Teaching English in China:

Teaching demand in Hong Kong is very high. Teachers are needed for medical staff, tourism operators and of course all areas of business. Eastern and Western culture differ in many ways. Native speakers are especially revered for authentic western cultural knowledge...

Teaching English in South Korea:

The learning of English takes place mainly in the business context used as a practice to maintain usage and fluency. Many Koreans need conversation classes after having returned from being educated abroad. Private institutes as well as public schools, have a demand for native speakers as English is rather compulsory at the lower levels as well...

Teaching English in Thailand:

 As an English teacher in Thailand, you will plan and deliver quality lessons, promote the general progress and be a positive role model. Most of the positions for foreign teachers are mainly for large periods of time. Non-native English speakers with a native-like English level are welcome to apply!

Teaching English in France:

Unlike other countries where advanced qualifications are required, the French are more likely to hire native English speaking teachers based on other credentials. For example, you do not need a BA in order to apply for our French job offers, but you do need baby-sitting or tutoring experience to qualify for our programs and a High School Diploma! 

Teaching English in Mexico:

Prospects for teaching opportunities abound in the cities of Guadalajara, and the capital Mexico City. It is possible to find work in some smaller remote communities; however, pay scale and resources will be lower. Fully certified individuals can make up to $1,200 US per month salary with benefits. Cost of living is fairly low especially outside Mexico City.

Online vs Onsite TEFL Course

June 3, 2010

One Goal, Two Methods

Our online TEFL TESOL courses and on-site TEFL TESOL courses are geared to achieve a similar goal in two very different ways. The goal is to make you the most effective and most qualified English language teacher that you can be. Achieving that is done in our online course through a combination of interactive technology and experienced, technically savvy tutors. In our on-site program, it is achieved by immersion in a great program with excellent teachers. They both come down to two main things – cutting edge methodology and sincere, professional people who are concerned about your progress. ITTO´s courses are recognized by schools and language institutes across the globe.

There Is No Best Way

Just as our on-site course does, our online course will give you all of the basic theoretical and practical knowledge you need in order to become an excellent TEFL instructor. The main difference is that our online course is designed for busy people who may not be able to travel away from home for a month and commit to a full time on-site course. There is really no 'best' way to learn how to be a teacher – it all depends on your individual needs and professional goals.

Cost Vs. Benefit

In deciding whether you should take an online or on-site TEFL TESOL certificate course, you need to consider what you are willing to spend, whether you want to become a full time or part-time TEFL instructor, and the amount of time you have available to travel. It is definitely a cost/benefit proposition. On-site training does have some very tangible benefits. Schools such as ITTO provide the opportunity to teach actual students of English as part of the course, with 10 observed teaching practice sessions (which is even more than the international requirement of 6). In addition, the concentrated learning experience you can obtain by being immersed in an intensive learning environment for a full month is unmatched. However, these benefits have a higher cost in both time and money. Many other TEFL providers do not include a grammar module or will charge for this separately.

The Course Content Is Similar

As a general rule, the online TEFL TESOL course contains more theory than the on-site TEFL TESOL course since it is completed via the Internet as distance learning with no actual teaching in a classroom environment. The on-site course is more practical (hands-on) by its nature, as it includes 10 individually observed teaching practices and uses a more comprehensive, immersion approach. The basic content is actually quite similar in both courses. The minor differences are generally caused by the different medium of teaching. Online educational technology experts have designed the online course making sure that it is not simply a 'repackaged' course that was meant to be taught in person. Instead, it uses its medium to the maximum potential to reproduce as close as possible the results of the original course. Both courses will provide results, so you need to weigh the cost/time and other factors to determine which is best for your personal situation.

Our Reputation Is Long-Standing

Whether you choose the online or on-site option, it is imperative that you choose a well-known and respected school that is affiliated with solid industry organizations. An employer will accept your certificate based on what school has issued it. ITTO has a long-standing solid reputation for its on-site TEFL TESOL courses and is considered to have one of the best programs. The online market for these types of courses is much newer, yet ITTO’s reputation for its on-site programs definitely creates a 'halo effect' for our online programs. Potential employers know that ITTO holds all of its programs to the highest standards and employs only the best instructors, so they correctly assume that we hold our online programs to those same stringent standards. 

Flexibility Is A Key Factor

A major reason that many people decide to take the online TEFL TESOL course route is flexibility. While you need to put aside a month of your life and drop everything from work to family for the on-site program, our online program is an interactive self-study program that can be undertaken at your own pace. There are 140 hours of content, so you can work for a modest 10 hours a week (2 hours per weeknight) and finish in 3 - 4 months. Or, you can spend just a few hours a week and finish in 6 months or up to a year. We will not charge for a six month course extension, in the event that you need one. Whatever suits your schedule – as there isn't a set time limit for completing each part of the course. However long it takes you to complete the material, your online tutor is always available to answer your questions and guide you to completion.
