The debate has existed for years: CELTA or others. I am in the U.A.E. with job offers in Kuwait and Saudi, but don't want to go. I have a Master of Science in Education (NOT AN MA!!!!!!!) and 3 years experience. Unfortunately, I don't have teacher certification. I am looking for an accredited and well-known certification program to get into. I don't want an online certificate, because I figure employers can spot an online certificate in a heartbeat. More importantly, I really want to learn the important things about the teaching process in EFL teaching. Therefore I desire a genuine classrooom atmosphere. Yet, I don't know if I want to go for the CELTA, because I don't want to continue teaching long-term. I would like to teach two more years and then get out. So I am looking for something that is recognized internationally and could get me a position with a higher salary than past EFL employers and provide me the opportunity to toss some more money in the bank before getting out of the EFL field. Yet I would also like something that EFL employers respect in case I decide to re-enter the EFL field a few years from now. I am looking for something that begins in mid to late August and am willing to travel to other parts of Asia, Europe, South America, or the U.S., but would desire something in the U.A.E. if possible. All advice is welcome. Thank you. |
