Basic TEFL Qualifications

This page sets out to answer some of the most common questions about requirements and qualifications for anyone interested in a TEFL/TESL career.

Is there an age limit for TEFL?
People of all ages teach English. Indeed, many trainees in TEFL certificate courses have retired from their traditional professional lives. Schools often favour more mature teachers who can perhaps bring the benefit of business or professional experience to their lessons. Many people have started a second career in TEFL in middle age.

Do I need to be qualified to teach EFL?
Qualifications are not always essential, especially in certain parts of the world and for certain schools. In some countries, simply being a native speaker of English is enough. In others, a university degree in any subject, without any teaching or English qualifications, will suffice. Having said that, there is no doubt that a recognised TEFL qualification of some kind will open more doors, more rapidly, in more countries and at higher salaries. It will also be of practical value to you personally - not to mention your students - in giving you the confidence, skills and experience that will put you at ease in a classroom.

Can I teach EFL if I am not a native speaker?
Everything depends on your level. If you are bilingual or of near-native level, you can enrol in TEFL courses and teach EFL just as any native speaker. If your level is lower than this, you may be able to teach but only within your own country or in more remote parts of the world.

Can I do a TEFL course if I am not a graduate?
Yes. Although many centres require candidates to have a university degree in some discipline, it is equally possible to find others where the only requirements are a good command of English and a good educational background.

What qualifications are there for TEFL?
No single, standard international TEFL qualification currently exists. In North and Central America and much of the Far East, the most important qualification is a good first degree. In the European Union, the British Commonwealth and much of South America and Central Europe qualification means having passed a 70-hour TEFL course (including observed teaching practice) and often, but not always, having a university degree in any discipline.

Although various TEFL courses exist, those that are validated by external bodies, such as the Cambridge/RSA or Trinity College, London certificates, are usually preferred.

Cambridge/RSA Certificate (CELTA)

This certificate course is often considered to be the reference for TEFL qualifications and is widely respected internationally. The full name is the Cambridge/RSA Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults. This replaces the previous, equally respected, Certificate in Teaching of English as a Foreign Language to Adults (CTEFLA). CELTA places great emphasis on teaching practice. With over 8,000 enrolments worldwide per year, CELTA is clearly the most popular TEFL course among teachers. It is externally validated by the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate (UCLES).

CELTA courses are usually 4-week intensive programmes although it is sometimes possible to take the course on a part-time basis. In all CELTA courses, observed teaching practice is an important and integral part of the programme.

Entry requirements for CELTA courses vary somewhat from centre to centre. Although the course is open to native and non-native speakers, all candidates must be interviewed and take a language awareness test. Some centres require candidates to be graduates while others accept candidates with a good general education and command of English.

There are more than 200 centres offering CELTA courses in over 40 countries around the world. In all cases, Cambridge/RSA offers a job placement service to qualifying candidates. The course cost varies from about £500 to £1,000 ($800 to $1,600) depending on centre.

Trinity Certificate in TESOL

About 4,000 candidates annually qualify for the Trinity College London Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. The Trinity syllabus is strictly controlled with basic requirements common to all validated centres. All trainees are, for example, expected to experience learning a foreign language.

The course may be full-time, usually following a 4- to 6-week intensive programme with 130 tuition hours, or part-time over a number of months. In many Trinity centres, it is possible to take a short, presessional course as an introduction, while some centres also offer a correspondence module in addition to the main programme.

Entry requirements vary between a good educational background and a university degree, with a good command of English obviously being a prime requirement. No distinction is made between native and non-native speakers.

Most Trinity Centres are in the UK although there are now a growing number overseas. The course cost varies from about £500 to £1,000 ($800 to $1,600) depending on centre.

Other TEFL courses

There are various other TEFL-related courses, some of them preparatory, some specialised, some run by chain schools who wish to train teachers in their own particular methods. Short, introductory courses can be useful to help you decide whether TEFL is for you or in the event that you cannot afford a full certificate course. Specialised courses (eg business English or neuro-linguistic programming) are useful for experienced teachers who wish to develop their careers.

Where can I find details of TEFL courses?
One of the best sources is the ELT Guide, published annually by the EL Gazette. For an online listing of TEFL and TEFL-type courses worldwide, try the TEFL Course Database at TEFL.NET.

Where can I find work once I have a certificate?
Again, the ELT Guide has a marvellous listing of schools throughout the world, presented country by country. For classified advertisements, you can look at jobs offered and jobs wanted at TEFL.NET ESL Jobs or the ESL Jobs Board. The EL Gazette has monthly listings in its paper journal. The Times Educational Supplement, the Guardian and many other newspapers carry announcements. For schools in individual countries, check out the English Club ESL Webguide.

'Kick back'

Meaning:To 'kick back' is to relax and enjoy your free time. It may come from the idea of putting your feet up and taking off your shoes. You can also use the idiom in the form 'kicking back'.

Example: 'I'm just kicking back with some friends watching the ball game.'

Warning: Don't confuse this idiom with 'kickback' which is spelled the same way but has no space between the words. 'Kickback' refers to a bribe or payoff. 

'Look out!'

Meaning:This is a very useful phrase to know! You can use this phrase when you want to warn someone. If there is immediate danger, yelling ‘Look out!’ will alert everyone to the danger. For example, if someone is crossing a street and a car is coming down the street at a high speed, you might yell, ‘Look out!’

English Phonetic Spelling

Sometimes wrongly called the
International Phonetic Alphabet

When speaking on the telephone, it is sometimes useful to spell a word using English Phonetic Spelling. To spell "Club", for example, you would say: "C for Charlie, L for Lima, U for Uniform, B for Bravo."

It is very easy to learn English Phonetic Spelling. Start by spelling your name, then your company or address. Soon, you will know the whole alphabet. It also helps to remember that there are several groups of words that go together:

• Dances: Foxtrot, Tango
• Shakespeare: Romeo & Juliet
• Men's first names: Charlie, Mike, Oscar, Victor
• Cities: Lima, Quebec
  
  
  

  A	Alpha	J	Juliet	S	Sierra
  B	Bravo	K	Kilo	T	Tango
  C	Charlie	L	Lima	U	Uniform
  D	Delta	M	Mike	V	Victor
  E	Echo	N	November	W	Whisky
  F	Foxtrot	O	Oscar	X	X-ray
  G	Golf	P	Papa	Y	Yankee
  H	Hotel	Q	Quebec	Z	Zulu
  I	India	R	Romeo

  
  
  
  

  According to the International Phonetic Association, the above list is sometimes wrongly called the "International Phonetic Alphabet".

  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Tips

Tips on Studying a Foreign Language

Learning another language is not easy, but most people can learn a second language IF they are willing to put in the necessary time. Here are some practical suggestions for studying effectively, overcoming anxiety, and learning the grammar and skills necessary for success in foreign language classes.

1. STUDY EVERY DAY! A foreign language course is different from any other course you take. Language learning is cumulative: you cannot put it off until the weekend. Study 1 or 2 hours for every class hour if you want an A or B.

2. DISTRIBUTE YOUR STUDY TIME in 15- to 30-minute periods throughout the day. Focus on a different task each time: vocabulary now, grammar next, etc. Get an overview during the first half hour: spend 10 minutes reviewing dialog, 10 minutes learning new vocabulary, 10 minutes learning new grammar...so you'll at least have looked at it all. Approximately 80% of your study time should be spent in recitation or practice, including practice in the language lab.

3. ATTEND AND PARTICIPATE IN EVERY CLASS--even if you are not well prepared. Class time is your best opportunity to practice. Learn the grammar and vocabulary outside of class in order to make the most of class time. Spend a few minutes "warming up" before each class by speaking or reading the language.

4. MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE IN THE CLASSROOM. Get to know your classmates, so you will feel you are among friends. Visit your instructor during office hours to get acquainted: explain your goals and fears about the course to your instructor.

5. LEARN GRAMMAR IF YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW IT. Grammar is the skeleton of a language, its basic structure: you must learn it. Review a simplified English grammar text. Compare new grammatical structures in your foreign language to their English equivalents.

6. PRACTICE FOR TESTS by doing what you will have to do on the test. If the test will require you to write, then study by writing--including spelling and accents. If you will be asked to listen, then practice listening. Ask for practice questions; make up your own test questions. Invent variations on patterns and forms. Over-learn: study beyond the point of recognition to mastery.

7. DEVELOP A GOOD ATTITUDE. Have a clear personal reason for taking the class. Set personal goals for what you want to learn. Leave perfectionism at the door; give yourself permission to make mistakes and learn from them.

8. GET HELP IF YOU NEED IT. Talk with your teacher. Form study groups among class members. Use tutoring services. Don't wait!

READING and WRITING a foreign language are analytical skills. You may be good at these if you are a logical person who attends to detail. Train yourself through practice to notice and remember details such as accents and gender agreement.

READING SKILLS TIPS:

1. First, read the vocabulary list for the assignment. Next, read the questions about the reading. Then read all the way through a new passage two or three times, guessing at meaning from context. Avoid word-by-word translation. It is a waste of time!

2. Isolate new vocabulary and study it separately. DON'T write between the lines! Make flash cards. Carry them with you and recite them several times during the day at odd moments. Overlearn them until they are automatic.

3. Isolate new grammatical forms and study them separately. Write the pattern on a flash card and memorize it. Write out and label a model sentence. When you encounter the form while reading, pause and recite the pattern to recognize the form.

WRITING SKILLS TIPS:

1. Pay attention to detail: notice accents, order of letters, etc. Compare letter-by-letter different forms (singular, plural, gender, etc.). Write out conjugations of verbs, declensions of pro-nouns, etc., and check your endings. Memorize irregular verbs.

2. To master spelling, have a friend dictate 10 words to you. Write them out and immediately have your friend spell them correctly aloud while you look carefully and point at each letter. Repeat until you get all the words right.

3. Write (in your own simple foreign vocabulary words) a story you have just read.


LISTENING and SPEAKING are performance skills. You may do well at these if you are naturally outgoing. Students in foreign language classes often have difficulty hearing and speaking because they are anxious about making mistakes. It's OK to make mistakes! Have fun trying to speak!

LISTENING SKILLS TIPS:

1. Frequent the language lab. Read the exercises in your book first; then listen and read together; then listen without looking at the print. Say aloud/write what you hear.

2. Participate silently in class when others are called on to speak. Focus on the task; don't worry about how you'll do.

3. If you feel nervous, relax yourself physically by taking a couple of slow, deep breaths. When called on, pause, relax, and give yourself time to respond.

4. Listen while a friend dictates to you and write what you hear. Check for accuracy.

5. Practice: join language clubs, watch foreign TV, listen to foreign radio.


SPEAKING SKILLS TIPS:

1. Study out loud! Mimic the sounds of the language. Don't mumble. Although most people feel embarrassed making strange sounds, the language will soon feel more familiar to you.

2. When called on in class, say something, even it it's wrong: you'll learn from it. If you need a moment to think, repeat the question. If you don't know the answer, say in your foreign language, "I don't know" or "help!"

3. Practice with a foreign student who wants your help to learn English or with another class member.

پدر یکی از بازدید کننده های این وبلاگ و دوست  خوب من ساناز یه عمل قلب داره.بیاین همه باهم براش دعا کنیم. بیاین دعا کنیم همه ی بیمارها شفا پیدا کنن.همه بیمار ها خوب بشن.به امید چنین روزی.

آسمان آبی عزیز:

به من هم حق بده.من فکر میکنین بیکارم.من نظر شما رو دیده بودم. و نظرات بقیه رو. ولی یه کمی سرم شلوعه. به خاطر همین فقط چند تا طلب که از قبل آماده کرده بودم اونا را گذاشتم.

من نزدیک دانشگاه علم و صنعت جایی رو سراغ ندارم که به شما توصیه کنم.

 نظرم رو در مورد اون کتاب خواسته بودی خوب کتاب خیلی خوبیه.فقط همین رو میتونم بگم. اگه اونو خوب یاد بگیری تو امتحان آی ال تی اس شرکت کن.روی هر کتابی یعنی پشت جلد هر داستانی نوشته که این چه سطحیه.

طرز استفاده صحیح از نوار کاست( قابل توجه تمام زبان آموزان):

وقتی کتاب داستانی رو همراه با نوار کاست ان تهیه میکنید کتاب داستان را نباید باز کنیدو نباید بخوانید.اول نوار کاست آن را در دستگاه پخش خود قرار دهید. سه بار باید به آن گوش کنید. بار اول: تصر کنید به موسیقی گوش میدهید. بار دوم: این بار کمی با دقت گوش کنید.بار سوم: در عین گوش کردن سعی کنید به خاطر بیاورید در بار اول و دوم چه چیزهایی را متوجه شدید و چه چیزهایی را نه. آن مورد هایی را که نتوانسته بودید متوجه بشید سعی کنید در بار سون متوجه بشید.

و بعد از سه بار گوش فرا دادن به نوار کاست داستان مورد نظر بار چهارم کتاب را باز کرده وبخوانید. این بار هم دقت کنید چه مواردی را گوش کردن متوجه شدید و چه چیزهایی را نه. این راه به شما کمک میکند تا سطح استعداد شنوایی انگلیسی خود را دریابید.

This world is so cruel

For the girls and the boys

For the kids and the leaves

For the winners and the losers

For the lovers and the haters

But it is somehow beautiful

When your heart beats for another heart

When you share with, all the beauties

When you create with, dreams to follow

When you talk with what you cannot say to others

When you laugh with, all the funnies

When you cry with, all the sorrows

If you put a step forward,

You will be the one.

پاسخ به سوالات

سلام دوستان خوب و یاران این وبلاگ.

قبل از اینکه به سولات پاسخ بدم باید از همتون تشکر بکنم به خاطر لطفی که به این وبلاگ دارین.میدونم این وبلاگ کم و کسری های زیادی داره ولی با این حال شما خیلی بهش لطف دارین.به خدا اگه فرصت بیشتری داشتم میتونستم وقت زیادی رو وبلاگم بزارم و کامل بنویسم. مرسی از همتون.

. میدونم تو این وبلاگ از هر چی مینوسم هی از این شاخه به اون شاخه میپرم  میدونم زیاد جلب نیس اما خب من بر حسب نیاز خواننده ها مینوسم. بعضی ها دوست دارن اصطلاح یاد بگیرن اینا کسانی هستن که سطح مقدماتی رو پشت سر گذاشتن و در سطوح بالاتری قرار دارن – بعضی ها میخوان گرامر یاد بگیرن- بعضی ها میخوان مکالمه رو خوب یاد بگیرن- چون بیشتر از من درخواست کردن اصطلاح بنویسم برا همین من هم زیاد رو اصطلاح و ضرب المثل کار میکنم.- دوستای عزیز عزیزانی که به وبلاگ من سر میزنید بهم بگین نظرات خوبتون رو. – وقتی شما نظر نمیدین من وقتی از نتایج کارم بی اطلاعم تصور میکنم که همه تلاش هایی که کرده ام همش بیهوده بوده و هیچ نتیجه مثبتی نداشته و این خیلی ناراحتم میکنه-

یه تشکر ویژه از دوست خوب سهیل. سهیل شروع خوبی کرده. کتابی رو که من گفتم تهیه کرده و میخواد انگلیسی رو خوب یاد بگیره. : سهیل مطمئنم با کمی پشتکار و تلاش خیلی زود میتونی به نتایج مثبتی  برسی.

حالا بریم سر سوالاتی که پرسیده شده:

اول آقا وحید(و ...):

لطفا دقیقا بگین چه داستانی رو براتون بفرستم.ببینین من گفتم اگه دنبال چیز خاصی میگردین بهم بگین بفرستم.اسم داستان و اسم نویسنده لازمه. اونم گفتم نویسنده های قدیمی و مشهور مثل "سر آرتور کانل دویل" یا " شکسپیر". و اینم اضافه کنم که من اصل آثار رو دارم. و مفهوم اونا سخته . چون خیلی از اونا مال قرن 19 یا بیست ه. و انگلیسی قدیمیه. شاید این سوال براتون پیش بیاید که  " خوب همه مجموعه(مثلا) شرلوک هلمز رو گرفتم و خوندم و خیلی آسون بودن.چرا میگین مفهوم اونا سخته؟" چون که اون ساده شده اند. اگه روی جلد اونا رو ببینین روشون نوشته: “ simplified”

 

آقا یوسف:

من به همه سه نوع کتاب معرفی میکنم که یکی از اونا رو خودم بیشتر دوست دارم و اونو به همه توصیه میکنم. ولی شما هر کدوم دوست داشتین استفاده بکنین. سی دی و کاست هم دارن.

1) New American Streamline

2) New Interchange

3) Headway

من خودم اولین گزینه رو به همه پشنهاد میکنم و خودم خیلی از این کتاب خوشم میاد.

 

آسمان آبی:

به روی چشم.اصطلاح ها رو زیاد میکنم. در ضمن میدونی چرا معنی اون لغت رو نمیدونی؟؟؟ فکر کنم املاش رو غلط نوشتی.

این لغت رو کجا دیدی؟؟؟؟ مطمئنی املاش درسته؟ اینی که شما نوشتی وجود نداره.

احتمال میدم یکی از این لغات باشه:

Hence: as a consequence, therefore, for this reason, from now, in the future

Hens: domestic fowls of either sex

آقا میثم:

 فکر کنم پاسخ اولی ( وحید) جوابه شما رو هم بده.

 

مریم :

من مترجم نیستم. و کلا از این کار خوشم نمیاد به خصوص از ترجمه داستان و شعر و نمایشنامه. چون ارزش کار نویسنده رو از بین  میبره. اگه متن شما کوتاه است و داستان و شعر و از این جور چیزا نیس و همینطور اگه یه متن تخصصی نباشه برام بفرست سعی میکنم وقت بزارم روش کار کنم.

 

و دوست عزیزی که اسمشون رو ننوشته اند:

اولا که شما یه غلط املایی دارین. درستش اینه: Favorite

ثانیا اینجا یه لغت است که چند تا معنی داره.

Rockers: 1) a person who performs, dances to, or enjoys rock music, belonging to a subculture characterized by leather clothing, riding motorcycles, and liking for rock music.

2) A rocking chair, chair built on two curved pieces of wood enabling it to rock back and forth.صندلی متحرک صندلی که زیر آن دو ته چوب متصل است که باعث میشود صندلی به جلو و عقب برود.

3)  a curved bar or similar support on which something such as a chair can rock-a rocking device forming part of a mechanism.

4) The amount of curvature in the longitudinal contour of a boat or surfboard.

 که من فکرکنم شماره دو معنی موردنظر باشه. ولی شما خودتون بخون این معانی رو.ببین من که نمیدونم این جمله رو کجا دیدی. این معانی رو بخون ببین کدون یکی معنی مورد نظره. به نظر من شماره دو درسته. اگه بدونی کدوم یک از معانی برا این لغت اینجا مورد نظره اونوقت میتونی کل معنی جمله رو متوجه بشی.

آقا پژمان و سرور عزیز:

دقیقا بگویید به چی نیاز دارید؟ اسم نویسنده و اسم اثر

slang

سلام-

در پاسخ به سوال امین, دوست خوبم این فقط مشکل شما نیس. خیلی از زبان آموزان دچار این مشکل میشون.

 خب راه حلش اینه که شما مطالعه زیاد بکنین.داستان های کوتاه به زبان انگلیسی بخونین. معانی لغاتی که نمیدونین از فرهنگ لغت استفاده کنین. در فرهنگ لغات برای هر لغت جمله هایی برای مثال مینوسن تا خواننده بدونه که این لغت چگونه در جمله های مختلف  چگونه  بکار برده میشه. اون جمله ها رو بخونین حفظ کنین. یه زمانی ما در مقدماتی برا اینکه لغات رو یاد بگیریم برا هر کدوم جمله درست میکردیم.امتحان کنین شاید برا شما هم کار بکنه. فقط باید زیاد مطالعه کنین اخبار , مقاله, داستان , .... اینو یادتون باشه انسان هر کاری که اراده بکنه به اون میرسه.یادگیری یه زبان خارجی و هر چیز دیگه خیلی سخته.اگه اراده کنین و پشتکار داشته باشین مطمئن باشین موفق میشین.

برا همتون آرزوی موفقیت دارم.

در ضمن یه چند روزی رو با خانواده مسافرت میرم.

هر کس اصل داستان های نویسنده های بزرگ و قدیمی مثل شکسپیر رو لازم داره و میخواد؛ در قسمت نظرات آدرس ایمیل خودش رو بده و نام داستان و نام نویسنده رو بگه تا من براش داستان رو ایمیل بفرستم.

دوست عزیز علیرضا در پاسخ به سوال شما راه حل های ذیل را پیشنهاد میکنم:

1)      ثبت نام در یکی از آموزشگاه زبان انگلیسی

2)      استفاده از کتاب , سی دی, کاست

3)      استفاده از شبکه گسترده اینترنت

من همیشه به هر کس که میخواد انگلیسی یاد بیگره توصیه میکنم در یکی از آموزشگاه های معتبر محل سکونتش ثبت نام کنه.معمولا بیشتر اشخاص میگن که

فرصت و وقت این کار رو ندارن. نمیدونم الان شما در چه سطحی هستی مقدماتی؟ متوسط؟...؟ کسی که در سطح مقدماتی قرار داره من به اون شخص توصیه میکنم حتما در یکی از آموزشگاه های معتبر محل سکونتش ثبت نام کنه. ولی کسی که مقدماتی رو پشت سر گذاشته اگه اراده کنه میتونه خودش مطالعه کنه و پیشرفت کنه. مهمترین و اصلی ترین چیزی که هر شخص برای یادگیری یک زبان خارجی نیاز داره فرهنگ لغت کامل است.سخت ترین کار شروع است. دشوارترین قسمت یادگیری حروف الفبا ست. شما وقتی حروف الفبا رو یاد گرفتین دشوارترین بخش رو پشت سر میگذارین.بعد از هر امکاناتی که دسترسی دارین استفاده کنین تا هر روز یه لغت جدید یاد بگیرین یه نکته گرامری تازه یه اصطلاح جدید و .... .

مطئن باشین انسان هر کاری بخواهد میتواند انجام بدهد.

اگه فقط اراده کنین و تلاش خیلی راحت میتونین به چیزهای زیادی برسین چیزهای زیادی رو یاد بگیرین از جمله زبان شیرین انگلیسی را.

من چند تا کتاب معرفی میکنم میتونین بدون شرکت در کلاسهای زبان خودتون مطالعه کنید و هر روز شاهد پیشرفت خودتون باشید.

برای یادگیری لغت پیشنهاد میکنم داستان های کوتاه بخوانید. به هر لغت جدیدی که بر میخورید در فرهنگ لغت معنی اون را پیدا کنید و اون لغت را یاد بگیرید.

برای تمرین لغت مجموعه زیر را توصیه میکنم:
