J.D. - U.S.A. said:
As an experienced esl instructor, I am a firm believer in the ceaseless pursuit of knowledge to become a better teacher. Taking a 120 hour tefl course has helped me in this pursuit, and I recommend that all teachers take advantage of the valuable information and guidance that a tefl course provides. There are many advantages to taking and completing a 120 hour tefl course. No matter if you are an experienced esl instructor or an aspiring esl instructor with zero classroom experience, a 120 hour tefl course will give you a solid foundation for english grammar, effective lesson planning, and classroom management, as well as the competitive edge that you will need to serve you throughout your exciting career as an international esl instructor. Having a solid foundation for english grammar should be a requirement for all esl instructors, yet I am constantly surprised to discover so many esl instructors that lack this foundation. Identifying and understanding the forms and correct usages of english grammar will give you confidence as a teacher, and will also give your students confidence in your instruction. Instructors need to thoroughly know their subject matter in order to present it in a clear, logical way. Taking a 120 hour tefl course will assist you in obtaining that knowledge. Although most tefl courses do not offer complete coverage of the entire english grammatical system, they do include the most commonly needed areas of grammar that will serve most levels of instruction and students. By completing a 120 hour tefl course, you will obtain a solid foundation for english grammar, and will possess the organization and logic that you need to plan successful, effective lessons. Preparing effective, creative lesson plans can be a challenging task for teachers, and especially so for inexperienced teachers. Although some theorists argue about whether or not fixed lesson plans are a good idea for esl instruction, I strongly recommend the flexible use of lesson plans to help strategize, stay on target, and keep a record for an optimized educational experience in the classroom. By taking and completing a 120 hour tefl course, you will obtain a solid foundation for the important functions of successful, effective lesson plans. And not only will knowing how to prepare effective lesson plans make it easier to teach subject matter, but the organizational and structural skills embedded in the art of lesson planning are likely to benefit your organization and management of the classroom as well. Classroom management is an essential skill to obtain in order to teach effectively. Without the ability to organize, manage, and maintain discipline in the classroom, the instructor will have a difficult time inspiring confidence in the students. Although most class management solutions will be learned through actual experience in the classroom, knowing certain techniques and strategies before you enter the classroom will be a valuable asset when building rapport with the students, or when activities unravel and disciplinary situations arise. Most of my experiences with esl students have been positive and my classes have been easy to manage. By building a solid rapport with the students, and utilizing tools and techniques for successful classroom management, the overall attention and desire to learn from the students is likely to increase. By taking and completing a 120 hour tefl course, you will learn the specific techniques and tools to maintain an effective, enjoyable learning environment for you and for your students. When you are able to effectively manage a classroom, you will most likely become more confident in yourself as a teacher. Confidence in yourself inspires confidence in you from others. And the more confident people are in you and your teaching abilities, the more competitive you will be in the job market. In addition to providing you with a solid foundation for english grammar, effective lesson planning, and classroom management, completing a 120 hour tefl course will increase your esl employment opportunities around the world. After researching many tefl job listings online, including Dave’s esl Café, esl jobs.com, and eslEmployment.com, I have concluded that most reputable schools require at least a 120 hour tefl/tesol or CELTA certificate to be considered as a candidate for employment. Without obtaining this certificate, your esl employment opportunities will be severely limited. And in addition to more employment opportunities, holding a 120 hour tefl certificate will also earn a higher pay. It is therefore, my recommendation that all esl teachers and aspiring teachers complete a 120 hour tefl course in order to maximize employment opportunities and salary. Taking a 120 hour tefl course has made me a more confident and thoughtful teacher. I currently use many of the tools, strategies, and teaching tips that I have learned throughout my tefl course in my classrooms. If you are thinking about teaching esl, or if you are currently teaching esl, I applaud you in your interest and efforts to bring the world closer together by sharing the english language. No matter if you are an experienced esl instructor or an aspiring esl instructor with zero classroom experience, a 120 hour tefl course will give you a solid foundation for english grammar, effective lesson planning, and classroom management, as well as the competitive edge that you will need to serve you throughout your exciting career as an international esl instructor.
