Teaching Head On With the TEFL
Posted on September 19th, 2013 by Melanie in Uncategorized | No Comments »
As the most widely spoken language throughout the world, there is a huge demand for English language courses. Both on a social and business level, English is very widely accepted and understood.
As a requirement for immigration purposes, a necessity for many jobs, and being ideal for day-to-day living, it´s easy to see why a knowledge of English is necessary in many countries. On the other side of the coin, native English speakers are in the lucky position to be able to teach their language to others, with little restriction.
A Place in the Sun
Instead of watching those daytime TV programmes that follow people moving from home to abroad and eagerly watching their progress, have you ever considered taking the plunge and living abroad yourself? Speaking fluent English, you already have a head start over other expats living abroad as a way to earn yourself some money and maybe start a new career. The TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification is handy to have whether you´re living in a foreign speaking country or a predominantly English speaking country. Either way, there´s always a high demand for English lessons.
Locals Learning the Language
In foreign countries, learning English is still in demand thanks to the progressive nature of social media, the requirements within the business communities, and the opportunities that a lack of restrictions between countries has afforded us. In English speaking countries, lessons are in demand from foreigners who have taken up residence and need to learn the lingo, those wishing to learn the business side of the English language, and those that have an interest in learning it to suit their personal requirements.
Get Certified
Would a home away from home appeal to you? Would the love of your own language be enough to help you settle in your new surroundings? By grabbing the obvious opportunity you have head on, you won´t be restricted with your relocation. All you need to do is take the steps to gain your TEFL certification and you’ll be on your way to your own place in the sun!
