I’m interested in TEFL and I just wanted to know if anyone can give me some advice from their experience?

Get your visitor visa before leaving your home country, this way you won’t be pressured into taking a job right away. Contact some possible schools, then go to the school. Don’t sign or commit before checking out the school. Where do you plan to go?

Well I wanted to investigate some of the institutes there are and I found two that I liked. One of them has contacted me and told me about China. Theres Bridge TEFL and then theres another one in Chicago. I don’t know which one to go with. But China does seem good. I also want to know if I should get a CELTA or TEFL certificate?

I wouldn’t reccommend China. Korea or Taiwan would be better if you want a Far Eastern country. If you choose China, be real careful, stay in the big cities for your job. Shanghai is nice I hear. CELTA is probably the best one out there, but not necessary. Taking teacher courses and researching language acquisition on your own would be better. You need hands on experience, actual teaching experience. A lot of TEFL certs don’t give you that. You’ll learn more on youtube then a TEFL crse.

Thanks a lot. I will definitely make note of that. But doesn’t Korea and Taiwan prefer a BA? I don’t have one.

Taiwan will accept a 2 year degree with some kind of certification like CELTA or TEFL or any of the others. I think most places will accept this. Bottomline, getting the job is easy for as native speaker, especially if you’re not totally mutated and have blonde hair/blue eyes. The more certs you get or pieces of paper saying you took a course in teaching or educating people the better. If you go for the B.A. and want to teach ESL, get a degree in education

I found some good teaching material on the internet. Google “Ferd’nand”.

These are wordless cartoons. I have the students describe the situation trying to use all the important structures. Then I have the students role play the situation.

I’ve had a lot of success with this. It’s the fastest way I’ve seen to give them a good command of important structures.

This is good material for language exchanges too. It’s good for any language.

I’ve been looking at a lot of places in South Korea and oddly enough lots are asking for a FOUR year degree….. I assume that it’s an American thing but in England the common degree is only 3 years and technical subjects like IT or engineering have an additional work placement year which makes it 4. I’m going to get a CELTA certificate as well so hopefully that’ll help…. does anyone know anything about the whole 4 year degree thing? any comments and responses would be appreciated.
