make an exchange that's what I'm here for basically today all right so let me show you what I've prepared for you guys so first up I just want to introduce myself for people who don't know me yet so my name is Linda I'm on the one hand I'm a traveler writer and content creator under the name linda goes east you can find me at linda goes east.com that's my own personal website where I share a lot of like travel guides and travel information for Asia teaching in Asia specifically also South Korea because that's where I live and China and many many other destinations as well on Instagram I'm very active on Instagram some might say I am addicted but you can find me at linda goes east also if you have any questions at any time feel free to just DM me on Instagram and I'll get back to you as well I'm originally from Germany and the US my mom is German my dad is American and I am based in South Korea I've been here for the past over six years so before that I also actually taught English in China and yeah so I love Asia I've been here for a while and I know the market pretty well that's why I'm also a teflon t-sol marketing professional for ITTT that stands for international teflon t-sol training you can find us at tefloncourse.net and also on Instagram at international teflon training ITTT is a leading teflon t-sol course provider worldwide we have a great variety of different courses some of which I'm also going to show you and I think some of you also probably have already taken some courses with us so you know what it's all about that's pretty much it let me just check in all right we have l t-ray from China also 3 p.m okay awesome and we have Ayinura from Kyrgyzstan nice to hear and see you hi thank you so much for joining awesome great good okay I'm going to answer your questions in a little bit I just want to mention you know but today's session is all about just as a reminder again it's going to be all about teaching English abroad online everything in between ask your questions about ITTT about teflon t-sol about anything and I'm going to start off with this question here from EG who says I rejected an offer from a Vietnamese institute but without a contract just to go there and work in several schools during the same week have you heard anything like that before and what do you think yeah actually that's a good question because last week on my weekly live I covered a topic about teflon contracts and things to watch out for before you sign a contract and the very first thing that I said in my live session never accept a job without a contract if there's no contract you do not work for them so good for you that you rejected it you didn't go there because no no don't do that at all that's shady from the get go you don't want to work for a school that doesn't give you a contract so that is very important so definitely you did the right thing there they probably um you know we're trying to either you know save on taxes or I don't I've never taught in Vietnam I don't know how it works there but definitely if they don't give you a contract you don't work for them okay good so I have prepared some questions that we get all the time um and that I'm gonna go through but also like you like I said you guys feel free to just jump in and ask you questions at any time um and yeah then we're just gonna go from there let me take one sip of my coffee and then we can jump in very good oh first question so the first question we always get is basically what is the difference between Tefl and TESOL right because we hear about both acronyms all the time at ITTT we also always mention Tefl and TESOL so what is this all about if you're completely new to teaching abroad um teaching English to Tefl or TESOL you probably don't know and that's what I'm gonna cover first so that we're all on the same page basically so Tefl stands for teaching English as a foreign language TESOL stands for teaching English to speakers of other languages so basically as you can see from their names they have different names but the the overall key thing is the same right and these days especially these days there's really no difference in Tefl or TESOL the only difference that there is is in the usage so as you can see here Tefl is most commonly used within the UK and Europe so in the UK or in Europe people just prefer using the term Tefl um they don't really say TESOL that much they just refer to it as Tefl whereas in Australia New Zealand USA Canada North America um TESOL is much more commonly used um just a term itself but Tefl and TESOL both mean the same thing so the teaching of English um to speakers of other languages or teaching English as a foreign language to people who don't normally speak English right so that's the key term here so that's the only difference and actually the good thing about ITTT is in our certificates I'm going to show you real quick you can choose on your oh not this you can choose on your certificate whether it should say Tefl or TESOL so based on where you're from or where you want to go and teach you can choose um you know if your certificate should say Tefl or TESOL so that is an option at ITTT and I'm going to show you here so this is my certificate my 120 hour certificate and if you're going to look here it says the ITTT 120 hour Tefl course so here I chose Tefl and some other people choose TESOL so then it says TESOL here but as you can also see in the logo it also says Tefl and TESOL so you have both acronyms on your certificate no matter what but you can choose what you want it to be called basically based on where you're from or where you maybe plan on teaching whichever acronym you prefer you can choose which one it should say on your certificate yep so that's that about Tefl and TESOL I hope that makes sense I hope you guys understand that so also the training is exactly the same you know whether it's a Tefl course or a TESOL course the training is the same the things you learn are exactly the same so Tefl and TESOL are basically the same thing the only difference is that in the UK and Europe people just prefer calling it Tefl and in North America in Oceania Ocea ocean is that what's called Australia and New Zealand uh people prefer calling it TESOL that's the only difference all right next up um what we also get asked a lot is how is the demand for teaching English how is the demand and also where is the demand so I've prepared this map for you guys and maybe I don't know if it's really obvious if you can see that the pins on there you should use a more vibrant color but anyways so as you can see this so the pins basically represent the main ESL teaching markets in the world so over here as you can see we have Latin Central in Latin America Central and South America we also have Europe over here then we have the Middle East which is a huge region for teaching English abroad as is Asia is Asia is actually the biggest market for teaching English abroad and I'm going to talk a little bit about that just after this slide so this is where the demand is the highest in the world uh when it comes to teaching abroad and um that does not mean that you can't find any positions in any of the other places that are not um that doesn't don't have a pin on them on this map so um this is just where the most demand is in the world basically um and also obviously teaching English online is huge at the moment it's a huge market there's so many people teaching English online I also started teaching English online this year actually um so it's huge uh don't forget that either so teaching online and yeah maybe I would like to know if anyone uh who's watching is currently teaching in one of those places here um who's teaching abroad and where are you teaching abroad do let me know I'd be really curious um I myself like I said I taught English in China before so I used to work used to live here actually pretty much kind of here here and down here so that's where I used to live and now I am over here in South Korea so I have teaching experience in both China and Korea and I have a lot of friends who also taught English in Japan actually we did a very very cool live session I think it was two weeks ago with two really cool girls from Australia who are currently teaching English in Japan together they're two sisters and if you're interested in teaching English abroad or in Japan you can check that out also Japan also hires non-native English speakers so Japan is open to teachers of any nationality which is not the case in some countries so do uh check that out if you're interested in teaching English abroad in Asia in Japan obviously check that out you can find it in our playlist on Facebook and also on YouTube we always keep our live sessions in our playlists so you can refer back to them at any time no problem all right so I didn't get a comment of anyone teaching abroad maybe you're not currently teaching abroad so that's fine um but then I'm just going to move on in um to how is the demand right so now we covered where is the demand but how is the demand so now I have a couple of key factors for you here and I'm going to turn this banner off so basically there are more than two billion people learning and speaking English around the world this is according to the British Council that there are approximately two billion people learning and using English worldwide so English is huge around the world obviously I think we all know that English is a is a global language so a lot of people are learning it and yearly more and more people are starting to learn it so that's why the demand for teaching English abroad is so big um and from that 300 million people alone are in China so that that's what makes China the biggest market for teaching English abroad and the Chinese Vice Premier actually um made it a goal back in 2015 to um increase English education even further and at that time they had 300 million Chinese people learning and now it's six years later so I'm sure this number is actually higher now um because I used to teach in China and there's literally a language school like everywhere it is if you're in a big city in China you just look around there's language schools on every corner pretty much and they actually have more vacancies job vacancies than teachers that they can fill it with so if you're interested in teaching English abroad China is a big market and in need in need in need of lots of teachers hi Nancy watching from Thailand thank you for joining great so then I also want to mention that there are certain countries that have implemented government funded programs to attract foreign English teachers for example the epic program in Korea the jet program in Japan the Taepiff program in France and the net scheme in Hong Kong and the epic program that's where the two sisters that I mentioned from our life two weeks ago they teach under the jet program I've also met people who taught under the net scheme and I know many many people here in Korea who are teaching uh under epic so those are basically government funded programs that you can apply to and then you can get hired and they place you typically in public schools around the country public schools but also sometimes private schools so those are great programs for people who have no experience yet because they're usually pretty organized and very guided you receive guidance from start to finish so those are really good programs if you're new to teaching yeah then another great fact about the demand for teaching English or like English language education is this right here so 50 percent of all the teachers teaching abroad currently they renew and stay a second year so that tells us two things first off 50 percent of them love it and they stay and teaching abroad is great but also on the other hand it creates this huge turnover each year right every year 50 percent of the positions are vacant again so it's a revolving door of job openings for you who are wanting to teach English abroad and also the positions are actually increasing especially in the case of China and many other countries that are really pushing English education there are a lot of countries where that's the case so yeah I hope that makes sense please do leave me your comments if you want to add something if you want to ask something at any time don't feel shy to interrupt me I'm used to it no just kidding I love it you know just having an exchange of information if you know something that I don't know feel free to share if you have a question feel free to ask there are no dumb questions so please please please just ask if you have any questions also if that's not related to what I'm talking about feel free there's also going to be a Q&A official Q&A section at the end when I'm through all of my slides so you can ask then also no problem at all okay yeah then next up we get this question quite a lot so do you need a taffle or t-cell certificate to teach do you need it or do you not need it you know what's the deal because you're probably looking at some job offers and some job offers they state that they need a taffle in some job offers there's no mention of a taffle or t-cell certificate so what is the deal do you need a taffle certificate so basically on this slide as you can see first I want to answer the question what is a taffle certificate right so on the one hand it is yeah it is this piece of paper it is this piece of paper um that is a required certification in many countries so for example in China if you want to go teach in China I know I mentioned China a lot but China is a huge market for teaching in Leisurebrot um so if you want to go and teach in China you actually do need to have a taffle certificate otherwise you will not get a visa there for teaching so you need that so that's the one thing right a taffle certificate on the one hand is this piece of paper that is a certificate that is required in different countries or also if even if it's not required in a country maybe the individual schools and employers require it um and then also which I think is much more important um it is uh for you personally right so here we have on the one side it is this piece of paper on the other side it is for you and you learn how to teach because just because maybe you're a native English speaker does not mean that you can actually teach English right um also if you are a non-native English speaker and you've learned English a long time for years and years and years you've been a student of English yourself also does not mean that you can teach English um so that's why I think a taffle certificate is so important and so do you need a taffle or t-cell certificate to teach um depends on those two things you know either a it is required in the destination where you want to go and teach or b which I think is more important um you should get taffle certified for your own sake so that you know what you're doing and you learn all of those important things teaching theories methods and techniques classroom management lesson planning lesson planning super important um evaluation and testing equipment teaching aids English grammar also super important especially for native English speakers who have pretty much no idea of English grammar um so that is I think why it's important and why you do need a taffle or t-cell certificate to teach uh so that you know what you're doing and you're providing value to your students right but that being said also there are many countries that do require teachers to have a taffle and if you don't have a taffle you're not gonna get a visa you can't go there and teach basically I hope I'm making sense um but I think that's very important to cover um because it's not an easy answer you need a taffle or t-cell to teach um my personal answer will be yes definitely for those two reasons mentioned okay um yeah let me take a look uh at the comments all right we have illustrator hi thank you for tuning in thank you and then Sean yes that's our website yeah tafflecourse.net thanks for sharing that great okay so I always keep an eye on the comments so don't be don't be shy uh just say what you want to say that's cool great okay uh so that's that question and then the next thing would be um yes what are the requirements for teaching English right we always get that asked quite a lot and also there again there's no easy answer because the requirements they vary from place to place country to country school to school you know so there's no one set answer it always depends on your background and where you want to go and teach so but technically uh or most commonly those are the things that are required so generally it's a bachelor's degree and a four-year bachelor's degree and it does not have to be in the field of education in most cases so it can be a bachelor's of mine was business management it could be a bachelor's of history or I don't know music even not to say the music is that no you know what I mean can be any even if it's really not related to teaching or English it can be any bachelor's degree typically um also there are countries in schools that hire people who don't have a degree that's also possible and we did some live sessions about that as well before countries places that hire teachers without a degree you can check that out as well sometimes it's also required to have teaching experience but most of the time actually not most people that I know the teacher brought when they first started their first teaching job they did not have any experience because that's just how it is when you're just starting out you don't have experience but what you can do is like you know gain experience by first teaching English online for example before you move abroad to gain experience or you can do things like tutoring you know or if you're like a camp tutor or like tutoring your neighborhood or things like that that also obviously counts as some form of teaching experience for sure then the requirements often also vary you know sometimes for some countries or some schools you need to be a native English speaker but there's also places that hire non-native English speakers like I mentioned the Japan program they hire people of any nationality and that's the case in many many countries but some schools like if it's a you know like a American school they may be only hire North American people or if it's like a British school they would only hire people from the UK for example so they're always like these kinds of schools that have those you know rules and requirements for their teachers then typically what I think is very important that you need to have is adaptability so that you are you know you have you are able to adapt right to a new culture a new work culture a new country and your language of those things so that's definitely one requirement that you need to have so if you want to go abroad you need to think about you know will I be able to um deal with it you know live in a totally different place so just think about that and then also obviously the eagerness to learn new things right but that's pretty much I think everyone who wants to go abroad um already has those two things they are adaptable and they are eager to learn new things and see new things so yeah just want to mention that and throw it out there anyway then let's see what's next that is another very common question so which Teflon course is right for me when we're moving in to this section so what's different Teflon TESOL courses course options are there and then which course is right for me I'm sure all of you if because you're here you probably googled Teflon course or TESOL course before and you noticed that there's so many different options right um and then maybe you found ITTT and you click on ITTT's website TeflonCourse.net and then you see oh my god there are also so many different Teflon course options just on this one course provider's website which course should I choose you know um also again there is no easy answer to this it depends on you your background and most importantly where you want to go not in terms of only location destination but also in terms of long term you know your career English teaching career goals basically um so that's what we're going to talk about next I'm just going to have one um one quick look at the comments there is a question here for the ITTT courses what is the recommended course for someone without previous experience and if those courses include videos or live sessions or just reading topics great good so this is exactly what I'm going to talk about right now so um watch and it's going to answer your question basically so at ITTT we pretty much offer training between 50 and 550 hours of Teflon or TESOL course training now generally for people who want to go and teach English abroad for at least a year or more they need to have 100 hours minimum of training that's pretty much the international standard pretty much for anyone unless you want to do volunteer teach work or like internship kind of thing so if it's not um anything that you want to do for at least a year um you can get less than 100 hours but anything that's you know like a real position for like a longer you definitely need to have that 100 hours minimum um and yeah we offer a wide variety of different courses to suit all needs and I'm going to show you that in the next slides we also have Teflon TESOL course specializations that you can add to your portfolio I'm also going to show you that what that means basically all of our certificates are internationally accredited and accepted worldwide I'm also going to show you how you can verify that and how your potential employer can verify that your certificate is real and that um yeah that is from ITTT basically all right so the first course or this course what I'm going to talk about now this is pretty much the the most popular option what most people go for the 120 hour Teflon course this is also the course that I took and that gets you this certificate right here um and like I said this is the minimum standard course for anyone who wants to go abroad so this course is 100 online there are 20 units um basically half the units are teaching methodologies half the units are grammar based because grammar is a very important topic and very important for English teachers obviously that you understand grammar and then um this course is also study at your own pace and you have up to six months to complete the course so it's really great for people who maybe are working um I was actually working when I took my course I was already teaching in China at that time when I was teaching there a Teflon certificate was not a requirement they changed that shortly after I left actually um so yeah I was teaching full time and then in my free time I completed my course which was also possible you have up to six months and I think I completed my course and I think about four months while I was working all of the certificates are embossed and hard copy and they are shipped straight to your door wherever you are in the world so and it looks like this I hope you can see this it's really really nice material actually it's it's not like flimsy paper it's really nice certificate paper and there's like imprints on it embossed like parts and like here and signatures and all this stuff and yes here I'm going to show you that now there's a number here down here at the certificate you can use this number to verify that your certificate is 100 real and from ITTT so you can punch that number in on our website and for example your employer can verify that this is really a real certificate because believe it or not there are actually some people out there who photoshop certificates and so that is to prevent that basically yeah back to my slides and we also have notarization services available that is one thing that China requires that you also get this certificate notarized because they had so many photoshop incidents actually so they made this a little more stricter and we also do offer that service but that's pretty much only if you want to go to China or in some really rare cases then you need to do that and yeah this course starts at 249 us dollars without tutor support and 339 with tutor support so there's always two course options for this course tutor support just means that you have a professional definitely expert at your side along your course journey that you can ask questions at any time that you can like work together a little bit get more insight who's just kind of there to a little bit support you and push you a little bit so this is great for people who maybe aren't that great with self-studying and you need like someone to push you a little bit and help you so that would be that's great for that yeah then the specializations very important so specialization courses i can also show you those certificates i have all of these so the first one that i got back in the day was the teaching english to young learners looks like this and they all look the same as you can see like this is the same format and then it just says here certificate in teaching english to young learners right here also very very pretty certificate also has the number here um so that's one certificate that i decided to get because i was like i said teaching already at the time and i taught mostly kids so i wanted to get this specialization to um just like you know specialize in that field be a better teacher to young learners it's very different teaching kids versus adults so that's why i did that then i got the um this one certificate in teaching business english this was next you can also show you here certificate in teaching business english because it's also very very big a big field of teaching also in asia and a lot of parts of the world where you just teach business professionals and as you can imagine that is also very different from teaching children so that's why i decided to get that certificate as well and then the last one is the certificate in teaching english online yep online so i got that one i think at the end of last year or last year sometime actually it says the date on it i could check yeah oh a year ago the 10th of july 2020 so that's when i got the certificate and then i started teaching english online this year in march just as a side hustle it's been so much fun so much fun so yeah and those certificates they start at 175 without tutor and 275 with tutor so really really great those courses so basically what they do they just add to your portfolio they get you more hours of training and especially if you want to go in that direction you you know teaching children it's a huge plus when you apply for jobs if you want to go in that direction of teaching adults if you want to go and teach english online those certificates are just great add-ons to your standard taffle course to stand out from the crowd to learn new skills and to basically just advance in your teaching career then we have the bundles which is also very interesting to mention basically uh what use what i just showed you the 120 hour plus two um two specializations and you could choose the two you want to take out of the three so those three certificates right here that's the 220 hour master package that's this bundle which includes those three things as you can see 120 hour 50 hour 50 hour and then you have this bundle so you can actually save money if you go that route that's why i wanted to mention the bundles because that's actually the 220 hour bundle the master package has been hugely popular and just for that reason and then we have the 470 hour professional package we have the 550 hour expert package so depending on really where you want to go in your teaching career you can do more and more and more so that's just something to keep in mind i just wanted to mention and obviously all of these packages and bundles are cheaper than if you buy the courses individually so if you already know oh yeah i want to teach uh online and i want to teach kids you should do the master package um and do those courses with the standard one together and you can save a bit of money and also just mentioning this again that we do have a 30 off discount in this live we only share this discount in our live session very special um and i shared the link uh in the comments it looks like this you can find it in the youtube comments and also on the facebook comments you can click on that you can fill out the application and you're gonna see 30% off so if you're not yet teffel or t-cell certified this is a really good deal okay watching from chalp on atta cool where is that i don't know where that is awesome thank you so much for tuning in it's great okay awesome good then let me also show you oh yeah we also so those were all the the online courses right which is hugely popular especially during the pandemic and these days and stuff but we also have in-class teffel courses that are four weeks long so you can choose a destination of your choice and this is actually our course map here in class course map so all of these dots we have in-class centers in these locations so maybe there's one near you and you can do the four week course there you get a lot of teaching experience practical experience um you know with a group like this we have tutors you can hear like a tutor and you can teach to real english learners as well at those centers so that's a great choice for anyone who wants to get the best possible training basically before they move on and teach and a lot of people they do basically take the four week course in the destination where they want to go and teach so for example we do have quite a lot of locations in china so you could go to um beijing for example take a course there and then uh continue and teach there so that's very popular and then we also have a combined option which basically combines the benefits of the online course with the benefits of the in-class course that means you complete an online component of the course first you also have up to six months to do that and then you get in-class training for five eight or ten days at a training center worldwide with a lot of destinations in the us actually but also um in asia in europe um south america pretty much anywhere um you can also get this kind of training we also now have online teaching training um you can find that on our website at tpr ctpr we have new courses because of the pandemic so we do that online and you can basically also get teaching practice with real students but just online and also with the tutor so that's really great if you're interested in that let me know and i'll share a specific link but you can find that on our website very very easily good then i think we're almost done here oh yes the last thing that i want to mention before i'm gonna do the official q and a because we get that asked a lot so how long does a tefl course take and i mentioned that a little bit so you have up to six months to complete your course and this is basically the teaching english timeline okay that i made up basically um so it starts with the first step choose a tefl or tesol course right that's the first step so you need to figure out which course is right for you um based on your background and where you want to go where you want to go in your career um you would choose your course then obviously you would work through the units do your course then you would receive your certificate step three then you would apply for jobs and then you start teaching so those are the five steps of teaching english the timeline so all of this can take anywhere from four to six months and upwards this depends on where you want to go and teach because it might take up to a year all of these like government funded programs they already start hiring pretty much almost a year before the contract starts so this is the case in japan i think also in korea they start recruiting in fall for the next fall basically or in spring for next spring so depending on where you want to go you need to know these things and you need to start early the earlier you start the better but let's say if you want to teach online you can pretty much start teaching online right after you finish and you get your certificate and you can create your profile and you can start teaching so this all depends on where you want to go and how the regulations are there are and stuff so yeah but that's pretty much it you have up to six months to complete the course if you do the bundles you have even more time to do that so um yeah that's pretty much it um and let me just see this yes so this is just a reminder how to find ittt online once again so we are on facebook where you're watching we're on youtube where some of you are watching we're also on twitter and on instagram and our website again is tefalcourse.net and now the official q and a session starts and i'm going to focus all of my attention on you guys and your questions that you might have um and also as you can see the big qr code is back right here so again 30 off you can scan this with your phone super easy hold your phone there scan it and it leads you straight to that application page where you then fill out your application you hit apply and then you can see the discounted price on that new page um if that doesn't work let me know i can share that code again um it's in the comment section as well let me just share it again one more time so that everybody can take advantage of that and then i'm gonna answer your questions okay here this is what the link looks like so you click on that slide your application 30 off and like i said we only share this during our lives this is very very special take advantage of that okay let me take one more sip of coffee i'm getting like a dry throat it's really hot in korea and so um it's hotter than what i'm used to in germany you know where i grew up um it's really humid and we have air conditioners on the whole day so
