For Americans planning to teach English abroad, obtaining a criminal background check is often a critical part of the job or visa application process. Countries like South Korea, a major hub for foreign English teachers, mandate this check for securing an official work visa. Likewise, various nations and schools have similar prerequisites. Typically, the most frequently sought-after background check for American teachers is the FBI's Identity History Summary Check. Although locally-sourced checks are also accepted, the FBI's version is more universally recognized but may have longer processing times.

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences All people are susceptible to boredom and confusion. Either of these or their combination can lead to frustration. Once frustrated, a learner will find it exponentially more difficult to grasp or retain new information. The student's mind will be elsewhere, unmotivated and uninterested. Therefore, an instructor should make it a priority that each and every student can not only understand the created material but be interested in it as well. Materials for learners with different interests Teaching materials for younger learners Teaching materials depending on the topic Where to find useful materials?

The simple answer is no, you do not need to have any knowledge or experience of languages other than English to take a TEFL course or to become an EFL teacher. The ability to speak other languages is not required as the vast majority of TEFL classrooms around the world rely on the communicative approach to English teaching that specifies that English is the only language used in the classroom. How can I teach English if I don't speak the student's language? Does it help if a teacher has learnt a foreign language? Should I learn the local language while teaching English abroad? In a diverse EFL classroom, where students may hail from varied linguistic backgrounds, speaking one or two native languages isn't always beneficial. In fact, in monolingual settings, students might lean...  [Read more]

Mark Crocker Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas When a new teacher goes into a classroom for the first time they are confronted with the reality of human students, rather than what they have learned about teaching from a book. Often what they find is that much of what goes on does not necessarily follow their carefully planned lesson, as real life and the unpredictability of human nature can get in the way. Perhaps only after a couple semesters of experience can a teacher really figure out what to do with all levels of students to help build self-confidence in a skillful manner.

When writing a TEFL/TESOL CV it is important to make sure that the information you provide is relevant to being an English teacher. There is no need to go into detail about past jobs unless they involved teaching or training. The first things an employer looks for in an applicant are that they have the right qualifications and whether they have any teaching experience. Therefore you should make these easily visible on the first page of your CV. When it comes to listing your employment history you should only go into detail about past employment if you were involved in teaching or training, otherwise you can just list the job title, dates and company name. Correct spelling and grammar is important in any CV but it’s even more important when applying for a job as an English...  [Read more]
