A TEFL Certificate (Teaching English as a Foreign Language)
is a very useful qualification for those who would like to
teach English.
Many links to TEFL programmes can be found on the internet,
however you must make sure that that you choose a good one.
Sign up for a TEFL course...
Anyone who has attained Advanced level (C1) can
continue practising and progress
to Proficiency level (C2) whilst
teaching others.
Research says that the non-native
teacher is the best teacher
***
Non-native speakers
Whilst native English speakers tend to have first pick of teaching jobs
travelling
around the world, you can easily teach
English in your own country, especially to
young children.
You must of course, hold the teaching qualifications specified in your
country and an English certificate will be the most important
of these.
In
Spain for
example, a teacher is usually required to have a certificate in either
the CELTA (Cambridge) or the TESOL (Trinity).
In Hong Kong, language teachers must hold the 'Language
Proficiency Assessment
for Teachers'. Each country will have its own specific
requirements. ***
There
has been a
lot of discussion about whether the best English teachers are
non-native
speakers, as they have had to study the language themselves and this
gives them
invaluable experience which they can then pass on to their students.
Here at 'Kaycontinental Learn English' , we would be very
interested in hearing your views on this subject, so do please write to
us and let us know your thoughts on
the matter.
