If you are a TEFL qualified teacher looking for teaching opportunities, come to ILA. Positions are available in Hanoi from November and December. Whether you are a career-minded ELT professional based in Vietnam or looking for a new challenge overseas, you will find few opportunities to match those offered by ILA Vietnam.
Why Choose Vietnam?
Few countries can offer ELT teachers a lifestyle that compares to Vietnam as well as the opportunity to immerse themselves in a truly diverse culture. Vietnamese people are warm and hospitable and teaching in Vietnam is made extremely positive by the cultural appreciation of learning and profound respect for teachers.
The cost of living is low, which means you can enjoy a fantastic standard of living whilst still saving money. The choices of lifestyle opportunities are immense. In the daytime there is a large array of activities such as
shopping, going to the spa, seeing historical sights, or taking a day trip. You can stay healthy by playing football, going swimming, doing yoga, joining a five-star gym ($50 usd) or have a relaxing full-body massage ($4 usd).
Every night you can choose a different restaurant to dine in, from Vietnamese cuisine to one of the largest selections of international fare in Asia. If you enjoy a drink in the evening, there are plenty of bars, clubs and breweries to choose from. All of this is at a fraction of the cost of back home.
Vietnam has an extensive coastline which means the beach is never far away and opportunities for diving, surfing and other beach activities are extensive. Vietnam is also home to two World Heritage sights, Ha Long Bay and Hoi An. The Central Highlands are famous for their cool mountainous climate, numerous minority groups, and spectacular waterfalls. Furthermore, travel throughout Asia is easy; the number of reliable and inexpensive flight carriers means that there’s no shortage of choice of exciting, exotic, regional destinations, all just a few hours away.

Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching.
I find that this unit is a bit challenging for me. I thought that a lot of the grammar rules I have taken for granted because I live in an English Speaking country. It definitely expanded my knowledge about grammars. For the most parts, I thought I knew something already but than there are so many exceptions. I can speak for many English learners that grammar will be the biggest challenge for them.In this lesson, I leanrned the good choice of different types of lesson materials and course books. Authentic materials are better used for practical lessons and the students with high level. Creative materials are good for practicing specific skills for the students. Course books are useful and standardized resourse, but the teacher should consider about it and use it based on the real classroom.
