Are you interested in teaching English as a foreign language?

The annual American Community Survey from the U.S. Census Bureau estimates that one-in-five households in the United States do not speak English at home, making it an additional language for over 50 million Americans. This means that many millions of Americans could be looking to learn English right now.

Outside of the United States, there are over 1.5 billion people who want to learn to speak English, in places like Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America and many more, making the market for teaching TEFL enormous, with teachers in high demand.

If you’re interested in teaching English as a foreign language, you just need a TEFL qualification to open up a world of opportunities.

If you would prefer to take a Combined Level 5 TEFL Diploma, find your nearest American city where you can complete your 10 hour teaching practice course.

The TEFL Academy Reviews is the acronym for teaching English as a foreign language or, simply, English language instruction for non-native speakers. It is sometimes also known as TESOL (teaching English to speakers of other languages) or TESL (teaching English as a second language).

Being a TEFL teacher means teaching the English language to adults and/or children whose first language is not English. This can occur either within the state school system or, more privately, at a language school or with a tutor.

TEFL Academy Reviews instruction can be delivered face-to-face, like in a classroom, or online to/from anywhere in the world, either one-to-one or in a group. Students can learn the language generally and/or look to increase their English-language vocabulary for a specific purpose, such as learning business English.

TEFL and TESOL are both acronyms for teaching English to non-native English speakers. Both acronyms can be used to describe qualifications which certify you to teach English as a foreign language. To a large extent, “TEFL” and “TESOL” are used interchangeably.

With so much choice and such a vast amount of conflicting information available on the Internet it can be difficult for potential TEFL course students to make the correct choice. The most internationally recognized TEFL courses lead to a level 5 qualification, which is the same level as the CELTA/Trinity Certified TESOL. The minimum entry requirement for most well paid jobs, with the best packages, is a level 5 TEFL qualification. The level 5 version of our course leads to a Level 5 TEFL Diploma (168 hours), it’s regulated by of equal (UK government department) and awarded by Qualified, a UK government recognized awarding body. A TEFL Diploma is simply a slightly higher level of qualification than a “Certificate”. It will help your CV/Resume stand out against other applicants for TEFL jobs. Our Diploma is the highest Level 5 Diploma available, so courses advertised as an “Advanced Diploma” are equal to our qualification. If you are looking for an introduction to TEFL and plan to look for casual work teaching English, such as volunteering, teaching whilst backpacking and some online teaching roles, then we recommend you choose a level 3 course. The level 3 version of our course leads to a Level 3 TEFL Certificate (120hrs).
