TEACHING ENGLISH -WHO, WHAT, WHERE

TEACHING ENGLISH -WHO, WHAT, WHERE?
 
 
As the fallout from the economic downturn continues to play out in the banks and board rooms of corporate America and the Euro-zone, as well as main streets world wide, those with English Language skills continue to be in demand.
 
Many of the people who end up teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) or English as a Second Language (ESL) or English as an Additional Language (EAL) come from educational occupational backgrounds while scores of others have no formal training in teaching. Either way now is the perfect time to up your skill set by pursuing a TEFL/TESOL certificate and creating additional employment opportunities without the staggering cost of returning to a major university to acquire an extensive additional two to four year degree.

Teaching TEFL is a relatively easy option for those interested in teaching abroad because there is usually no additional course of studies required beyond the certificate (and in some countries a BA) and a willingness to help others learn English. Travelers, recent grads, and retirees are among the most common persons considering a TEFL/TESOL certificate however the industry attracts individuals from all walks of life and ethnic backgrounds. Common job placement destinations range from Eastern Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and of course all across Asia.

The advanced course provides additional English Language teaching certifications and is offered in tandem with our site courses in Hua Hin and Chiang Mai Thailand, as well as China, and Cambodia or as a complete series of online modules. This summer starting on July 9th we will be offering a special couse in Portland Oregon with 25% discount when you study with a buddy.
In order to become a TEFL Trainer, you should have already completed a TEFL, TESOL or CELTA course first in order to be eligible and teaching experience is necessary. (Our Basic TEFL on-site program provides 2 to 3 weeks of hands on observed teaching practice to help our teachers to effectively develop their skills).

Graduates with these additional certifications have the advantage of substantially increasing their marketability and employment status. Improve your chances of getting a good job with a higher level of pay by enrolling today!

Portland Summer Program Buddy Special- Time is Running Out

North by Northwest Summer Paradise TEFL Program

(25 % Buddy Couple Discount-Time is running out!)

Images_21
 

People flock to Portland year round to enjoy the amazing scenery, avant-garde food and progressive culture, but this summer Paradise TEFL offers a special TEFL Certification Program, complete with a “Buddy/Couple discount” when you sign up and pay your deposit for our 30 day TEFL/TESOL accredited teacher training for only $675, when you  pay your deposit of $175 dollars before May 29th by Midnight of Memorial Day Weekend.

For a limited time, Paradise TEFL Certification Program offers these advanced certifications such as TOEFL, IELTS, and TEYL at the SAME PRICE as the basic TEFL/TESOL certification!

Many people who live in and visit the Pacific Northwest look forward to this exceptionally enjoyable time of the year. This is due, in part, to the great number of outdoor activities once can partake in, as well as the chance to enjoy the best of the Northwest’s long , sunny summer spells, which as you can imagine have been the vision of many a Portlandian winter day, when the world is filled with colors of green and blue and the typical Northwest shades of grey have become a gloomy, faded shadow.

Teaching English as a Second or Foreign Language jobs in Asia, South America and the Middle East are as plentiful as autumn pears and apples in the Columbia Basin, and in turn can provide fruitful opportunity for your  future employment, well beyond the fleeting memories of  short-lived bounties of red  raspberry, white salmon berry and indigo Marion berries which, among other things, have made the Northwest famous the world over.  Our course in Portland begins Monday, July 9th after the fireworks and apple pies have been digested and waved over.
All courses are certified and you will receive a certificate of completion, which is internationally recognized and accepted when you graduate from the course. Many of those who already have experience as TEFL instructors are finding that becoming a certified TEFL trainer is another opportunity and feather in their cap in terms of meeting the demand of TEFL instructors (who are leaving their home countries and working abroad) by teaching others how to teach TEFL effectively.

TEFL TEACHING AND PERSONAL INQUIRY

ARE YOU ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS???

(TEFL TEACHING AND PERSONAL INQUIRY)
Classroom_daydream
Don't be afraid to ask questions. You have probably been in a situation where you are a part of a group discussion. The speaker says something that is unclear but none of the rest of the group says anything. You don't ask the question because you feel you are the only one who does not understand and you don't want to embarrass yourself. If you finally get the courage to ask, then you find out no one else understood either. Remember that the only dumb question is the one not asked.
Asian_ladies_asking
 

Sometimes you don't ask for something because you assume the answer will be no. For example, don't take a given fee as the lowest possible price. When you are given a dollar amount for a hotel room, ask "Is that your lowest price?" Or when you order a pizza, instead of asking for the pizza you want, begin with "What specials do you have tonight?" All kinds of clichés come to mind with this action, such as "You never know until you ask," and "Nothing ventured, nothing gained."
 
 
Pouring_over_it
This is not only true in terms of life’s conversation and one’s own education or livelihood, but in terms of manifesting opportunity in the future. Why not give teaching  English (as either a Foreign Language -TEFL or Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages -TESOL) a try today!
 
 

TEACHING TIP

In terms of teaching in general, and particularly English as a foreign, or second language, it is helpful to avoid questions that can place the other person on the defensive such as "Shouldn't you be spending more time on this project in order to get it done on time?" Don't begin a question with "Couldn't," "shouldn't," or "wouldn't." Instead you might ask, "What are some things we can do to get the project finished on time?"

For a limited time, Paradise TEFL Certification Program offers these advanced certifications such as TOEFL, IELTS, and TEYL at the SAME PRICE as the basic TEFL/TESOL certification!

Whatever plan of action an unemployed educator decides to take, in general, the more advanced certifications a TEFL or TESOL Teacher holds, the more opportunity they possess in terms of their marketability and increased number of employment options. 

The advanced course provides additional English Language teaching certifications and is offered in tandem with our site courses in Hua Hin and Chiang Mai Thailand, as well as China, and Cambodia or as a complete series of online modules.

April Showers and May Flowers

April Showers May Flowers

009


The end of May will mark a sabbatical for Paradise TEFL Chiang Mai programs. The months of June and July in Chiang Mai (the Rose of Northern Thailand) will be back soon.

 

013


 This change in our scheduling  is due to our Paradise TEFL Chiang Mai instructor’s absence since he is heading back to the USA, to offer a month’s long special summer  program in Portland, Oregon (aka. the “City of Roses”) which begins on July 9th 2012.

Now is the perfect time to take advantage of the opportunity to become a TEFL if you are living in the Western States.

Question?- TEFL Portland certification program is much more affordable than most programs available in US. How can this be? Click here to find out more.


"After checking out this course online I was dubious how it could be so cheap.
But this is exactly the type of course which I wanted to complete. I don't believe the 
personal one to one attention and attention I got would be available at any other TEFL course. The rigidness of a training center is not there and I feel that I have learned much more from this course than if I had completed it in another institution. No collared shirts! No ties! Just mentoring and coaching to create great teaching skills.”

Many people wonder how can Paradise TEFL offer a legitimate credential at such low rates? Is this a fake certificate or some kind of scam? The answer is plainly and truthfully no, it is effective, transferable and real. 

 

Our students are well trained and successfully placed in teaching jobs around the world.

Just mentoring and coaching to create great teaching skills. I would now feel confident walking into any classroom in the world. Most of all it was fun. If you’re considering this course don't hesitate to take it. I would recommend it to my best friend."

Many people wonder how we can offer meaningful programs when our cost is less than half of what most big TEFL/TESOL organizations charge. With our program there is no big fancy ornate building or office staff pushing sales (although we do respond promptly if you write or call).

 

Really the answer is quite simple. Through shared resources, low overhead and low administrative costs we keep our expenses to a minimum. We tend to meet in public places like meeting rooms, cafes or private and public spaces like libraries and student homes (upon request).


Falang_in_charge


Without the constant burden of expensive rent or utilities to pay, we can pass the savings on to the people who need it most…our teachers in training.

 

Most of our business is generated in one of three ways:

 

Happy_times

Word of mouth testimonials are the most common way we get prospective customers. Our graduates are often so pleased with our personal and well directed courses that they often refer us to their colleagues, family members and friends. One of the things which makes our program unique, is our tailoring our programs toward meeting the needs of those unique individuals in attendance, and in the process, we provide the kind of detailed personal attention and job placement assistance which our graduates really appreciate, as they tend to share their appreciation with others interested parties.


Secondly, we advertise for free on the web utilizing free ads and social networking while we maintain an active website. Recent data shows our numbers of web hits are increasing due to a vigilant amount of blogging and back linking of our informative posts. (Not to mention rock bottom prices!) With the new world of virtual communications, we can interface with students and peers all over the globe or offer free English Language classes to those who are recent immigrants of foreign nationals in their own traditional or recently new established communities.

 

 

Attentive_students


Third, we pool our resources. Having a number of multiple courses and site locations means we share our curriculum and practical approach methods with other owners of Paradise TEFL Franchises. Our number of locations is expanding because anyone who has achieved their certification and completed the advanced TEFL Trainer’s Certification is illegible for opening a branch in a new location.

 

We know that our Student TEFL Teachers and graduates have busy lives, with demanding schedules so we make the programs centered around meeting the needs of our student clients rather than those of some large assembly-line organization. 

Khun_appun


We at Paradise TEFL hold  a fully accredited and globally recognized TEFL English Language Certification  program (recognized for our high number of fully employed graduates) We strive not only for our students  to learn successful English teaching concepts with the latest proven strategies and methods, but actually do so in a two to three week long observed practice  teaching setting, rather than a theoretical classroom environment.

We recommend that whichever TEFL or TESOL program you choose, it has a practical approach you can really use, not only a theoretical one, which prepares you for the real classroom of tomorrow.

It is important to be sure that the certification program you select provides you with the kind of hands on training, stimulating activities, and supportive classroom management techniques that you need to not only enjoy your work, but to achieve the kind of rapport your students actually need to make learning meaningful, relevant and fun!

Whatever plan of action an unemployed educator decides to take, in general, the more advanced certifications a TEFL or TESOL Teacher holds, the more opportunity they possess in terms of their marketability and increased number of employment options.
