However, the residents are eager to master the language. This is why the demand of EFL or TEFL trained teachers is quite high in these nations. The countries where professionally certified English teachers are desired are UAE, Mexico, Japan and China. It would be wrong to assume that these TEFL courses are hard to cover. A person needs to have a strong command over the grammar. The payments in these jobs are quite decent and moreover a TEFL teacher gets facilities like paid international travel. The global language schools in various nations have their rules for selecting foreign trained English teachers to impart English teaching in their countries. As a matter of fact, Teaching English Abroad is a lucrative career option these days. The TEFL certification is the gateway to a new life. This certification is offered in various parts of Australia like Sidney, Adelaide, and Brisbane. However, the TESOL certification gives an edge in teaching English. It is offered by various TEFL training schools in the USA as well as TEFL training overseas. One can also get a TEFL certification online. There are a number of websites that offer people with the required resources for teaching English in those countries where it is a second language. These online courses can be generally covered in half a year. However this is subject to the skill of a student. The certification is gradually becoming a de facto standard for qualifying in the ESL Jobs. The TEFL Teachers from Australia, UK and North America usually enjoy higher recognition and reputation. The certificates awarded by UK based English institutions carry more weightage. One can expect to bag a plum English teaching job if he successfully completes a TEFL course having 120 hours duration. Even though there are institutes that offer short term and online courses it would be better to opt for a full fledged course as it can make the ESL job prospects widen up. It would be a nice idea to take the feedback of those people who have finished a course and got a teaching job thereafter. The pay packages of TEFL tutors vary from one country to another. The experienced teachers draw more salary. However, on an average the compensation packages are satisfactory. Other
Slide 2: factors like the economy of the country, density of population etc also matter. However a person needs to keep in mind that since there is no regulatory body for this certification the chances of fraud can not be ruled out. Therefore a person should check the credentials of an institution, both online and offline, before enrolling for its English teaching training courses. While applying for jobs in a country a person should go through the terms and contracts carefully.
