Teaching English as a Foreign Language
The Global Volunteer Network is proud to announce a partnership with Global English. They offer Professional Courses in TEFL (Teaching English as Foreign Language) by Distance Learning. Global English was established in 1996 to provide innovative distance learning courses to help teachers get started and further their careers in TEFL. They have recently attained ISO 9001 accreditation which underlines their commitment to quality. All Global English tutors are qualified EFL teachers with international experience and they are on hand to offer help or advice during your course.
:: Who is this course for?
This TEFL course is for those who wish to start teaching around the world. Whether you are completely new to teaching or are already a teacher and wish to learn more about TEFL methods, this certificate is designed to be of practical use to you in the EFL classroom. TEFL Certificate enrollees should either have a degree in any subject or university level entrance qualifications ('A' levels or equivalent). Consideration will be given to mature applicants who possess significant life experience e.g. in teaching, business, languages or with young people.
They welcome applicants whose first language is not English. However, non native speakers should possess a high level of written and spoken English and/or English language qualifications, such as C.A.E. or C.P.E. Should your application not be accepted, the applicant can expect a full refund and explanation.
