Although there are dozens of potential destinations for teachers without a degree, it is still highly recommended that you complete a TEFL certification course before...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Teaching is not generally a lucrative profession, because in Africa we have strange financial priorities. But there are so many countries out there that make teaching quite a better living particularly teaching the English language as a foreign language. I don't think and neither do I believe that one can just wake up and call himself or herself into a particular field without training. Fully ingrained should one be, call himself or herself an English language teacher and this can not be achieved without education.

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas EFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) is a unique area of expertise, requiring individual training. This essay will argue that the value of completing a TEFL course far exceeds that of merely placing a certificate to a teacher's name and improving their credibility and job prospects; because such a course has the potential to significantly broaden and deepen the future teacher's understanding of English—including its rules, exceptions, and quirks. A TEFL course can provide a 'sneak peek' into the industry, describing commonly-faced potentially tricky situations so that the future teacher will be ready and prepared when they, too, might face them.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas As a teacher, it is easy to get caught up in lesson planning and become overwhelmed with the details of the subject at hand.

If teachers have a great lesson but poor classroom management, then the whole learning objective can be lost. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Heather F.

For anyone without a degree, the best thing to do is to offer as much else to the employer as possible. As mentioned, a TEFL/TESOL certification is essential (a minimum 120-hour course is usually expected). Other sought...  [Read more]
