TEFL Courses Abroad
What is TEFL?
Knowledge of the English language and the ability to use this language is rapidly becoming a valuable global commodity due to the fact that the English language is in ever increasing demand throughout the world.
All About Languages not only offers our clients the opportunity to learn foreign languages abroad but also the tools to learn how to teach the English language to those who strive to learn it.
Teaching English abroad is one of the best ways to support yourself financially while living abroad.
At present there is a great worldwide desire to communicate in English and, as a result, there is a huge demand for trained and skilled teachers of English. The standard, international qualification required is a TEFL certificate or TESOL certificate.
With this qualification you are able to put your English skills to good use and to find employment throughout the world.

What is the difference between TEFL / TESOL?
This question can be complicated, we will try to clarify below:
- TEFL – Teaching English as a Foreign Language: This term is predominantly used when English is being taught in a country where it isn’t the native language (for example teaching English to Spanish people in Spain).
- TESL - Teaching English as a Second Language: This is where English is being taught to non-native speakers of English in a country where it is the native language (for example teaching emigrants to the UK/USA).
- TESOL - Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages: This term theoretically encompasses all of the above.
- ELT - English Language Teaching: This term is mainly used by institutions in the U.K.
Although there are slight differences in theory, these terms are often used interchangeably. It should not make any real difference to your future career and job prospects whether you receive a TEFL certificate or a TESOL certificate.
