help please for a newbie requiring information

feeds@yuku.com (Rach1122) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:34:11 GMT

Hi everyone,
I am a 23 year old woman who is currently living in Germany with a friend. I have only been here for 3 months and am currently unemployed. I am natively English. I am interested in teaching English here but I am so confused about what qualifications you actually need, as there are so many. I need to know exactly what teaching course you need JUST for Germany alone, as I was told that the certificates you need may vary from country to country.

At the moment, all I...

In-country TEFL classes

feeds@yuku.com (bellsie) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 07:06:49 GMT

Can I take TEFL classes in my home country before moving to Germany? I'm asking for future reference, as I'm strongly thinking of going overseas to teach in Germany when I graduate from college.

Other then the TEFL, do I need to take any additional courses? Could someone kindly give me details to what I'm supposed to do in college? I'm horrible, and I apologize for that. I mean, in regards to questions and such.

I forgot to mention that I'm only a...

CELTA equivalents

feeds@yuku.com (Bob Oboc) — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 08:11:07 GMT

I am researching various TEFL certificate programs and have found several that seem legit. How strict are the requirements of employers in requiring CELTA or Trinity? I have been told by several schools that employers regularly seek CELTA certificates and their equivalents. Would a smaller school offering a similar curriculum be widely accepted? In general I am only looking for schools that offer 120+ hours of instruction, 10+ hours of supervised teaching, 6+ hours of observation, 1:6 ratio...

Tefl certificate programs

feeds@yuku.com (Mats) — Mon, 04 May 2009 11:16:56 GMT

I am interested in obtaining a TEFL Certificate to teach English as second language part time in Bonn area. I am aware that the best training program is the CELTA Cambridge offered only in Berling and Hamburg, however, being a mother of 2 small children prevents me from traveling away from home. My questions are: Do you recommend any online teacher's training program? Is there any English schools in Bonn or Köln area offering the TEFL program? I have been searching the internet for a...

The necessity of being certified/finding a job

Hi Everyone,

I desperately need advice.

I am interested in teaching English as a foreign language in Germany but am uncertain about getting certified.

First of all, I am a (very) recent college graduate with a degree in Anthropology. I am a member of the national English Honors Society as well.
However, having just finished 5 years of college, I am also very very poor.

I have considered getting certified online for several reasons.

Hello all,

I just wanted to rack a few people's brains as I have recently fallen in love with Berlin and have decided that I would like to go over and teach English there. I am a young, university graduate and want to ensure that the training that I recieve before I go over there is of the best quality and value. I'm currently based in central London and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations? Thanks.

As well as the Cert TESOL (see thread below) we (St Mary's College, University of Surrey) offer a modular Master's programme in Applied Linguistics and English Language Teaching. This is not a distance prog., it's face-to-face over long weekends. We designed it for working teachers who would like to take a higher degree but don't have the time to stop work to do it.
The programme takes place in Rheindahlen (near Moenchengladbach) over 2 years and is taught by lecturers who come over...

TCL Cert. TESOL in Germany

feeds@yuku.com (Hirschhs) — Thu, 02 Mar 2006 17:58:54 GMT

Having read a few threads on here, I thought I'd offer this:
Trinity College London Cert TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) is recognised by the British Council equally with the Cambridge CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teachig to Adults). So there is no particular difference in terms of international acceptability. They are both entry-level teacher-training courses designed to equip new teachers with the esssential skills to begin a difficult and challenging...

PgDip TEFL - English TEFL Centre

Hi folks,

another question about TEFL qualifications - I am trying to decide which course to take to build on my current TEFL diploma and wanted to do something a bit more official and higher level than a normal TEFL course. Something like an MA in TEFL or Applied Linguistics. During my search I however found the PgDip in TEFL from the English TEFL Centre. Have any of you heard of this or even done it? I would really appreciate the feedback before I commit so much...

just joined the board after having visited for the last while. Just wondered if any of you had taken the LCCI Diploma in teaching English for Business and if so what did you think of it? Was it worth the money and the effort?

I would be grateful for all opinions.

Cheers,
