What is a TEFL Course for teaching english abroad as a foreign Language, and what is is the difference between TEFL, TESOL, CELTA and TESL?

• TEFL: The course is, of course, entirely in English, and is made up of various modules aimed at developing didactic skills and the methodology of teaching the English language to non-native speakers. With the globally recognized TEFL diploma, you demonstrate the essential skills for an English teacher. Internationally, the demand for English teachers is increasing and with a TEFL course you significantly increase your chances of a paid teaching job!

What is is the difference between TEFL, TESOL, CELTA and TESL?

• In practice, the difference is relatively small. TEFL stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language, TESOL stands for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, CELTA stands for Certificate of English Language Teaching to Adults, and TESL stands for Teaching English as a Second Language.
• In many countries in the world a TEFL certificate is requested (this can be TEFL, TESOL or CELTA).
• In some countries, for example in Southern Europe, a practical course (TESOL/CELTA) is requested. This is an intensive 4 week adult teaching course and is specifically for those truly pursuing a career in TEFL. You can take this course through TEFL in Spain.
