TEFL- Teaching English as a Foreign Language

With the explosion of English as a means of global communication, many teaching professionals have extended their boundaries by teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL), allowing 1000's of professionals offer their skills in different countries such as Korea, China, Brazil, China, France and many more.

To ensure that these professionals are well equipped to teach abroad, we have structured a part time and a full time or online TEFL/TESOL course that incorporate the most up-to-date teaching methods including:

Theory – the latest in international trends and approaches

Practice - in depth teaching environment application

Development – student analysis, lesson planning, material design and more.

How does Tesol compare with Celta?
There is not a lot difference between them. The differences lie in the detail rather than in the broad aims of the schemes. Neither requires course participants to be 'native speakers' and neither requires them to be graduates. Courses tend to be of similar length, cover similar syllabus areas and require a minimum of six hours observed and assessed teaching practice per candidate as well as observation of experienced teachers.  The TESOL course contains information about teaching young learners which the CELTA course doesn't have.
