Linda Dunsmore Alumni Experiences I've taken four years of college Russian.

When choosing a certification for teaching English, three primary options emerge: TEFL, TESOL, and CELTA. Each has its own merits, and the best choice often hinges on your teaching aspirations.

Understanding the distinctions among these certifications can guide you to the right path for your educational journey and global adventures. What do TEFL, TESOL and CELTA stand for? What is the difference between TEFL and TESOL? What is a TEFL certification course? What is a TESOL certification course? Is TEFL or TESOL better? What is the difference between TEFL and CELTA?

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.

  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." Students keep asking and answering questions until they find a date when they are free to meet. This idea can also be adapted to use with past tenses. On ITTT's TESOL certification courses not only will you learn how the different tenses in English are formed and used but you will also learn interesting ways of...  [Read more]

Marketing ploy: The course itself may be free or cheap, but legitimate TEFL / TESOL certification comes at a cost. This practice is increasingly common across various online course providers. While you can access the course content for free or at a minimal fee, obtaining a certificate often requires an additional payment. Essentially, you end up paying for the certification, making the overall cost similar to that of a regular course where certification is included in the price. Hours: Free TEFL / TESOL courses often lack the necessary study hours. Accreditation: Most free TEFL / TESOL courses lack recognition. Considering the adage "You get what you pay for?.
