I'm in the process of getting an MA in TESOL. I don' have teaching experience but I do substitute teach in my local school district. My question is will I need to get some kind of other certificate like DELTA or something later on down the road? or am I ok with just the MA TESOL?  |
The certificates (CELTA, Trinity, SIT, the generics) are entry-level certifications for teaching adults. Many MATESOL programs are geared toward teaching children in the government indoctrination centers (public schools). |

You are correct. You do not need a certificate--your MA TESOL is more than enough for most jobs. When I got my MA TESOL, I also had the opportunity to teach real students and be mentored at the university--do you get that opportunity? |

Mine sure wasn't!
In terms of paper qualifications, no, you should not have to go back and get another certificate. Your lack of teaching experience might hurt you, though.

| I got a TEFL Diploma but it's nothing compared to an MA. I am nearly finished my MA in TESOL and I am sorry that I didn't start it earlier instead of doing the TEFL Diploma. Well at least it gave me a taste for teaching. |
