What is TEFL Certification?
TEFL stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language. You can teach English abroad, or in your home country. It’s sometimes referred to as TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), but they’re the same thing.
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)
