Questions regarding certification
Posted: Sat Apr 01, 2006 10:30 pm
OK, my wife and I are seriously considering taking a TEFL course and traveling overseas to teach for a year. I am looking for some advice.
First of all, how do you know if you have a good TEFL certification program? It appears the ciriculum is very abitrary, without any standard for accreditation.
How does a TEFL certification compare to a CELTA certificate?
I could take a CELTA course for roughly the same cost as a TEFL course, but it is only offered in a handful of locations.
Also, what country would be preferable: Taiwan, China or Korea?
