Why complete a TEFL courseThere are many reasons why someone would want to take a TEFL course. Some people have dreamed of being english teachers since they day they were born and some people simply dont know what they want to do for their career but want to travel or try something new. The latter may not seem like the best reason to take a TEFL course, but, many times, it just may be the change in career they are looking for. For whatever reason, taking a TEFL course for anyone interested in teaching english, in my opinion, is a great idea. I went to school to be a police officer and have worked a variety of jobs, from working in a jail with hardcore criminals to putting together pool tables. No job I have worked has appealed to me enough where I may have said to myself I could see myself doing this the rest of my life. I have worked with juveniles in the past, and so far, that is the job I have loved the most. Working with kids and helping people is something I think I might want to do the rest of my life, so this is the main reason I took a TEFL course. I also enjoy traveling and trying new things, so a TEFL course seemed like a no brainer decision for me. Aspiring english teachers may have taken many courses in college relating to teaching english, so they may not need to take a TEFL course. I know not every country requires their english teachers to have a TEFL certificate, but I think to be fair to the students, the teacher should take a TEFL course. Yes, sometimes just having a native english speaker in a classroom with non native english speakers will produce some english from the students, but the teaching methods and techniques taught to you in a TEFL course can change your perspective on teaching students. A TEFL course can make a rookie teacher feel like they have already been in an english learning classroom already. TEFL courses give you the information you will need in a classroom to teach every level of english learner. The course will give you the basics on how to teach english to students by using reading, writing, speaking, and listening activities. A TEFL course prepares you for almost every situation that may happen in an english learning classroom and gives you the confidence you need to have a successful english learning classroom. Because a TEFL course refers to all language levels of english learners, once an english teacher finds what age group or subject matter they want to teach, they may want to take a more detailed course pertaining to their specific teaching interest. Another reason to complete a TEFL course is the ever changing economies and job markets. There are so many countries throughout the world that need english teachers and there are more job openings in some of these countries that there are applicants. With the struggling economy and high unemployment rate in the usa and other native english speaking nations, it may be the right time for someone interested in teaching english overseas to take the leap and enroll in a TEFL course. For anyone that enjoys teaching and traveling, this may be the next step in your life, and who knows- it may be the final job you ever have. I havent started teaching english in the classroom setting yet, but I feel very confident in my abilities and knowledge of the english language after taking a TEFL course. As soon as I start my first english teaching job, I know I will use the resources and teaching methods the TEFL course gave me. I know nothing can be more helpful than experience, but since I dont have experience I think I have done the next best thing to prepare myself for teaching english-by taking a TEFL course.
