A lot of people dream of travelling and living abroad, but the thought of venturing into the unknown can be a terrifying thought. With different cultures and language barriers, there is uncertainty when it comes to finding work, making friends and settling down in a foreign land. Luckily for us, English has become an international language, and individuals equipped with the ability to teach it are sought after across the world. TEFL courses provide us with not only the knowledge of the rules and structures of the English language, but also how to actually teach them. For individuals with no teaching background, it provides an easy to understand guideline of the expectations of what working as a teacher is like in the real world. Native English speakers do not necessarily know the why’s and how’s of grammar, having learnt the language growing up it tends to come naturally for them. In order for non-native speakers to understand, we have to be able to give explanations and examples to back up the theoretical side of the language. This can only happen if we ourselves understand it, which is what TEFL courses teach us. Structured in an informative way, the course chapters vary in subject matter, some focusing on the fundamental makeup of the English language, while others look at teaching tips and methods. Making sure that the knowledge you are sharing with others is correct is crucial to the growth of the student. Delivery of the lesson and the attitude of the teacher are also factors that can greatly influence how students feel in their learning environment. Teaching is an occupation that comes with its challenges - there are many problems that can arise from working with students. TEFL courses tackle common issues, such as how to teach young learners, unmotivated students or disruptive individuals with solutions that are applicable in the real world. With sample lesson plans and activities, it shows how the learning process can be adapted to suit different demographics of students. It is impossible that every single class you have will be smooth sailing, there will definitely be bumps and bruises along the way. It all depends on how well you, as the teacher, can adapt to and handle the situation, and that is exactly what the TEFL course preps you for. Schools and training centres want to hire candidates that are prepared for and suited to the role, more often than not they look for teaching experience and/or certain qualifications. A TEFL certification is internationally recognised and acts a reference to your ability to fulfil the role. It offers the opportunity for a complete career change and also the chance to immerse yourself in a different culture. No matter what city, country, continent, or perhaps even in your home country, there will always be a need for educators. A TEFL course is your ticket to a whole new world, one where you can share your knowledge with others and use your skills to empower students on the language learning path.
