Waves are crashing around as their feet sink into the wet sand and they take a deep breath of the salty air. They didn't think it would be possible to travel anywhere or experience anything outside of their country before they retired, but here they are in Spain at the age of twenty-two. They were able to do this because they decided to get a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification and teach English abroad. There are many reasons someone may decide to work toward this certification. One reason is to be able to travel the world and support themselves anywhere they would like to go.

The Importance of Evaluation and Testing in an Educational System - TEFL Blog
Mark Crocker
Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas
Although evaluation and testing are considered to be a 'necessary evil' by some teachers and students, it is quite absurd to call them so. Evaluation and testing should never be seen as 'evil', although they are certainly 'necessary' within a properly functioning educational system. It can be argued that no serious study is possible without evaluation and testing as they are surely the best way of judging the capabilities and progress of a student, and a serious motivation for reaching new goals.

For Americans planning to teach English abroad, obtaining a criminal background check is often a critical part of the job or visa application process.

Contributing to the Classroom as an ALT in Japan - TEFL Blog
Asia Ridley
TEFL Information Alumni Experiences
English education in Japan has been prominent for decades and starts in elementary schools. It is in high demand as the relationship between the U.S. and Japan as well as the abundant amount of tourism. Last year straight after graduating from university in the United States, I moved to Japan and began teaching English. I was fortunate to pass the interviews and become part of the Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme {JET}. Being an assistant language teacher {ALT} in the Japanese education system versus a conversation school has its differences. Therefore I will be diving into how one can contribute to the classroom as an ALT.

The Dependence of Teaching on Students Motivation - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
A highly motivated student is one who is goal-oriented, driven by passion and focused. He/she does things from the bottom of the heart. Motivation can be viewed as an internal impulse that brings us to complete an action. Without motivation, there is no action. Motivation is what moves or inspires the learner to achieve set objectives. It's the motor that drives the student to achieve pedagogical objectives. Hence it's an essential tool to equip students with, so that whatever they do it effectively and with perfection.

A Day in the Life of an ALT on the JET (Japan Exchange and Teaching) Programme - TEFL Blog

Destinations TEFL Information Alumni Experiences
The unofficial motto of the JET Programme is 'every situation is different (ESID).' This is completely true, and every JET's day looks different depending on whether they work in a public or private school, whether they have co-JETs or are solo, their teaching partner's style, and the school's schedule. I teach in a private junior and senior high school in central Tokyo, where students are aged 12-18. The following is my own experience, but every ALT's (assistant language teacher) experience on the JET Programme is vastly different.
