Definitely! Just as we expect professionals like surgeons or pilots to be trained, students expect their English instructors to be both knowledgeable and skilled. A TEFL certification ensures two primary competencies: Thus, being TEFL-certified not only bolsters your expertise but also fosters trust and credibility among students. So how can taking a TEFL certification provide this knowledge? The second major component mentioned at the start, that of Classroom skills. In conclusion: First you need to find a course that offers these components. 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 straightforward answer is no; the Chinese government mandates foreign English teachers to hold a Bachelor's degree or higher as a part of the visa application process. This requirement is in place to maintain a standard of education and ensure quality teaching within the country. Can I teach legally in China if I don't have a degree? Can I teach in China with a different kind of visa? If schools are happy to employ people without a Z visa is it really that risky? Is there any other way for teachers without a degree to work legally in China? Until quite recently the answer would have been yes, as schools in China generally don't care whether their teachers have a degree or not, and this still hasn't changed. What has changed is the government has tightened the rules on who is eligible...  [Read more]

  To be successful teaching English overseas you will need to come up with interesting teaching ideas for your students. This video from one of ITTT's online TESOL certification courses outlines a teaching idea for the present continuous when it is used to talk about future plans. In this activity students are given a diary and have to interview each other about their future plans. For example: Student A: "What are you doing on the 6th?" Student B: "I'm having my hair done."
