Why TEFL?

Teaching English abroad offers travellers the opportunity to immerse themselves completely in a new culture and to become a part of the very world that they are visiting.

Wandering through the tangled streets you'll live the life of a local, mingling with local people, shopping at local markets and even squeezing onto crowded local buses. This is one of the few authentic cultural experiences that remain in the world today and will allow you discover a world unbeknown to the package tourist, or even to the independent traveller. Such insight is reserved for those who take the time to get to understand the daily routines of the local community and the people within it. It's an experience to remember and cherish for the rest of your life.

And of course, it's also a great way to fund your travels! You'll earn as you go, so there's no fear of running out of cash or living on the Taiwanese equivalent of baked beans for a month!

A TEFL course will give you the qualification you need to do this!

So what is a TEFL Course?

A TEFL course is a program designed to give you the skills and confidence you need to teach English as a foreign language.

Why do a TEFL Course?

• To get the skills you need to earn up to US$2,200 a month!
• To enable you to live and work abroad for as long as you want.
• To give you the rare opportunity to completely immerse yourself in a new culture.
• To enable you to teach people skills which could give them a brighter future.
• To fuel your desire to travel by showing you that all you need to travel the world is a little bit of enthusiasm and a TEFL qualification!

What's the difference between TEFL and TESOL?

TEFL stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language and TESOL for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. The TEFL acronym is best known in the UK while TESOL is more common in the US, Canada and Australasia. TEFL is traditionally associated with teaching students in a non-English speaking country. TESOL, however, is more commonly associated with teaching students within an English speaking country.

What you really need to know, however, is that jobs requesting a TESOL qualification will be just as happy to accept a TEFL qualification and vice versa.
