How TEFL schools abroad work?

Posted by James Sheppard on August 9th, 2018

There are many TEFL schools abroad and more institutes are opening to produce English teachers that can prepare students going abroad for higher studies. There is need for more learning institutions that can produce certified teachers. But the institutes have to be duly accredited from the authorities. Also, the schools should provide a launching pad to the budding teachers. If you want to make a career in TEFL teaching then you have to start with a course.

Why do I need a course for teaching English?

English is an international language hence included in every academic curriculum. You could be good in English but it isn’t your first language. You use this language only when necessary like when working. English as a second language might be helpful in finding a small job but it won’t help, if you want to go for higher studies in a foreign university. You will have to be proficient in English language in order to get admission in a course of your choice.

The TEFL schools abroad train English teachers in preparing students going abroad for higher studies. The tutors train students in using English as their first language so that they can become eligible for enrollment in universities and colleges of international repute. Foreign universities and colleges enroll students that can use English as their first language. And the foreign colleges take a language test of students.

What language test do students need to pass?

Foreign colleges and universities ask students looking for higher studies to pass a language test. The test determines language efficiency of students. The test results show whether the students would be able to use English as their first language. Students that pass the test are enrolled in the courses of their choice. But it is a difficult test as its objective is to test efficiency and not knowledge.

All the TEFL schools abroad produce English teachers that provide training to students. While most schools are duly accredited many institutes are working without any accreditation. But it is for the teachers to make sure that they join accredited institutes only. And it is easy to find an accredited institution. You can easily check accreditation number of the institute you want to join on its website.

Graduates with good academic background and a passion for teaching can become TEFL teachers. And their job would be to prepare students going abroad for higher studies for the language test they need to pass.
