While a TEFL certification is not a teaching license it can help to prepare you to teach English online as a Foreign language.
A teaching license is issued to teachers by their state or provincial issuing body and certifies them to teach in schools in their home country. A TEFL certificate prepares individuals of all experience levels to instruct students in English in the foreign language classroom.
A TEFL certificate prepares teachers to adapt their teaching across different subjects (not just English) for instruction to English Language Learners (ELLs). What is commonly referred to as “academic English” is becoming a requirement for foreign language students looking to attend English-speaking colleges and universities.
A TEFL certificate trains you to teach English to students living in a non-English-speaking country. This means you can teach English language learners online or in-person. There are a multitude of different options out there: check out our country comparison chart to help you narrow down your search!
A TEFL certificate is a requirement for most international teaching jobs abroad. Even in cases where a TEFL certificate is not specified as a requirement, it is always noticed by international employers and could be the distinguishing factor between you and other teach-abroad candidates.
