What is <strong>TEFL</strong>?<br />

Teaching English as a Foreign Language (<strong>TEFL</strong>) involves teaching the English language<br />

to non-native speakers. This can take place in a variety <strong>of</strong> settings, including schools,<br />

language centres, online lessons and home tutoring. You can also travel abroad to<br />

another country to teach English; making <strong>TEFL</strong> your passport to earning money overseas.<br />

At least 1.6 billion people are learning English right now, and this number is increasing<br />

every day. <strong>TEFL</strong> is a rapidly growing industry, and opportunities for <strong>TEFL</strong> teachers are<br />

expanding as more people want to learn English for study and work purposes.<br />

In order to become a <strong>TEFL</strong> teacher, you need to be properly qualified. <strong>The</strong> minimum<br />

standard for most entry-level teaching positions is a 120 hour <strong>TEFL</strong> certificate.<br />

However, to ensure the best global opportunities, the <strong>TEFL</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Ireland</strong> <strong>of</strong>fers<br />

the internationally-recognised course that leads to a Level 5 <strong>TEFL</strong> Certificate (180<br />

hours). Regulated by Ofqual (the UK government), this course is the equivalent <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Cambridge Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers <strong>of</strong> Other Languages (CELTA) and<br />

the Trinity Certificate <strong>of</strong> Teaching English to Speakers <strong>of</strong> Other Languages (CertTESOL).<br />

Teaching English to non-native speakers can expand your international employment<br />

opportunities enormously. Because <strong>of</strong> the demand for learning English around the<br />

globe, it’s a highly flexible career that enables you to travel and work abroad in different<br />

countries. For this reason, it’s becoming an increasingly popular option for people <strong>of</strong> all<br />

ages with a passion for education who are seeking to challenge themselves further and<br />

take their teaching knowledge and skills overseas.

Who can do <strong>TEFL</strong>?<br />

While many <strong>TEFL</strong> teachers have education backgrounds,<br />

many have no teaching experience whatsoever.<br />

Anyone can be a <strong>TEFL</strong> teacher with dedication and<br />

the right qualification.<br />

You’ll find you’re suited to a <strong>TEFL</strong> career if you:<br />

Have a passion for the English language: its<br />

grammar, sentence structure, etymology and<br />

interesting quirks.<br />

Love teaching and sharing your knowledge with<br />

others.<br />

Are adept at digesting complex topics into easyto-understand<br />

language.<br />

Feel confident interacting with people <strong>of</strong> different<br />

ages.<br />

Are open to making connections with people from<br />

different countries and cultures.<br />

STUDENT FEEDBACK<br />

Want to travel the world while you work.<br />

A <strong>TEFL</strong> qualification will equip you with all the confidence<br />

and skills you need to make it in the industry,<br />

but if you have these qualities to begin with, you’ll already<br />

be one step ahead.

why do a tefl internship?<br />

THE TOP 7 REASONS TO DO AN INTERNSHIP<br />

26<br />

1.<br />

you’re not tied to it. <strong>The</strong> beauty <strong>of</strong> an<br />

internship is that it runs for a short<br />

period <strong>of</strong> time - usually one semester -<br />

which means you’re not locked in. You<br />

could choose to go travelling after you<br />

finish, or complete several internships in<br />

different countries. <strong>The</strong> possibilities are<br />

endless.<br />

4.<br />

enhance your career prospects. Undertaking<br />

an internship shows commitment and<br />

dedication. Employers will regard your<br />

experience highly, and recognise that<br />

you’re someone who doesn’t just love<br />

to travel, but is also serious about their<br />

career. It’s a great addition to your CV<br />

that shouldn’t be underestimated.<br />

Our philosophy at the <strong>TEFL</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Ireland</strong> is that travel is one <strong>of</strong> the best educations anyone<br />

can receive in life. Being exposed to different cultures, environments and ways <strong>of</strong> doing things<br />

helps break down boundaries between people and provide life-changing experiences you’ll<br />

treasure for the rest <strong>of</strong> your life.<br />

A <strong>TEFL</strong> internship is a great way to get practical teaching experience while also getting the<br />

opportunity to travel the world with other first-time teachers. In the process, you’ll increase your<br />

career prospects, have incredible life experiences and improve your confidence teaching English.<br />

<strong>The</strong> best part is that all the paperwork and logistics is arranged by us. We’ll sort out your<br />

accommodation, travel arrangements, salary and other details - so you can focus on getting<br />

excited about your trip. Our team are all experienced travellers and <strong>TEFL</strong> teachers, so we can also<br />

give you our tried and tested advice on all things teaching abroad, from what to pack to what<br />

attractions to visit in your destination.<br />

2.<br />

3.<br />

it’s a stepping stone. To land your dream<br />

<strong>TEFL</strong> job, you need to have some<br />

practical experience under your belt<br />

to make your application stand out to<br />

employers. That’s where an internship<br />

comes in. <strong>The</strong> practical teaching<br />

experience you’ll gain and the teaching<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>essionals you’ll meet during your<br />

internship make it a gateway to an<br />

amazing <strong>TEFL</strong> career.<br />

test the waters. An internship is also a<br />

great way to try out English teaching<br />

and see if you enjoy it - and if so, which<br />

aspects <strong>of</strong> it you enjoy most. You might<br />

discover you really enjoy teaching<br />

primary aged kids, or that you much<br />

prefer teaching English to adults. You<br />

won’t know these things until you get<br />

out there and do it, which an internship<br />

gives you the opportunity to do without<br />

being locked in for a long period <strong>of</strong> time.<br />

5.<br />

6.<br />

7.<br />

benefit from a network <strong>of</strong> tefl pr<strong>of</strong>essionals.<br />

While doing a <strong>TEFL</strong> internship, you’ll<br />

build up a network <strong>of</strong> fellow <strong>TEFL</strong><br />

teachers and pr<strong>of</strong>essionals in the<br />

education industry who can help you<br />

land jobs down the line.<br />

be exposed to different career options.<br />

Teaching isn’t the only career you<br />

can pursue in the <strong>TEFL</strong> industry. An<br />

internship can be a great opportunity<br />

to find out more about other roles in<br />

marketing, education coordination or<br />

administration.<br />

have the experience <strong>of</strong> a lifetime. finally,<br />

A <strong>TEFL</strong> internship will be an experience<br />

you’ll never forget. Not only will you<br />

build your confidence teaching English,<br />

you’ll make new friends from all around<br />

the globe and fully immerse yourself in<br />

another culture, giving you memories to<br />

last a lifetime and transferable skills you<br />

can take with you to any job anywhere<br />

in the world.
