    Teach English as a Foreign or Second Language Worldwide!

  • March 18, 2011
  • Start teaching abroad right away!


    Welcome to the world of teaching English worldwide!

    Teaching English can be a cultural exchange in many ways. New discoveries proliferate for the international English teacher inside of you in every phase of life. As a teacher, you will gain a fresh perspective and even a new way of life, making new friends, learning a different language, exploring a new environment and rejuvenating a career path.
    The demand for English teachers worldwide is strong and growing as the English language markets in our ever widening global economy. If you are looking for an opportunity to make breakthroughs in different areas of your life, the potential for growth is endless! For instance, you will be able to learn first hand the importance of internationalism.

    TEFL Versus Work Abroad:

    Teaching English is a job that one can be proud of versus working your way abroad as restaurant help. Teaching English as a Foreign Language grants you the opportunity to land better positions and develop the skills necessary for promotions. Working in travel and tourism is very low paying, the jobs can be monotonous, as well as, thankless, and most opportunities are entry-level types with very little room for promotions.

    On the other hand, English instructors are looked up to by their pupils and being involved in the learning process is neither predictable nor boring. The pay scale for an English teacher can vary from place to place, but salaries are enough so that he or she is able to live comfortably and on time off can travel around. Life is to be enjoyed, having a rewarding position where results are obvious and a comfortable lifestyle filled with adventure are good ways to start.
    Holding a TEFL Certification:

    The English teaching market is extremely competitive. For instance, every advertised English teaching position is estimated to have a minimum of 60 applicants. The TEFL or TESOL certification is crucial for the developing English teaching market. Also, there are some language schools that demand college or university degrees. The higher qualifications that the teacher has, the better the job offers, benefits, and salaries will have.

    Teaching Abroad On Your Resume:

    Individuals teaching English abroad can include each job experience obtained to his or her resume which, is in itself, an impressive venture. Having the courage to move to a different country and taking such a big risk, shows potential employers that you possess huge capabilities. One of the strongest impressions that an overseas teaching position can demonstrate, is that the English teacher is not afraid of change and of being fully dedicated to a job.

    Why Take a TEFL or TESOL Course?

    TEFL/TESOL certification allows the teacher to gain experience in English teaching even before going into the classroom. Reputable courses outline all skills necessary to learn the language: reading, writing, speaking and listening. The English teacher finishes the course feeling more than capable to embark the ever changing needs of those who study the language. Career opportunities are extensive for the TEFL/TESOL certificate holder.
    Jobs can be found in private business schools, larger or small language centers, international schools, private one on one tutoring, and some public schools. Just one of the advantages of holding a TEFL/TESOL course is having the ability to apply to different countries, especially when a contract with one country is finished. TEFL/TESOL certificates are acknowledged around the world and can transfer over for use in any context and in any country.

    Who Takes a TEFL Course?

    Students of TEFL come from many different of backgrounds and have a wide range of experience. He or she is usually ready to re-charge an unsatisfying career, lifestyle, or perhaps is just ready to begin a career. The TEFL student may also be a new retiree ready to merge in work experience with travel and adventure. He or she might be fulfilling a work abroad experience essential for a university program. Commonalities amongst all studying TEFL is the willingness to change, to feed a vital interest, to grow in perception, to be courageous in learning about the unknown, and to be flexible with planning approaches.

    When to Take a TEFL Course?

    A good time to study TEFL or TESOL is completely up to the individual. It is advised, for example, when the student has a gap year to fulfill some travel aspirations before going back to more years of study. This not only merges the chance of becoming a part of a fascinating new culture, but it is also an opportunity to gain experience in a professional field. Professionals, who feel overwhelmed in their career, can take a TEFL course as a way to ease the pressure of their environment. Someone who does not feel valued in the corporate world due to lack of opportunities, would be a possible candidate for the TEFL course.

    Being TEFL certified offers the successful teacher enormous flexibility at work with any hours of choice and with independence of the corporate drone culture. EFL/ESL teaching can be a breath of fresh air for the office employee who has very little human interaction. The TEFL teacher creates his or her own terms of success!

    Teaching English in South Korea!

  • December 3, 2010


  • 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. Often termed as a hotspot there does loom some hesitancy for foreigners to live in the country due to the prospect of bad relations with North Korea.

    Therefore, there exist promising job placements for the native speaker. High education is looked upon as an important consideration in the country so there is great interest from employers in the foreigner that holds a degree and certification. Fixing up a position in advance to arriving in the country makes obtaining work papers a relatively easy task. Numerous agents exist to assist in placing the foreign teacher. There are hundreds of language schools in Seoul. The general salary offered in schools is approximately $1200 US dollars per month many will offer as well return airfare, accommodations, medical insurance, paid holidays and a bonus. Many teachers are able to save money working in Korea. The interviewing process can be done through the internet or on the phone. Going to interviews is made very easy once one has arrived because the subways in Seoul make announcements in English.


    Traveling to South Korea:

    South Korea is geographically mountainous with a range called T’aebaek-sanmaek that forms a chain due east parallel to the coast. Flat lands are concentrated on the west side of the country but don’t amount to very much area. The coastlines are known to be wild having very high tides. Many long rivers flow throughout. South Korea has dry, very cold winters with temperatures from 19 F to 33 F; the summer season is hot and rainy with temperatures from 71 F to 83 F. Rain falls heavy in the months from June to September characterized by typhoon speed wind velocity.
    South Korea has been swept into being an industrialized nation at a tremendous rate. Known as one of the poorest countries recovering after the devastation of the Korean War to becoming one of the most productive economically in a span of approximately 40 years. Government has multi-levels with a president and a prime minister in charge of a cabinet. Presidents are elected every five years. Despite some recent struggles within government factions the country has prospered. Ethnically Koreans are very homogeneous with the largest minority being Chinese. The population is estimated at 48 million people. The currency is the won which is approximately 1300 to 1 US dollar. Korean people are outdoor enthusiasts having the natural inclination toward climbing mountains.

    Teaching English in Mexico!

  • August 25, 2010
  • Teaching English in Mexico!


    If you choose to teach English in Mexico you will have the chance to experience firsthand the rich Mexican culture. Teachers are generally expected to live in the country for at least a year, and many choose to stay beyond that because Mexico is a truly beautiful place to live.


    Geographically situated in the middle of the Americas with the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico on the east side, the Pacific Ocean on the west, Belize and Guatemala to the south and finally the United States to the north. Mexico features an array of climates; tropical rainforests, volcanoes, snowy mountain tops, and famous white sandy beaches. Mexico City is one of the largest in the world; and is also the center of the country’s culture; it is a vital link for communication, industry and transportation. Mexico’s close proximity to the United States has been influential in several areas including migration, economic trade and culture. Mexican culture stems from a cohesive mix of native and Spanish colonialism.


    The Mexican revolution was very important in establishing a stable presidential government. Internal struggles in theearly 20th century had for some time upset the economic outlook of the country, but now these harder times are remarkably being worked through. Mexico has approximately 104 million people of which about 60% are mixed Spanish Amerindian and about 30% are pure Amerindian. The currency is the Mexican Peso valued at approximately 10.8 to $1 US dollar. Recently the country has shown strong recovery from harder economic struggles.


    Religion plays an important role in the country and as is the case with all of Latin America, family is the number one priority. Mexican food is distinguished in style as being mainly composed of wheat or corn tortillas, beans, meat and chilies although there is quite a variety of delicious dishes available. Many modern pastimes are the same as in westernized countries; however soccer is the country’s most treasured sport. City life although very colorful and interesting does not draw in tourists to the country as do the sun and surf of the beaches.

    Acapulco is the most long standing glitzy of all resorts in Mexico. Filled with high rises, lagoons, rain forest and a throbbing night life. There are many outdoor activities to explore including cliff diving if one dares. A visit to the art gallery where there is a large handicraft market is recommended. The city hops along at full speed at night with some of the best night clubs featuring all types of music. Mexico City is teeming with crowds, sites, museums, and keeps the visitor fascinated at all times. Jacaranda trees; ones with big violet colored flowers are in full bloom in the months of February and March which is a good time to visit the city before the hotter months. Shopping is heaven in the city where markets with local handicrafts can be found in any number of locations.


    Local people are considered very polite so the integration process is very easy and made even easier if the foreigner can learn some Spanish.

    Finding a job:
    Those who plan to teach in Mexico should not plan on being hired before they arrive. Please note that we, at ITTO, can guarantee a teaching position or job placement in Mexico if you are a native speaker and have a college degree!

    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.
