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.
