the blonde one Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) I'm interested in teaching ESL later in life, preferably teaching in different countries as I know it's really hard to find a job where I live now. Is anyone else interested too? Just curious as to what universities you're applying to, etc. Edited August 20, 2013 by annabelle9 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka Petrovic Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'm not biased or anything, going to UoT, but they have a ton of language programmes. I was personally looking at some of the translations ones. I'm sure they will have something that will set you on that path. That being said as far as I know, you have to be a teacher to do that job. That would require both a degree and going to teachers college, just a heads up! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And actually I think you don't need teacher's college to teach in other countries - but if I were to teach in my own area I would. It's confusing haha, still trying to figure it out. But even if I wanted to teach ESL in other countries it would be smart to go to teacher's college too as a back up kinda thing Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandwich Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 It's quite common here to do a TEFL course here in order to teach english during your gap year or whatever. I really wanted to do one because they only have jobs for people who are qualified, as a rule (and understandably, I guess!) but they are very expensive. Even the ones at University (at least at mine) you have to pay £££ hundreds for.I don't know if you need a university degree to do a lot of TEFL courses, to be honest. Most courses here are private and give you the same qualification at the end. University-run courses are exactly the same but often much more expensive. Perhaps it's different in Canada but when I researched it, that's how it was. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
