The only TEFL internships that I'm aware of are run by TEFL Course providers who see it as a way to lure trainees into buying their courses.

Here's a tip when writing in English:

Learn how to use paragraphs! :)

One way of getting online work is through some of the online agencies (forget their names but you can google them) BUT you won't get anything like your target rates through them. Best way for those rates would be to find your own "clients" (clients should pay better than students, right?) ...

Definitely doable, as many others will attest. It might help if you gave a touch more detail, like where you are and/or where you want to teach. Your subject title says "Remote". Does that mean you only want online work? You could potentially (eventually) leverage a business background tea...

Wow. Now there's an idea. Turn your phone sideways to check. Who'd a thunk?

It's almost like double-checking your work before handing it in.

Do you have a specific question? If so, please ask it. At the moment the only advice I can offer is not to format your text such that it is screwed up and makes it difficult for viewers to read, at least on phone. The first para is fine. All the rest is screwed up on phone, probably because you copi...

In theory if you do a good TEFL course you will be equipped to teach a class of 12 learners all speaking a different language, all of which you cannot possibly be expected to know. In TEFL we tend to use English to teach English on the premise that you can't learn French by speaking Chinese. On that...

Many employers are probably more interested in a good TEFL cert than a good degree. Often the TEFL cert is to show you are trained/qualified to teach English (as a foreign language) while the degree is required to get you a work permit/visa. In other words, the cert is an "academic" requir...

EnglishClub.com is for English learners but it covers most of what you'd want in a straightforward way. Eg, tenses at:

1) is there a qualification issued by an official, centralised entity that would be recognised by a Spanish language school? If so how do I access a course? Basically, nothing in TEFL (teaching English as a foreign language) is official. There is no single, "centralised entity" that has a...

Also interesting to note - and not wishing to complicate things - but your initial wondering statement might want a tense revision :) I was wondering why the below question IS correct Assuming that the below question is indeed correct, which you apparently believe it to be, then it is correct yester...

For Tenses look at: https://www.englishclub.com/grammar/tense.htm For Passive Voice look at: https://www.englishclub.com/grammar/passive-voice.htm Active Voice is basically the "normal" voice, everything that is not Passive. Language is rather broad but here it probably means: https://www....

On first reading it doesn't shock me, but on reflection you may well be right. For a definitive answer I recommend you ask the Professor Alan on the EnglishClub Help Desk at:

John V 55 is correct... I'm confused. Does E-insider stand for ESLinsider? If so, you may want to check your spelling on your About page where you use seems as a noun whereas you "seem" to mean seams . I hate the TEFL course industry. And if you start reading through the blog you'll see t...

Thanks for the FAQ, John. Very useful list of topics.

I would add that as you get more experienced, preparation time goes down. In fact, at the very beginning it could actually be more than 20%. Preparation is one of the most important things. It's what gives you confidence in the (online) classroom.

Just IMHO :)

I will answer some points: Firstly is this feasible? Yes Where is the best place to get a TEFL qualification online? What is the minimum qualification I should aim for? TEFL CERTIFICATE. I think there are now courses that focus on teaching online though whether part of the TEFL course or an add-on I...

It might be why every link in these forums seems to be rel=nofollow.

Hi all I'm considering doing an online course in how to teach IELTS. Does anyone have any advice on which courses are well respected by language learners and employers, or any advice on which ones adequately teach you how to teach IELTS? Thanks in advance Not a course as such but this article about...
