This Year Resolve to Solve Your Employment Dilemmas

(Become an English Language Teacher in April and Start working in May)

April marks the summer holiday for many students living in South East Asia. Students in Thailand have a 5 or 6 week holiday that begins the second week of April (with the water festival Songkran) and lasts until mid May.

 

 

If you are pondering a spring sabbatical why not escape the last dregs of winter and explore the sizzling exotic heat of the summer in Thailand with Paradise TEFL Chiang Mai? Obtaining a TEFL/TESOL certificate can open new opportunities for people to become English language teachers and provide a path toward economic opportunity and travel for years to come.  

In many countries around the globe with a TEFL certificate and a BA (or equivalent) you are eligible for a B visa which enables you to obtain a work permit and stay for a year at a time abroad.

April is a great month to be in Thailand studying and looking for work in the Kingdom because this is the time when teaching positions surface and are filled prior to the start of the New Year in May.  Enjoy all that Thailand has to offer. Wonderful scenery, friendly people, and a more relaxed “in the moment” lifestyle.

 

Don’t have the time to take a month long course? “Mai pen rai” (no worries) because we also offer a two week TEFL/TESOL intensive that allows you to complete your coursework in just as little as fifteen days (weekends required) so that you can finish quickly and begin teaching in a timeframe that works for you. Or have the chance to relax and explore before your next employment contract begins.

With our practical approach, we aim to provide the highest levels of hands on teaching time of any program out there. Much higher than CELTA and comparable programs which focus the majority of their class time on theory and research.  At Paradise TEFL, we strive to provide graduates with the actual experience of engaging with English as an Additional Language (EAL) in conversational as well as reading and writing lesson planning and delivery. We can charge less because we are smaller and less administratively top heavy program, with skilled instruction.

Paradise TEFL CM employs only licensed North American instructors with an MA or higher and twenty years of teaching experience to help mentor our participants and prepare you for the real tasks that lie ahead, which is not a bunch of theoretical and impractical techniques but rather how to structure learning activities which makes learning English as a Second (ESL) or English as a Foreign Language (EFL) fun, interesting, and relevant for both non-native speakers and their instructors alike.

 

 

Whatever methods or plans of action 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 and Chiang Mai Thailand, as well as a special summer course in Portland, Oregon or as a complete series of online modules some with a virtual practice teaching option. 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).

All courses are fully accredited 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.

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!
