TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) or TEFL (Teaching English as Foreign Language) are international programs for teachers who are willing to carry their teaching skills overseas. Both are similar to each other in their approach to English language instruction for the non-native speakers. These popular teaching programs are also termed as ELT (English Language Teaching) or Teaching ESL (Teaching English as Second Language). Today, TESOL/TEFL programs are considered best in the field of teaching English language in the non-native English speaking countries. These courses not only allow you to teach English for academic purposes but also for communication, needed in real life situations. TESOL/TEFL courses are competently designed programs that enable you to learn beyond the norm and get access to the international teaching industry. It is no more a mystery that English has become the global language for business and communication; that is why English teachers are in huge demand and the requirement of quality TESOL/TEFL teachers is desirous across the globe. As the teachers are expected to deal with non-native speakers, the approach of teaching used in these courses is different from the traditional methods of teaching English. The teachers need to work with effective English instruction and there is no scope for experiments. The teachers need to learn the TESOL/TEFL methodologies and various techniques to make it as instructive as possible. Subsequently, the teachers need to understand the job role and responsibilities. As the course is developed considering the qualities one EFL/ESL teacher should have, hence the courses comprises all the detail guidelines required to excel in this professional field of teaching. It only talks about the proven methods in practical field of EFL teaching. The opportunity to teach English overseas sounds like a dream to many. To teach English abroad, an ESL teaching qualification like a TEFL/TESOL certificate is a mandatory criterion. Though some programs require a bachelor's degree, many countries hire English teachers without a degree or teaching experience as long as they speak English fluently and have a TESOL/TEFL certification. Countries in the Middle East have stricter requirements for potential teachers. Generally, a bachelor's degree is one of the requirements for teaching English abroad. However, there are exceptions to this with many countries across the globe that accept candidates with only a TEFL/TESOL certificate. The demand for English teaching positions in foreign countries has significantly increased in recent years. This is especially visible in South East Asian countries, European countries and in the Middle East, where TEFL/TESOL are mandatory qualifications for teachers ready to teach any subject. Some countries even make TESOL /TEFL a requirement in order to get a work visa. This is more evident in Japan, China, Taiwan, Thailand, and South Korea's EPIK teaching program.
