Why Complete a tefl course. One of the biggest mistakes native english speakers make is to believe that teaching english abroad is an easy task because they are already experts of the language. Although it is true that many individuals have great knowledge of the english language, it does not mean they can teach effectively. They might be in need of other skills like knowing how to teach the language or simply how to control the students; keep them focused and entertained. Others possess those skills but lack knowledge of the basics of english. While a tefl course does not guarantee to make the individual an expert teacher, it helps filling in the gaps; make a stronger foundation of the basics. A tefl course provides tools that help the individual stepping into the tefl world make a more successful journey. Whether it is reinforcements in grammar or feeling more comfortable teaching that first class and on, a tefl course provides very valuable help. A tefl course will allow the individual to be more confident in the classroom; become a better teacher (Werden, 2013). Visible Benefits While a tefl certificate is not a must in many teaching positions, it is a great tool in the arsenal. A certificate helps the individual applying for a job get ahead of individuals who do not have one. The chances of finding a job increases. Many of the companies that provide training and certification also provide assistance with finding a job (Werden, 2013). Salary is a big concern for many individuals applying for a job. A teacher with a tefl certification often makes more than a teacher without one. A tefl certification enhances one's resume for the teaching position one is seeking and beyond. After working and gaining some experience overseas, the certification holds a value; future employers, whether is teaching or not, will appreciate the certification and experience (Fudin, 2012). tefl training helps individuals understand a new culture better and provide excellent teaching strategies. The training does not make one an expert of both; however, it is of great assistance. The teacher learns how to approach situations and deal with them more effectively. As a result, the teacher has more confidence in the classroom. A more confident teacher is a more effective and productive teacher (Fudin, 2012). My Personal Experience After four years of teaching tefl in South Korea, I felt confident and satisfied with my teaching skills. I have helped many students reach their goals; do so in a fun manner. Many of my students have gone to the united states to study at different levels; elementary to university. I consider myself to be a very successful teacher. I have had excellent feedback from students and parents who backup that theory. Self-education and improvement is an ongoing and never-ending process. After taking the tefl training, I realized one can never stop learning. Even after four years of experience, there is so much to learn. During the training I learned valuable information; information that I have put into practice and have been working wonders. One example is conducting my classes with phases; engage-study-activate. I believe it has added great value to my classes.Conclusion Completing a tefl course has its obvious and not so obvious benefits. Whether one is an experience or inexperienced teacher, tefl certification adds value to the individual. The teacher gains so many strategies and tools that could make the learning environment more effective and pleasant. From experience, I can see there is a huge difference in my teaching after taking the tefl course. I certainly recommend taking one. It is well worth it.
