What you need to know about teaching English abroad

June 16, 2020 | by Nqobile Mdima

You need to be fluent in English to teach English abroad.

You can teach English abroad even if you are not a native English speaker. There are countries and TEFL employers that require native English speakers. There are also other countries and TEFL recruiters that don't. Make sure you go to countries where you will live and work legally.

Depending on where you want to teach, a degree might or might not be required.

You don't need teaching experience to teach English abroad. If teaching experience is required, some countries accept a TEFL certificate from candidates who don't have prior teaching experience.

The minimum and maximum age requirements for teaching English in most countries is 18-60. But the age requirement varies across the world.

Get TEFL Certified

June 13, 2020 | by Nqobile Mdima

A TEFL certificate is your ticket to teaching English abroad. TEFL stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language. During your TEFL program you will be trained how to teach English to non-native students. The TEFL certificate is required by the school and government. In China for example the government will not issue you a work visa to legally teach English if you don't have a TEFL certificate or two years of teaching experience. When you enroll for a TEFL course make sure that it is delivered by an accredited provider and it leads to a regulated qualification. It must also be a minimum of 120hr.

You can get your TEFL certificate from any of these institutions:

1. itoi TEFL

2. The TEFL Academy
