Online Language Learning: Online TEFL Certification

Travel and teach Englishl anywhere in the world after successfully completing an online TEFL certification course. Teaching English as a foreign language is many times abreviated as TEFL, although you may also see the abbreviation TESOL, teaching English to speakers of other languages, which basically means the same thing. Teaching English as a second language, TESL, is a different certification which refers specifically to language teaching for immigrants in English speaking countries.

Qualifications to teach English in most countries include certification, which is earned by taking (and passing) a minimum four to six week intensive TEFL course. Several distance learning and online TEFL courses are available to earn this certification. TEFL is the minimum qualification to teach in many countries around the world. Once you have earned the TEFL certificate and have some relevant teaching experience, you can go on to study for a diploma, which is a higher level of certification. After earning a TEFL diploma you are ‘TEFL-qualified’. Some employers may also ask for a university or college degree in a relevant subject area.

Checklist for choosing the right certification course for you:

Check with some of the English language schools or institutions in the country in which you would like to work. Determine what qualifications employers require in that particular country.
Find a TEFL or TESL certification course which leads to a recognised qualification. Be certain that the qualification is externally validated by a recognised university or recognised examination board
Some employers require prior teaching experience – sometimes you may gain this as part of your TEFL course.
