TEFL Orange County California - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ TEFL USA: 5 days ▷ combined course
Situated between the major cities of San Diego and Los Angeles on the southern coast of California, Orange County is a delightful suburban area consisting of several small cities.

Tips & Resources for LGBTQIA+ English Teachers Abroad - TEFL Blog
Linda Dunsmore
Destinations TEFL Information
Teaching abroad is an exciting and enriching opportunity for anyone, but as an LGBT individual, there are additional challenges and considerations to keep in mind. Moving to a new country means adjusting to a different culture and navigating questions about discrimination, safety, coming out, and handling public displays of affection. While there has been significant progress in LGBT rights globally, including the legalization of same-sex marriage in more countries, there is still work to be done. Therefore, finding a place to teach abroad that is accepting and welcoming to the LGBT community becomes crucial.

What is the Schengen Area in Europe and how does it affect TEFL teachers? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ TEFL FAQs
The Schengen Area, significant for those teaching English in Europe, encompasses 27 countries and hosts a population exceeding 400 million. Established in 1985, its primary goal was the elimination of border controls, facilitating seamless movement between member nations. Contrary to some beliefs, the Schengen Area is distinct from the European Union, representing a separate agreement. In its pre-Schengen days, travelers, including TEFL teachers, had to present passports at each border for entry stamps. Today, thanks to the Schengen agreement, there is an unhindered flow from one member country to another.

The Difference In Teaching ESL vs. EFL - TEFL Blog
Linda Dunsmore
Alumni Experiences
There are many similarities, but also many differences, in teaching English as a foreign language and teaching English as a second language. Teaching English as a foreign language is when you teach English in a country that does not have English as an official language. Teaching English as a second language is when you teach English to someone who speaks another language as their first language, normally in a country where English is the official language. I have taught both English as a foreign language (EFL) and English as a second language (ESL) and these two experiences had quite a few similarities and quite a few differences.

How many hours do EFL teachers teach? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ TEFL FAQs
Before we look at this question closely, we should first make an important distinction. The number of hours you teach in the classroom (often called contact hours) are not the same as the number of hours you will be expected to be in school, often confusingly called contract hours.
Next, it is important to appreciate that different teaching jobs have different typical hours. There are basically three types of jobs available.
Government and Private Schools
Corporate Teaching
Private Language Schools
Some Cultural Aspects
Most schools abroad work normal office hours so you will probably need to be in school, Monday to Friday, from 7:30 a.m. (in many Asian countries) until 4:00 p.m. This equates to around 40 hours per week. You will not have to teach for all of those hours but a typical... [Read more]
