Teaching to fund traveling...

Elba101

Hi,


I'm going to to a bit of traveling at the end of the year and maybe teach english in Korea. I'm just wondering has anyone done this and can tehy give me any advice? Also do I need a TEFL course?

Thanks!

You don't need a TEFL course but it would be an advantage. All you need to teach in Korea is a degree of any sort and that is for the Visa. I would say that the more TEFL hours you have the better the job.

Thanks a mill. You wouldn'y be able to recommend a place/company to do a TEFL course?

Do you want to teach and move around or teach in korea to save and then travel?

I don't know any places off hand but I wouldn't recommend doing an on-line course. I know that there is CELTA courses that run in Dublin, Cork and Belfast, ususally 2 weeks longish. They cost a bit more than standard TEFL courses but are the best to have as you get classroom experenice as part of the course.

4 weeks.. They're fine but very difficult and only for adults. A Tesol will teach you how to teach kids and is just as valuable almost everyone in the world.
