TEFL

Defintion of TEFL
TEFL is the common abbreviation for Teaching English as a Foreign Language, which involves teaching students whose first language is not English. Students range in age from childhood to adult. EFL courses can take place in state schools, private schools or special EFL schools, and can be found in almost every country around the world. TEFL usually involves refining students' speaking and listening skills through exposure to native speakers of English who are qualified English teachers, or who have a qualification in TEFL teaching from an accredited TEFL training college.

o TEFL qualifications include a bachelor of arts in English, and a secondary-level or above teaching qualification such as a teaching license from an accredited U.S. university or a post-graduate certificate in education from an accredited British university. University graduates who have not majored in English education can undertake a TEFL training course in order to qualify as a TEFL teacher.

TEFL Training

o There are three TEFL qualifications recognized around the world: the Cambridge Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA), the Trinity College (London) Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (Cert TESOL), and the Trinity College (London) Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (Trinity Dip TESOL).
For CELTA and Cert TESOL training, classes must take place at an accredited school. Courses range from five-week intensive to year-long programs. Each student must complete written assignments on specific language and adult teaching and learning topics. Their written assignments and classroom teaching skills will also be assessed by a college-appointed moderator.
For the Trinity Dip TESOL qualification, candidates must have completed two years of TEFL teaching in order to apply. Once the training commences, they must complete four hours of observed teaching, four assessment units and an independent project. All of these required components will be assessed by a Trinity College moderator.

TEFL Careers

o TEFL teachers can become residential or non-residential teachers, assistant course directors, course directors, head teachers or owners of TEFL schools. TEFL teachers who wish to be promoted will often complete Trinity Dip TESOL training.

TEFL Job Opportunities

o TEFL job opportunities for qualified TEFL teachers exist all over the world, for all ages of students from school-age to adult. Business English courses in schools, colleges and in businesses are also common in many countries.

TEFL Vacation Courses

o In England, Ireland and the United States, many students over the age of 16 study EFL during the school holidays for one to twelve weeks, usually in a popular city like London, Dublin or New York. Some students choose to live in residential colleges. Other schools arrange classes during the day, and accommodation for the students with host families, with whom they practice their English while also learning about the culture of the country. The TEFL school will also schedule age-appropriate activities and sightseeing for the duration of the students' stay, which TEFL teachers will be expected to supervise or participate in.

TEFL Teaching Abroad

o TEFL teachers taking up an overseas post should make sure they have a firm job offer complete with all salary, terms and benefits in writing, and that their round-trip travel expenses to and from the school are paid. They should also be certain their passport will not expire within the next six months, and that all the appropriate official work permits, sponsorship forms, visas and so on have been taken care of prior to departure.
