What is a hagwon and are they a good place to work? The term hagwon is used in South Korea to describe a particular type of school. The South Korean education system has two major components, the public school system and the private school system. Many South Koreans make use of both these systems, attending the government-run public schools as normal in any country and then taking additional lessons in a private school, particularly for additional learning in subjects such as English. A hagwon is therefore a private educational institution in South Korea where students can gain additional teaching in subjects which are seen as important for their education. It is estimated that during their education, 95% of South Korean students will make use of a hagwon. As such these private...  [Read more]

What does a TEFL course focus on? A TEFL certification is a key requirement for employers of English teachers globally, with most now demanding a minimum of a 120-hour certificate. You can attain this certification through two primary avenues: in-class and online TEFL courses. In-class TEFL courses As the name suggests, these courses require you to attend sessions at a location where English is taught as a foreign language, usually for about four weeks. Given the accommodation necessity, these courses tend to be pricier, but they usually incorporate a teaching practice segment that significantly aids real-world teaching preparation.

What are TEFL standards? The concept of TEFL standards can apply to several distinctive aspects of English language instruction and training. We will delve into some of these in more detail below. Types of regulation: Accreditation and moderation Accreditation and moderation are two terms that are often mistaken as interchangeable, but they are quite different. Accreditation involves an external validation procedure, in which an authorized entity (like a university) scrutinizes the full course delivery and determines if it fulfills a predefined criteria set for that certificate level. Accreditation is usually granted once for a specific course and may require updating if there are substantial changes in the course or its content. Moderation, on the other hand, is an ongoing procedure. It...  [Read more]

Why are TEFL teachers important? We can say in general terms that all teachers are important, English teachers among them. However, the requirement for specialist teachers who are able to teach English as a second or foreign language is particularly important. What makes specialist ESL teachers so necessary? Working knowledge vs Formal Knowledge Globalized industry has led to an explosion of the use of English as the lingua franca. This trend looks as though it will continue in the near future. Whilst English is a mainstream curriculum subject in many countries, teachers of English are not necessarily equipped to teach English as a second or foreign language. Teachers trained in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) are therefore in great demand. Whilst it is generally true that...  [Read more]
