 Hi, welcome guys. Linda here from ITTT for another live session this week. I'm so happy to be here today. The weather is great. Today the lighting is good. If you were watching last week, yeah, it was pretty much like the end of the world weather here. It suddenly turns super dark and I don't have a light or anything, like a ring light.

But yeah, let me add this here to the stream so we know what's happening for people who are joining later. So we are doing a Q&A. So that means you have the opportunity to ask me questions about teaching English abroad, teaching English online, about ITTT, about Tefl courses and TESOL courses and all of that good stuff. So this is what we're doing today. And I also prepared, like I said, a couple of questions that I found that most people ask online and that we at ITTT get asked a lot. So I want to clarify those questions. And then we can start having a conversation and you have the opportunity to ask your questions. And please don't be shy. Don't be quiet. This is there is no stupid question. I don't want this to be quiet. It's really important that you ask questions today. So it's not just me sitting here and talking, you know, I've worked during my life sessions. I love hearing from you guys and hearing what you have to say and learn from your experience as well, because I know a lot of people here already have teaching experience and you are Tefl certified and you also have something to add to this conversation here. Some of you guys are already ITTT grads, which is awesome. And some people are not yet. So we can have this conversation and share our experience and our knowledge together today. I hope that sounds good. Yeah, first off, let me know where you guys are in the world at the moment. Where are you watching from? What time is it there? And how are you doing? How are you doing? I'm doing pretty good. It is 10 a.m. Friday here in South Korea. I live about an hour and a half south of Seoul in a city called Chungju. And yeah, that's where I am today. I'm originally from I was born and raised in Germany, near Munich about an hour from Munich. And my mom is German and my dad is American. And from a really young age, I was super interested into foreign languages and growing growing up in Europe. It's so easy to travel around. So I've always been interested in different countries in different languages. And that's sort of how I got into finding opportunities to go abroad. And I learned French and Spanish in school. And then I was looking for something different. And I was torn between Japanese and Mandarin Chinese. And then I opted for Mandarin. And that's how sort of I ended up in China. And then also in South Korea. So I'm all about Asia. You're also gonna see that when you go to my personal Instagram and also my personal website is the same lindegoseast.com. It's basically a, yeah, a site about traveling in Asia and hidden gems, but also must see popular places all around Asia. Nowadays, a lot of Korea content, obviously, a lot of China content, but also Southeast Asia content. And also my Instagram, you can see, I actually just got back from a trip to the South of Korea, really like the coast down down in the coast in the South. It was really, really beautiful. So you're gonna see a lot of that content coming up soon on my Instagram. So check that out. And then yeah, Juliana's still in Illinois. Great. So Juliana says I'm watching from Illinois. It is 810 here. So Thursday, right? Thursday, 810 p.m. I assume. Awesome. So what time difference does that make? 10 hours? I think, I think 10 hours. Maybe not. No, it's more than that. I'm really bad at this. Anyway, it's a big time difference. Okay, cool. Then I appreciate you guys. Thanks for leaving your comments. So I want to start off with a question that we get quite a lot. And a lot of people are confused about this. So that's what I want to talk about this first. And that is, what is the difference between TEFL and TESOL? Right? Because we hear the two terms all the time. Also, if you look on our website, we always mention TEFL and TESOL. So a lot of people are asking, what's the difference? Which one should I get? You know, what's the deal with those two acronyms? And basically, so TEFL stands for teaching English as a foreign language. And TESOL stands for teaching English to speakers of other languages. So when we break this down, it basically comes down to the same thing, right? Teaching English as a foreign language or teaching English to speakers of other languages. So those terms basically mean the same thing. And that's why also the training, whether you get TEFL or TESOL training, the training involves the exact same components. You're going to learn about classroom management. You're going to learn about lesson planning. You're going to learn about English grammar. You're going to learn about the different types of students, different types of teacher functions. Yeah, a lot. You're going to learn a lot about a lot. But the same content, whether you're taking a TEFL or TESOL course. So at ITTT, what you can do is you can decide whether your certificate at the end should say TEFL or TESOL. So you you're flexible with that. And the reason for that is that some regions in the world and that is so some regions of the world use prefer one term over the other. So basically, Europe and I believe Australia, South Africa, they tend to use the term TEFL more. Whereas the US and Canada, they tend to prefer the term TESOL. But they are the same, right? So it just depends on where you're from. You might hear TESOL more or TEFL more, but the training is exactly the same. And so we give you the option to choose. Do you want your certificate to say TEFL or do you want it to say TESOL? So you can decide based on where you're from, you know, what the people where you're from are more used to hearing, more used to using. So it's going to depend on that. But yeah, that is the difference. Just wanted to mention that right of the bat today. Because we do get a lot of questions about that. And yeah, I think that's really great. So my certificate, I can show you real quick. My certificates. This one is the 120 hour certificate. And so I chose TEFL on it. So you're going to see. I hope you can see that. Yeah. So here where it says, no, here where it says the ITTT 120 hour TEFL course. So here you can choose either TEFL or TESOL. But as you can see the top here says international TEFL and TESOL training. So that's what ITTT stands for ITTT international TEFL and TESOL training. So no matter what, you're going to see the both terms on your certificate TEFL and TESOL. That's very important. Because we do get a lot of questions about that. So I just wanted to let you guys know so that there's no confusion from the start. Okay. But I maybe most of you knew this already, but just making sure. And then another question we also often get is do TEFL or TESOL courses expire or basically do the certificate expire? So we also get this question quite a lot. And I just wanted to show you again, this is a certificate, what it looks like. And it says when you completed the course, when you achieved your certificate, there's no expiration date. So TEFL certificates do never expire. They never expire. And one other great thing that you will find on your certificate is this unique number right here. And what you can do with this number is or what basically it's used for employers or schools. And what they can do is they can take this number and punch it into our website to verify that this certificate that you show them really is a accredited ITTT TEFL or TESOL certificate. Because typically what you will do when you apply for a teaching position, you won't actually send in your physical certificate in your application. You will apply online. So you would send in a PDF, right? And PDFs are easy, easier to fake. And so what the employer then can do to make sure that you're not sending him a photoshopped certificate, they can punch in this number to make sure that this is a real certificate that really you took the course and you earned it and you are really certified. So that's the purpose of that. But TEFL or TESOL courses, they never expire. However, there's obviously always changes happening in the TEFL or TESOL industry. So that's why we also always sort of add new courses to our portfolio or to our range of courses that you can then take and add to your portfolio, if that makes sense. So about a year, almost two years ago, we introduced the teaching English online course because of all the transitions to teaching English online. And then that's when a lot of people took that specialized course as sort of an add on. So obviously that's what you can also do. But they never expire, but it's never a bad idea to get more certificates to add them onto your portfolio to stay up to date with the teaching community and what's happening in the teaching world. And also, actually Lisa, my co-worker, she talks about that quite a lot. There's a lot of online course platforms online course platforms like Coursera, Udemy, places like that that offer free courses. Also a lot of teaching related courses that you can take to sort of stay up to date on what's happening in the teaching world. So those are always really recommended as well. Oh yeah, Juliana says it's a 14 hour time difference. Yeah, my bad. Not 10 hours. Thanks, Juliana. Good. I think I wanted to mention one more thing I forgot now about the certificate. Okay, yes, I remember now. So I said, remember I said when you apply typically you would apply sending in your PDF, you would apply online. However, for some countries, and this is especially true for China, when you apply for your Chinese visa to go to China to teach, you actually need to go to the embassy to give them all your paperwork and one of the requirements to get your teaching visa in China is a Tefl certificate. So there you would actually give them your original and they would check it and make copies of it. And that's why this is also important that this number because this number they would also use and then verify if this is a real Tefl certificate. Just wanted to mention that. So it's not true that you only need your PDF version. Obviously, you also going to need your paper embossed paper version of the certificate as well, depending on where you go. But just for applying to your job, you know, to a teaching position, you're not going to send them originals. And there was actually a live session that I did a couple of weeks ago about all the documents that you need when teaching English abroad. So I highly recommend checking that out. I'm going through all the different documents, the certificate, obviously, but also things like what was it like passport, obviously passport, criminal background checks, reference letters, a resume and the differences in like a Tefl resume and things like that. So check that out. It's in our playlist. And yeah, good. So that was the second question that I have prepared that a lot of people are asking. And please feel free to at any time if a question comes to your mind, just to type it into the comment box so that I can see it. And then I'll be happy to answer that as well for you. And another question that we get or that I see a lot online when I do, you know, market research or just when I'm online and I search for Tefl and stuff, what is the best Tefl or T Sol certification program, right? We see this a lot on different platforms, you know, Reddit or Quora or who answers places like that. And, you know, this question is really hard to answer because it just depends on what your goal is, what you want to do with it, you know. So if, for example, you want to just go abroad, you want to go abroad to teach, you know, for just a year, you know, nothing long term, short term or even shorter than a year, then, you know, it's going to be a different, we would recommend a different kind of Tefl certification program compared to somebody who wants to, who knows exactly like, oh yeah, I want to go to Dubai and stay there for five years and, you know, work for an international school, like this is, it's going to depend on what your goal is. So it's very hard to say what is the best Tefl certification program, but there are a lot of options and that's why it's really important for you to take the time has so many of your doing listening to our different live sessions, looking at our website and obviously not only our website, our other Tefl providers websites as well, to then make an educated and smart decision for what fits best with your needs and what I'm here for and also my colleague is here for to help you guide you through that decision making process, right, to help you find the best possible Tefl or T sole certification program that fits with your goal and your needs and qualification background and things like that. So at ITTT and most other Tefl course providers, we offer three different types of courses, so that is online Tefl courses, in-class Tefl courses and combined Tefl and T sole courses. So at the moment, obviously in class is a little bit difficult in class courses, what that means is you would go to an actual Tefl school, usually in a location of your choice abroad in a different country. We have over 30 different locations available. Some of them obviously are closed at the moment or they do not accept or you can't like travel there. So it's it would only be for people who are already in the country. Some locations are open. So if you're interested in that, check it out on the website. We have detailed information for every different location. So that's one option and you would spend four weeks at that center and you are basically like in a classroom, you're learning all about teaching Tefl the theoretical parts with a other you know, other group of teacher trainees and the teacher trainer is an experienced professional teacher who's been teaching English for a lot of years and he is or she is going to teach you how to teach as well and you're also going to have the opportunity to teach real English students in that training center. So that is the in-class option. The online option is the most popular option because it's just so flexible, so easy to do from anywhere in the world from the comfort of your home and you can study at your own pace. You don't have to go anywhere. So that's why online courses are really, really popular. And you know, a couple of years ago, it was like only in class courses are accredited or are like what matters. But nowadays, it's really shifted and in class and online are really on the same level in terms of the certificate. And also when you look at again, when I show you the certificate that I have, this is also from an online course and it does not say online on the certificate anywhere. It just says 120 hours up here, 120 hours. So it doesn't say that you took this course online either. And then the combined option basically combines online within class. So first you would complete a theoretical part online at your own pace. And when you've completed that, then you can go to a training center for between five and 10 days, depending on the location and get your teaching practice component there. So those are the differences. All right. OK, I have a couple of questions here. So let's see. OK. Javier, does ICOES give some kind of support on your certificate? OK, ICO. I need to check what that is. Hold on. ICOES. ICOES. OK. So our certificates, I see that this is a accreditation institution. OK, so our courses, they are accredited by OTTSA. OTTSA, and I'm going to which is basically the same thing as that what you've mentioned. So let me just show you this one. Our online courses are accredited by OTTSA, which stands for the online Teflon and T-cell Standards Agency. And I've just pulled this up on the website. It says the online T-cell and Teflon Standards Agency is a professional educational organization dedicated to raising teacher training industry standards, specifically online courses in the teaching of English as a foreign language. OK, so that is what our courses are accredited by. So check that out for more information. Highly recommended. We also have a accreditation tab on our website where you can also find out our other partnerships and accreditations because there's more than just OTTSA. So yeah, check that out. And then Juliana says the online class would be the best option for now. I think so too, because it's just difficult and unpredictable. But hopefully soon, you know, in class is going to pick up again. And actually, we had someone watching another regular watcher for our live sessions, Brett. I don't think he's here today, and he's actually going to Rome to do his in class Teflon course very soon, too. I think in July. So some locations are definitely open, but it's also going to depend on, you know, your nationality or where you live, if you are able to travel there or not. So that's, you know, it's going to depend on that. They're not all closed being class centers, but it's definitely a little bit more difficult. Yeah, so awesome. And then another question that I want to talk about that we also get lot is, can I teach English without a Teflon or TESOL qualification? So this is, again, not an easy yes or no answer because it also is going to depend on where you want to teach, right? So, for example, if you wanted to teach English in Korea, where I am, a Teflon certificate is not an official requirement for to obtain a visa, for example. So a lot of schools that do just hire people even without any Teflon or TESOL qualification, it is definitely possible. And there are many, many other countries like that. However, then there's also countries that I always like to compare with is China, where when I taught in China back in first 2012 and then 2014, I taught there a Teflon certificate was not an official requirement, but now it is a requirement to get that teaching visa, that work visa that you need to live and work in China. So things are changing all the time. And also China is the biggest market for teaching English as a foreign language. It has the most amount of schools, the most amount of job openings than anywhere else in the world, and a Teflon certificate is a requirement there. So if you want to go to China, the answer would be no, you cannot teach English in China without a Teflon or TESOL qualification. And even for countries like I mentioned here in Korea, it is not a requirement. However, I was Tefl certified, qualified. And that's why I got hired at a better school in a better neighborhood or a better city. And I earned a higher salary right from the start compared to people who were not certified. And also, so that's one point. But the other side is also what if you, you know, now in Korea, it's not a requirement to be Teflon or TESOL certified. But what if it will be, you know, in a year or two? So you never know, things are changing all the time. So like I said, when I was in China first, it was not a requirement. And then now it is. So I think that having a Teflon certificate is definitely going to be you're going to be on the safe side. It like it only has benefits. There are no real drawbacks to it. Of course, the financial could be a drawback. But like I said, with a Tefl certificate or TESOL certificate, you're usually going to earn a higher salary. So then you're going to get that money back anyway that you spent on a Tefl course. And also, so that's the other thing, right? Just having this certification and piece of paper in your hand. But the other side of Tefl, which is also super important and then a lot of people just don't really recognize is that a Tefl course really teaches you how to teach, right? Because we as either native English speakers or also learners of English, we don't really know how to teach. We know how to speak English and we know probably a little bit about the grammar. Some people might not even, especially native speakers. We don't really think about the grammar, right? So that's why I think a Tefl certificate is even more important because you learn how to teach, you learn how to manage your class. And what I think is the most important part of a Tefl course is that it explains the most important parts of English grammar. And also not only that, but it shows you exactly what most English learners are struggling with when it comes to English and how to deal with those problems. So how can you deal with, you know, people are struggling with this particularly grammar point and then how what can what can you do as a teacher to get your point across and teach effectively? Because I think there's nothing more embarrassing or just hard when you're in a classroom full of students and they don't understand what you're saying. You're trying your hardest to explain something, but they just don't understand, right? It's not a good feeling that you want to be in. It also looks bad probably in front of your co-teacher and your employer. So you don't want to be in that position. That's just my opinion. All right. Great question from Javier. Thanks so much. Javier asks, how easy or hard is it to get a job as an English teacher having a degree non-related to linguistics? Great question. We also do get the question quite a lot. So basically for most places and most types of schools, the majority of places, 90 percent, I would say, you do not have to have a degree in English or TESOL or linguistics. So for me, for example, I have a bachelor's in business and I was still able to teach English abroad. So typically it does not matter what your major is in. What matters is that you have a four year degree for most places. There are also places where you can teach without a degree. So, yeah, however, in, you know, if you have a degree in English or in linguistics, that's always going to be a plus. And that's also going to likely get you a higher salary and access to some schools that are usually not that accessible to people without that degree. So like international schools, for example, and international schools, they typically pay a much higher salary. So those are places where you could then go into or even universities sometimes require you to have a bachelor's or a master's in English or TESOL or linguistics. But for the majority of teaching positions abroad, it is not necessary, not necessary. And I know a lot of people who, you know, they moved abroad, teach English with just their regular bachelor's degree, not teaching related. And then they loved it so much that that they then decided to get a master's degree in TESOL or in teaching in linguistics. And then they had access to even better job opportunities. They became headteachers at their schools and things like that. So it definitely helps, but it is not a requirement to have a degree in linguistics to teach abroad or also online. Thanks so much for the question. OK, keep them coming. So those were how many? One, two, three, four of the most asked questions that I've picked for today's live session. And that's it for my side. So keep your questions coming. I have a good one from Mikey now. How about if I have only a certificate in education, not teaching? Is it possible? OK, when you say certificate, what do you mean by certificate? A degree, four year degree in education, but not teaching. So a lot of people ask us this, actually, so they are they have a teaching license from their home country. And then they want to go abroad to teach English, right? So then they're like, well, I have a teaching license. Do I need to get a Teflor TESOL? And usually what we say is that, yes, especially if we want to go to China, again, a Teflor TESOL is a requirement in China, regardless of whether you have a teaching license or not. However, there it's also different, right? So Teflor, again, like we said in the beginning, stands for teaching English as a foreign language. TESOL stands for teaching English to speakers of other languages. So that is a very specific kind of teaching certification. And if you have a teaching license, you likely have not covered the same type of content that a Teflor TESOL course covers in terms of teaching English to people who do not speak English as a first language. And that's what this is all about. So if I hope I'm making sense, a teaching license, however, does definitely make, you know, is a huge plus. And actually a teaching license is going to get you access to a job in an international school. That's usually what they want to see on top of a Teflor TESOL. So they usually only hire people who have an actual teaching license in their home country. So it's definitely a huge bonus. And you can also ask for higher salary if you have a teaching license from your home country. However, you would still need to get a Teflor TESOL on top of that in most cases. Yeah. I hope that answers the question. And I hope I'm making sense. Sometimes I feel like I'm rambling and I don't make sense, but just let me know and I'll clarify again. But thanks so much for asking, Mikey. All right. Just looking at other comments. Yeah. OK, cool. I think I've answered pretty much everything and also the questions that I wanted to cover. Good, good. So keep your questions coming. I'm still here for a little while. And also, don't forget, you can always watch this in the replay and then ask questions. And I will be able to get back to them later in the comments as well. So that's no problem at all. No problem at all. And also, please don't forget the 30% off link. You can find it in the comments. Click on that or scan the QR code, whatever works better for you. And then you can get 30% off any Teflor TESOL course. We, like I said, we only share this 30% off link in our live sessions. That's very, very special. You don't want to miss it. If you're not yet, Teflor TESOL certified. And yeah. All right, another question from Mikey. Thanks so much. Can I apply for the diploma without doing certificate in Teflor? OK, now, Teflor is something different, right? We need to clarify, Teflor is not Teflor. I'm just going to put that into the comment box so I can show you. So Teflor is not Teflor, right? What does Teflor stand for? It's a OK, let me Google that. Teflor stands for Teflor stands for test of English as a foreign language. Test of English as a foreign language. And it is a standardized test to measure the English language ability of non-native speakers, wishing to enroll in English speaking universities. OK, so that is something different. That's an English proficiency test, right? Measuring how well you can speak English. Teflor is for teaching English as a foreign language. OK, different thing, different thing. So maybe your question is, can I apply for the diploma course without doing a certificate in Teflor, like without doing the Teflor certificate? Can I take the diploma? And the answer is no, at ITTT, our diploma course. Our TESOL diploma course is based on the certificate. So first, you complete the certificate, Teflor TESOL of 120 hours, 20 units. And then you're able to take the TESOL diploma course because that one is based on the basic. The basic Teflor course, so you cannot do that. Yeah, I thought so. Thanks for clarifying, though. Yeah, but we do also get that question a lot. We know, you know, people ask us about Teflor. And that's just a really different thing. However, you know, as a Teflor teacher, you might have to teach a Teflor class. Tefl prep, right? To prepare your students for taking the Tefl test that can also happen. But Tefl and Tefl are not the same thing. Good. I hope that answers your question, Mikey. OK, so let me see. I do think that if you sign up. Just want to make sure this is still the case. We had this special deal that if you sign up for the diploma, you can actually get the 120 hour course for free. Let me just check if we still have that. Want to make sure? Just one second. And then I can send you that information. So you can actually follow me if you want. You can click on that link, the discounted link that I shared. And then you'll see the application page. And then you would choose your course type online and then you can choose. Ah, yeah, it's not there. So basically, let me see. What you would have to do is do the I hear diploma. Yes, it's here. Three hundred and seventy hour TESOL diploma course. We recently changed the name. It used to be two hundred and fifty hours. Now it is three hundred and seventy hours. So three hundred and seventy hour TESOL diploma course plus tutor and videos plus free course. And then you can choose your free course and you would choose one hundred and twenty hour TESOL course. So that is included. And I'm just going to fill out this test application so I can tell you exactly how much it comes down to with the 30 percent off. Let me just see. OK. So it will come down to four hundred and nineteen dollars instead of five ninety nine. And that is the one hundred and twenty hour course plus the diploma. So that's a really, really good price. Thirty percent off with the 30 percent off link that I shared. Four hundred and nineteen TESOL diploma plus one hundred and twenty hour together. The one hundred and twenty hour TESOL course comes for free if you sign up for this diploma course. Yes, I can send you the link to your email. I can do that. Sure. How about I'm just going to send you a Facebook message after this live or you can also send me an email. Linda at TESOL. OK. OK. Got it. All right. I didn't want to share it with everybody. But yeah. OK. All right, I'm going to email you after this live with the link and the instructions. All right. Thanks, Mikey. Awesome. OK. OK. Cool. We have a question here about teaching English online. So what are typical wages to expect for newly certified Tefl instructors teaching online? Cool. Good question. My colleague, Lisa, she did a really, really great live session about teaching English online in the different platforms and because all the different platforms have different wages and salaries. So I highly recommend you check that out. You can find it. You're watching on YouTube. So you just go to live our live videos and there is a live about teaching English online, the different platforms, something like that. And not with me, with my colleague, Blonde Hair. So she goes over all of the different platforms and how much you can make there because it really ranges and varies a lot. And typically teaching online platforms, they would charge by the hour. So it ranges really anywhere from 15 to $30 an hour or more. It really depends on what platform you work for. I recently started teaching English online with a platform called Café Talk, which is a very flexible platform. You can basically you create your profile and you can create sort of the lessons, the kind of lessons that you want to offer. It's very flexible. You don't have to teach like the platform doesn't give you any material or any lessons from the platform itself, but you can structure that all by yourself. So you can offer I offer like between 15 minute classes to an hour class. So it's really flexible. So it really depends. And you can also set your own price on there. So, yeah. But like, yeah, between 15 and 30. Dollars per hour, even less sometimes, it really depends on the platform. So I highly recommend you check in at Lisa's live about that. OK. Cool. All right. I'm going to wait just a little bit longer to see if we have another question coming in. And then if there is nothing more, I'm going to sign off. This was really great. Thanks so much for your questions. Highly appreciated. I hope you learn something new today. And yeah, it was so nice to see you all again. Also some new people, which is great. There is going to be another live session next week. And hopefully I'm going to find a new different topic to talk about for next week. Yeah. Mikey asked, what is that platform? Would you mind share it? Yeah, it's called Cafe Talk. That's the platform that I teach on. Yeah. It's my fourth month, I think now I started teaching on there. It's really fun. So, yeah, if you're interested, check it out. You can also offer like I offer English and German on there. I'm a native speaker of both languages. So you can basically offer anything on that platform, which is really fun. All right. Caviar is asking, could you make 120 hours training and then upgrade for business English or young learners or do I need to pay full package? Again, great question. So if you get the 120 hour course with tutor support, you get one free course on top of that. So 120 hour plus tutor and you can choose one of the you can choose either the business English or the young learners course and then for free. That is included if you choose the tutor support version. Mike, he says, is it an app? I think they I don't think they have an app. No, it's on just desktop computer. No app. Please don't forget the 30 percent off, Mikey. I am going to email you about that. I will send you the direct link with instructions on how to get that good deal. The diploma with the free 120 hour course. And yeah, I think I'm going to sign off now. If there are no more questions coming in. It was really, really great to talk to you today. Super happy about that. All your questions coming in and yeah, just a fun crowd. And please, please, please join us again next week for another live session. And also my colleague Lisa on Tuesday. Don't miss out on that. She has some really, really great content, a lot of teaching tips and how to create lesson plans and lessons from scratch, how to find online teaching students.
