Dear Sir/Madam,

I am currently employed as a project manager of an adult life long learning centre in an inner city estate of the West Midlands and work with a large variety of multi cultural people who require variations of support ranging from Basic Skills (num & lit) to ESOL.

I am now considering moving forward to enrol on a TEFEL Course which will hopefully help me further my career and possibly give me the opportunity to travel world wide to share my skills and experience.

Although not educated to degree level I do now have some form of education in the range of O levels, however I personally feel that my grammar may not be adequate!

Could you please advise as top what standard of grammar is required and what suitable course or centre you would recommend if any that is.

Kind Regards

Thanks for your run down on TEFL courses/ certification - can I add some more info...
Don't forget the Trinity certTESOL - it is pretty much the same as the Cambridge CELTA. It's a standardised course, validated and accredited by Trinity, and , like Cambridge CELTA, is accepted by all good schools worldwide.

If you are hoping to work in the UK, you must have either Cambridge CELTA, Trinity certTESOL, or a TEFL course that includes 100+ hours of input and 6+ hours of supervised observed teaching practice.

Avoid 2 day TEFL courses like the plague - and the schools that will hire you if you have taken a course like this! It's not a good sign if they don't care whether their teachers are well-qualified or not!

Hi, I am so confused about the whole thing and i don't really know what to do. i have been asking questions upon questions but nobody could answer my questions. my first question is(i hold a masters degree in special ed. and i thaught esl. for 5yrs. already in all levels and my i want to know what do i have to take again to qualify me to teach abroad?. i don't want to waiste my money in taking these courses and at the end of the day becomes a waiste .i will really appreaciate if you can recommend something reasonable.thank you .
sincerely,
christy

Does anyone have info on the TEFL course offered in Costa Rica (Manual Antonio) run by TEFL International. Its rather expensive and I was wondering if its as valuable as CELTA.

cheers

I recently completed a tesol course, and i want to work in south america. Is it possible to tee up a job before leaving your country? Also, is CELTA better than tefl or tesol?

Michelle,

If you want a certificate that allows you to teach ESL in grades K-12, then you need an ESOL certificate. In Oregon, where I teach adjunct courses at Western Oregon University, there are six classes mandated by the state for the endorsement. These classes include multiculturalism/culture, curriculum, strategies, language acquisition, which I have taught. If you already are a teacher and just need an endorsement, this is the easy way to go!

Good luck!

Vye
