TEFL Wise Town

  Our course in Chiapas de Corzo is located in the south of mexico. It also borders Guatemala and flanks the Pacific Ocean. According to Lonely Planet, Chiapas de Corzo is a town with an “easy-going, provincial air”. The summary is accurate but the town is overlooked by most tourists—which is great for sustaining authentic local customs. Our center is in a small town but we’ve got big plans for all trainees who take our course. On the weekends you can tour up a nearby mountain to San Cristobal. The town is home to ancient ruins and beautiful lakes. For those who wish to take a longer trip, the world-renowned Mayan ruins of Palenque are only a seven-hour drive away from Chiapas de Corzo. Day trips to waterfalls such as El Chorreadero and El Chiflon are also great options....  [Read more]

{ "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ [ ] ] } Acronyms are an essential tool used in all professions and technical writing. They are powerful tools to reduce word content. However without knowing what the acronym stands for, they can form a barrier to understanding. In the ESL (English as a Second Language) teaching world there is certainly no shortage of acronyms.

This is a general term for anyone learning English and applies to learners of...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences I am currently living in Vanuatu, where I am volunteering as a primary school teacher in a small, community-based school. While I am not a registered teacher in my home country, I do have experience in early childhood education, a Certificate in Adult Teaching and I am studying for TEFL qualifications through ITTT. I am privileged to be working alongside five local women; none of whom are qualified teachers and two of whom never finished high school. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Kerri P. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. Given the lack of qualifications amongst local teachers, it’s easy to suggest that any well-meaning...  [Read more]

Kevin Cullen Budget and Salary How much money do I need? Determine your costs to get TEFL certified and your running costs until you get your first teaching paycheck. The TEFL Budget Planner is a tool to estimate your total costs to become TEFL certified and then begin working as a teacher.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas J. K. Rowling once said: "All a writer needs is talent and ink." I agree. But she might have forgotten a crucial factor that made Harry Potter forever etched in our mind ---imagination.
