What is an online TEFL course?

UPDATE: This post was updated and placed here.

An online TEFL course is an online course that you take to help you teach English abroad. If you are thinking of teaching English as a second language abroad then this is a course that you could take to help prepare you.

There are also in-class courses that you could take too.

But an online TEFL course is often done entirely online. And I’ll mention some of the benefits later.

What do you learn in an online TEFL course?

You will study the various aspects of teaching English abroad. For example you may study how to teach:

phonics

vocabulary

conversation

reading

writing

speaking

listening

grammar

In addition you may learn:

various teaching methods

how to manage your classroom

public speaking

What is an online TEFL course like?

Here’s a look inside at the syllabus.

After you pay, create an account and log in you can start to study. The first thing that you will find is a course outline.

So you can start with topic 1 and then bit by bit move through the course.

Do you see topic 2 “teaching methods” is greyed out? 

That’s because you have to successfully complete the topics before it and attain a grade of 80% or higher. 

Is this TEFL course hard?

No, and don’t worry if you make a mistake you can do it again until your grade is high enough.

Then you see that you will study:

public speaking

learning styles

lesson planning

In topics 6, 7, and 8 you will learn:

presenting language

teaching listening

teaching writing

In topics 9-12 you will learn:

teaching reading

teaching speaking (super important!)

teaching phonics

grammar

Hey what happened to topics 13 and 14?

Ohhh...

I guess we’ll say it’s a secret^^.

In topics 15-17 you will study:

classroom management

resume writing

culture shock and then finally you take an exam and...

attain certification

Yay!

You did it.

What does some of the course content look like?

Here’s a section from teaching speaking.

And then you answer follow up questions like this...

Sometimes the questions are true or false and sometimes they are multiple choice. Some sections even have video tutorials.

What are the benefits of this online TEFL course?

All courses aren’t the same and I can’t speak for all courses, but...

it’s a quick course

it’s a cheap course

you can study at your own pace

you can study where and when you want (it’s convenient)

you can add this certification to your resume to help you get a job!

It’s very flexible for you and you will have 1 month to complete the course. 

Is 1 month enough time? 

It’s plenty.
