TEFL is Teaching English as a Foreign Language. It is a certification in which the participant needs 60 to 100 hours of training in which they learn how to create training materials and how to teach the language. The teachers usually teach overseas where English is not the dominant language.

Can anyone get TEFL certification?

To be eligible to take a TEFL/TESOL certification course, your level of English needs to be at (CEFR) level C1 or C2. In addition to this requirement, some countries stipulate that job applicants must hold a college degree. The college degree is required for the work visa permit and can (usually) be attained in any subject. Therefore, as an example, if you wish to teach English in China and you have a TEFL/TESOL qualification and a degree in architecture, you are eligible to apply for the work permit specific to a teaching English job position.

How To Get TEFL Teacher Certification?

English is quickly becoming the language of commerce and education. Foreigners who want a career with a global focus or wish to pursue education in an English-speaking nation must learn English. Because this language is becoming so important, English teachers are needed all over the world to teach all levels and all ages. Most countries only require their teachers to have a Bachelor’s degree in any field and pass the TEFL test. TEFL is an abbreviation for Teaching English As A Foreign Language. In order to gain TEFL certification, students will only need to pay their bill - not all overseas companies hiring English-speakers require a specific degree or other certification. Some schools in certain countries may require basic knowledge of a foreign language - this should be researched beforehand. Following are the simple steps required to gain TEFL teacher certification:1. Research SchoolsNot all schools offer a quality TEFL course. Since many people need their certification to teach overseas and the scarcity of these courses is high, many classes are crowded and teachers are sometimes underpaid. Also some schools have high campus fees and various other semester-long fees that are applicable to even students who are taking the short classes for TEFL. This will result in a very expensive tuition bill.2. Find A CourseUsually TEFL courses are found at community colleges or universities. Interested students should visit a nearby university or community college and speak with an admissions counselor for enrollment information. Some schools do offer financial aid for those who require it, but not all offer aid for TEFL courses only. Some courses are available online for $300. Prices tend to vary between schools, but most charge on a per credit-hour basis.3. Study ExtraStudents should put many hours toward the studying required for a TEFL course. The theories and methodology must be learned thoroughly and often requires extra study hours. Books designed for preparation are sold in most bookstores and online.4. Test TakingTaking the test is the last step. Before taking the test, students should be sure they are prepared and be sure to rest well the night before the test.
