What is the Schengen Area in Europe and how does it affect TEFL teachers?
If you plan on teaching English in Europe you might have come across something known as the Schengen Area. This area is currently comprised of 26 countries with a combined population of over 400 million people. The area was set up in 1985 with the intention of removing border controls to make moving between countries hassle free. The Schengen Area should not be confused with the European Union which is a separate institution. Before its creation you would have to show your passport at every border to receive an entry stamp, while now anyone including TEFL teachers can move freely from one country to another without any restrictions.

What is the Schengen Area in Europe and how does it affect TEFL teachers?
The Schengen Area, significant for those teaching English in Europe, encompasses 27 countries and hosts a population exceeding 400 million. Established in 1985, its primary goal was the elimination of border controls, facilitating seamless movement between member nations. Contrary to some beliefs, the Schengen Area is distinct from the European Union, representing a separate agreement. In its pre-Schengen days, travelers, including TEFL teachers, had to present passports at each border for entry stamps. Today, thanks to the Schengen agreement, there is an unhindered flow from one member country to another.

How English as a Mother Tongue influences Foreign Language Acquisition
When I chose this topic, I asked myself what a foreign language is. Is it just a language spoken in another country that's not similar to one's own? Or does a language spoken in another city or district in one's country qualify as a foreign language? According to Wikipedia, a foreign language is originally from another country than the speaker.

Why Complete a TEFL Course? - Is it really helpful?
For me, the decision to take a TEFL course was one that I had not planned on at any time in my life until recently. English to me was never my strongest subject in school. As an American growing up I found my personal education experience to be fairly mundane and unrewarding. The courses that I enjoyed more were math and science, especially physics. These topics seemed to hold my interest better. Traditional school was never a priority to me, but an understanding of how things work and why is what captivated my interest.

The Difference In Teaching ESL vs. EFL
There are many similarities, but also many differences, in teaching English as a foreign language and teaching English as a second language. Teaching English as a foreign language is when you teach English in a country that does not have English as an official language. Teaching English as a second language is when you teach English to someone who speaks another language as their first language, normally in a country where English is the official language. I have taught both English as a foreign language (EFL) and English as a second language (ESL) and these two experiences had quite a few similarities and quite a few differences.
