[quote=GUESTKOREANKLEET,364715]Here is my experience/opinion on this matter: I also did a 1 month TEFL International course in Thailand, having never taught before. I must say that although TEFL International diplomas count for virtually nothing in terms of official teaching certifications, it did help me with ideas for the ESL classroom, and boosted my confidence as a result. It opened my eyes to the possible problems one might encounter in an EFL classroom and how to do deal with these, and as such, prepared me for my first time entering a 40+ classroom. Following my month with TEFL International, and my subsequent 4 months public school placement with them, i continue to be an EFL teacher 2 years down the line, and what I believe to be an enthusiastic and confident one at that. I do have a word of warning however. I have read many negative posts on the company in question, and do advise to approach with caution, but despite the below-par quality of the course from a teaching qualification aspect, there are MANY positives i gained from the course that i have kept until now. I hope this helps anybody who, like me, was in a tough financial situation, unable to afford a proper CELTA qualification, yet eager to teach English in a positive way to people who need it, and dont have the opportunity to receive it...and lets face it - many positions in Asia and the rest of the world do not require anything more than just a bachelors degree. regards, koreankleet[/quote]
