Why complete a TEFL CourseWhy complete a tefl course? This is a question all native english speakers desiring to make a profession in teaching English oversees should ponder. native english speakers normally learn all the basic fundamental elements of the language. As they enter high school, they begin learning how to write essays and research papers. This learning experience continues through their college years if they choose that path. With that being said even though natives have a very good grasp of the language, teaching the language is a whole different ball game. When sentence structures are formed in their minds, they aren?t thinking of parts of speech or the verb tenses they?re using; as native speakers they just know and form it automatically. But to convey this knowledge to foreign language speakers is a trade that needs to be learned and practiced. Before aspiring English teachers can teach, they must know the language and be experts of it; this is where the tefl course comes in. This course gives the native english speaker the tools to be a great teacher. It teaches the individual English grammar and the various parts of speech of a sentence. It walks the person through various teaching theories, methods, and techniques. The course explains the form and usage of the various tenses. One of the best parts of the course is that it thoroughly helps the teacher plan his/her lessons in an organized and effective manner. In addition, the course introduces the newbie to innovative and fun ways to engage the students to learn the English language. In terms of phonology, the tefl course demonstrates how to use the phonetic alphabet to structure form sounds in a systematic way. On top of the already discussed benefits of taking the course, book references and suggested classroom materials are examined thoroughly. One of the most important aspects for an English teacher teaching oversees is to know how to evaluate and test the students? level of language proficiency. The course goes over that and also the conditional and reported speech forms. This is especially beneficially when teaching students who want to learn more conversational English. Another important reason for a teacher to take a tefl course is that most English teaching positions require a tesol or TEFL certificate in order to join the language school or company. In addition to the many reasons listed above, if someone is to be a good teacher they need to be well prepared. Taking a tefl course gives the teacher a solid foundation of what the teacher needs to know in order to be successful in the field. Whenever someone takes the initiative to take a position of authority/role model/teacher they need to know it comes with great responsibility. A teacher has the ability to influence his/her students either to learn to love learning English or learn to hate it. There are other factors that will play into a student?s language acquisition and the responsibility doesn?t only rest on the teacher?s shoulder. However a good amount of that responsibility does rest on the teacher?s shoulder and they should be conscience and as best prepared to take on the task of teaching. Taking a tefl course will give direction and tools for the teacher to be successful in teaching English as a foreign language.
