Frequently Asked Questions
What does TEFL mean?
The simple answer is that TEFL stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language. The TEFL acronym is also used when referring to training courses that new or experienced English language teachers undertake, as well as the certification they receive upon successful completion. As one of the leading providers in this field, GTA offers all the TEFL training and certification required to become a successful English language teacher anywhere in the world.
What qualification do I need to teach TEFL?
To secure a position as an EFL teacher most employers require their job applicants to possess a relevant qualification known as a TEFL certificate. However, as there is no official standard when it comes to TEFL certification, it can be hard to know which course to choose from the many options available. A quick internet search for TEFL certification will reveal a huge number of different companies offering all manner of TEFL courses that vary enormously in the level of commitment required in terms of both time and finances. So how do you decide which TEFL course is right for you? Don’t worry our team will help you become a global citizen as an English teacher.
Which TEFL course provides the most comprehensive training?
If you want the best possible start to your teaching career and want to hit the ground running, we would recommend you complete an in-class TEFL course at one of our international training centers in Vietnam. The main benefit of this form of TEFL certification is the inclusion of extensive teaching practice with genuine language learners under the guidance of a professional teacher trainer. On completion of this four-week intensive training, you will be ready to walk into your first teaching job fully confident in your ability to plan and deliver EFL lessons to a high standard.
Is an online TEFL course sufficient for teaching English abroad?
For many people who are already doing a job, the in-class course can prove to be too time-consuming and for some, it could simply be out of their price range. Luckily this is not a major problem as GTA offers an online alternative as well that leads to a TEFL certificate that is widely accepted by international employers. Moreover, it also includes the practicum in Vietnam or Cambodia in a real school environment with 9 nights hotel accommodation at no additional cost so it could be the only gateway for you to teach English abroad, locally or online – in record time – and worry-free.
What will I gain from my TEFL course?
