widely used language of business, commerce, and the internet; and the primary second language learned in most countries,” (Alta, 2008). For this reason, esl teachers and trainers are now in high demand. Many expats and travelers living overseas, find english teaching to be a fun, and enjoyable job field. However, not all esl teachers are alike, and many do not even know where to start. For this reason, tefl has become an internationally popular training program for people who wish to teach esl as a career. “A tefl course is a program designed to give you the skills and confidence you need to teach english as a foreign language. tefl also gives you a variety of choices, in this course, you can choose what level of degree you would like to attain-60 hour, 80 hour, and even 140 hour accredited certification,” (I-to-I, tefl, 2012). Although a tefl course may be challenging for a time, the benefits are definitely worth the hard work. After completion of a tefl course, you will have an internationally recognized esl teaching certification, and access to teach in thousands of schools worldwide. In many countries, a tefl certificate is the minimum requirement for teaching english abroad at many of the world's largest schools,” (tefl Worldwide prague, 2013). In addition, tefl will also aid in helping you land the perfect job, using their international school database. Due to tefl's numerous connections worldwide, they can even assist you in finding a school in the country of your choice. Most importantly, tefl will enhance your confidence to teach, while equipping you with proper teaching skill and techniques.
