How To Get Tefl Certification In Japan

Gaining a TEFL certification online is now the most popular option among our course trainees worldwide. If you were to ask every trainee why they chose an online course you would get many different answers, but one that most people mention is the convenience of being able to complete the training from any location you choose. As long as you have an internet connection there is nothing stopping you from studying at home, during breaks from work, or while traveling. The other main benefit of online study is the high level of flexibility involved. ITTT online TEFL courses have no fixed timetable of study and no set times when you have to be online, you decide for yourself when and how much you study. It is entirely up to you.

If you plan to teach in your home country or you are yet to decide on a location, taking an online TEFL course might be a good way to start as it offers a flexible and convenient route towards certification. How does an online TEFL course work? How does an in-class TEFL course work? How does a combined TEFL course work? How will I receive my TEFL certification? If you have a specific destination for teaching in mind it is often best to head there or to a nearby location to complete an in-class TEFL course. Following this path will allow you to find a suitable job in your preferred area and you will be more than ready to start teaching as soon as your course is complete. The third option is a combined TEFL course that tackles all the theory of teaching online and then concludes with a...  [Read more]

If you enroll on a TEFL or TESOL certification course with ITTT you get to decide which acronym you have printed on your certificate. Either TEFL or TESOL is fine as they are used interchangeably throughout much of the English language teaching world. However, if you have a clear plan as to where you want to work, it is worth doing a bit of research to see which of the two is more commonly used in your chosen destination. If most employers are asking for TEFL qualified teachers in their job adverts then it makes sense to go with that option, and vice versa if TESOL certificates are more common.

While many native English speakers have learned the rules of English grammar sub-consciously as part of their language development, this does not give them the necessary subject knowledge required to teach English.

The UK, being an English-speaking nation, produces a considerable number of TEFL certified teachers who find employment in various countries worldwide.
