What is TEFL Certification?
TEFL stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language. You can teach English abroad, or in your home country.
An effective TEFL certification course will include:
- English language acquisition theory (understand how your students learn English so that you can successfully teach them)
- Language teaching methodologies (we all have different learning styles – arm yourself with a teaching toolkit to ensure you reach all your students)
- Grammar modules (you can formulate grammatically correct sentences - but can you explain why they’re correct?)
- Intercultural training (if you’re going to take one thing away from a TEFL course this is it – understanding individual cultures plays the biggest role in actually helping your students learn English)
- Required practicum hours (put your new skills to use as a TEFL teacher on the other side of the desk)
