TEFL Teaching Jobs
TEFL jobs are some of the most in-demand positions for new university graduates who lack formal teaching experience, as well as for experienced ESL or EFL certified educators.
Types of TEFL Jobs Abroad
TEFL stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language. EFL teachers use their expertise as native or near-native English speakers to teach English to students of all abilities and ages.
TEFL jobs can be either full or part-time. EFL teachers can find TEFL jobs abroad at the following institutions:
- Public schools
- Private language schools
- International schools
- Universities and colleges
The types of TEFL teaching jobs available worldwide range from nursery to secondary school levels and up to college and adult level English teaching positions.
Considering teaching English online? There are also a growing number of opportunities for TEFL teachers to teach online from home.
TEFL Teacher Requirements
| Education Level | EFL teachers usually need to have a Bachelor’s Degree in any major. |
| Certification | TEFL jobs requirements often include an internationally-recognized TEFL or TESL certificate. A TEFL certificate can help aspiring TEFL teachers qualify for English teaching jobs abroad. |
| Work Experience | Previous teaching or volunteer experience, while not a necessity, is considered an asset when applying for TEFL jobs abroad or online. |
How To Be An Effective EFL Teacher
EFL teachers need to be well prepared, adaptable and possess good communication skills. EFL teachers should also be knowledgeable about grammar, classroom management and lesson planning, as well as considerate of the individual needs and cultural background of their students.
A TEFL certificate is one of the best ways to grow your EFL teaching skills and launch a successful TEFL teaching career. Qualify for international TEFL jobs by earning your TEFL certification online with OISE TEFL University of Toronto’s Faculty of Education.
