If you are interested in teaching English to non-native speakers, Varsity Tutors can enroll you in Madison TEFL certification training that can help you work towards your academic and professional goals. TEFL refers to Teaching English as a Foreign Language, particularly to students in countries where English is not the primary language. A TEFL certification opens up opportunities for native or fluent English speakers to teach English abroad in all corners of the world. It prepares you to plan lessons for foreign language learners, refresh your own understanding of the English language, and give you the tools that you need to teach English in a classroom setting in a foreign country. A TEFL certification is required or highly preferred for certain job opportunities, and those with a certification tend to have higher salaries than those who do not.
To become TEFL certified, you don't need to possess a degree in education or prior teaching experience, but getting hired in some countries will require you to have a four-year university degree in addition to a TEFL certification. Other countries might only require the certification itself. Most TEFL certification courses do require you to have a high school diploma or a GED, fluent English skills, and the ability to complete a university-level course that incorporates extensive reading, homework, quizzes, lesson plans, and student teaching. Internationally recognized standards hold that those with a professional-level TEFL certification need to meet standards such as 100 hours of coursework, between six and 20 hours of practice teaching and observation with non-native English speakers, and an accredited curriculum from a recognized organization within the education field.
There are many different avenues for obtaining a TEFL certificate through various organizations, each of which has its own requirements. Certification can be earned by taking lessons in person or online in as little as a few weeks. That doesn't mean the process is easy; you may find that a TEFL certification program requires as much or more effort as completing a college course at the Madison campus at the University of Wisconsin.
Since the process of earning a TEFL certification can be so challenging, it can be in your best interest to enroll in a Madison TEFL certification course if you are planning to become certified. These courses are overseen by experienced instructors who can lead you and the other students in in-depth lectures and discussions that cover material that could be relevant to the certification process. They can also teach you valuable time-management skills and give you an idea of what you can expect from teaching English in a foreign country or provide you with some one-on-one help if you ever feel like you need it. Collaborating and studying with your fellow students can also give you some valuable insight into topics and scenarios that you might not have encountered in your training and experience. Being able to go over the required course material with others can help give you a better understanding of subjects that may have been giving you trouble. Since the course is entirely online, you can also participate in study sessions from anywhere you have a reliable Internet connection, whether that is in your own home, at a public library, or from your favorite coffee shop.
Teaching English as a second language can be a rewarding experience, and Varsity Tutors can enroll you in the Madison TEFL certification training that can help you work towards your own TEFL certification. To find out more about how you can enroll in a Madison TEFL certification class, contact Varsity Tutors today. We will be more than happy to answer any questions that you might have.
