TEFL stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language. People who are certified in TEFL teach English to non-native speakers in places where English is not the primary language. Sometimes, you can teach English within English speaking countries, say in a language school, for example, but most teaching jobs are found in a student’s native country. It is in a student’s native country that TEFL Southampton is employed within state school systems, by freelance teachers and private language schools. Teachers can be both native and non-native speakers. Although there are dozens of organisations which offer TEFL certifications, if you are interested in becoming an English as a foreign language instructor, you want to make sure the place you receive your instruction is one that is internationally recognized. There are many TEFL Southampton schools with such a designation. You also want to make sure the school you are attending has a program to help you find employment after graduation, even if the employment is voluntary work. Working in a voluntary situation such as at a charity is a great way post-graduation to ‘get your feet wet.’ You can teach for as long as you feel you need the experience, and such teaching looks good on any resume when you are actively searching for paid employment. Once you do get a job that pays, the pay rate depends on how long of a contract you sign, your experience in teaching and who the employer happens to be. Other factors come into play, as well, such as if you will be teaching in a dangerous or threatening region and the economic status of the country you are placed. It is important to compare the pay you are being offered to the cost of living where you are teaching. Sometimes, what seems to be a stipends of pay can actually allow you to live quite well in certain parts of the world. Currently, the best paying jobs for graduates of TEFL Southampton courses is in the area of the Middle East. There is a tremendously high demand for qualified English classes there as is in Taiwan, South Korea and Japan. Before you accept any job, make sure you research the company offering you the contract and the country in which you will be working to make sure you are not putting your safety at risk. Talk to the school administration where you received your TEFL training to find out what information they have about the integrity of the company looking to hire you. Once you feel confident you have fully vetted out the organization for which you will be working and the region in which you will be teaching English, be prepared for an exciting career teaching and helping others while you yourself learn about parts of the world you would otherwise have access to, all thanks to TEFL Southampton.
