Jenkin James. TEFL Uncovered: How to teach your way abroad with TEFL

I-to-i, 2010 - 147 pages.

Teaching English as a foreign language is as simple as you've probably heard - you only need to speak English fluently to teach English abroad; however, understanding the global TEFL industry, as well as the most effective teaching methods, can be a bit more complex as all countries, schools, job requirements and people are different. Therefore, i-to-i felt strongly about creating a book that told you exactly what you needed to know about the industry, courses and opportunities before you dove straight in and possibly got lost!
Interestingly enough, hundreds of thousands of people have been teaching English abroad for decades with nothing more than their knowledge of the English language. But as the market has become far more competitive, requirements and restrictions have increased and peoples' general concerns have broadened. To day, understanding TEFL is not so simple and eager travellers are more than keen to understand the market inside and out.
This book will serve as a perfect guide for you to begin your TEFL endeavours. It is a truly unbiased view of the TEFL world based on our experiences (16 years!) teaching abroad and training people to teach abroad too.
