Get qualified to teach abroad with a TEFL certificate
Not all teaching jobs abroad require candidates to have a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate, but a lot of them do! Enrolling in a TEFL course, either an online course or a classroom based course, will equip you with the teaching theory and skills to feel confident in the classroom as well as meet the requirements for many ESL teaching jobs around the world.
TEFL courses will cover topics such lesson planning, classroom management, creating teaching materials and teaching grammar. TEFL courses can range from a week long, to a month or longer but in general a course with over 100 hours of instruction is necessary to get a good ESL job teaching English abroad.
Talking to Teachers
“I was a teacher in the UK and became despondent with the UK education system, a mundane and predictable social life. Now I live and work in Shanghai and would not want to be anywhere else.”
“I had just finished university and was looking for something a bit different. Once I knew I wanted to teach English abroad the next step was completing the TEFL qualification.”
“Teaching English in Asia had always been on my list of things I wanted to do. I have had many friends who have tried their hand at teaching English at some point. All have had overwhelmingly positive experiences, many saying it was the most fun they ever had.”
“I absolutely love Shanghai. As a foreigner, I can find everything I need and spend the day exploring new places and things. It’s a complete 50-50 mix of old China and new Western standards. I am so happy here.”
