Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the difference between ESL and EFL?
English as a Second Language (ESL) is English taught to non-native speakers who live in an English-speaking country.
This would be the case, for example, with a refugee living and studying English in the United States. English as a Foreign
Language (EFL) is English taught to non-native speakers who live in a non-English-speaking country. This would be the
case with a Korean student studying English in his home country.
2. Why Online TEFL / TESOL Training?
Cost and convenience are the advantages of online TEFL certificate programs. These courses can be completed from any
computer anywhere in the world and usually cost a fraction of on-site programs.
If spending a month in another city or paying the tuition of an on-site course is not feasible for you, a distance
/online program is your best option. Online programmes are likewise a good choice if you are unsure about teaching as
a career and are not ready to invest the time and money in a regular TEFL course. Like on-site programs, online TEFL
courses are not standardized and you need to do your homework. For help identifying a good online course, read the next
FAQ.
3. How do I choose a good Online TEFL / TESOL course?
There are a number of things you should ask when evaluating an Online TESOL / TEFL course. Are the school’s courses
validated? Is the organization an established institution in the language business? Are the tutors professionals with
experience in the field? Does the school provide transcripts (academic record) or recommendations for program graduates?
4. Do I really need a TESOL / TEFL certificate to teach English abroad?
Although schools in some parts of the world may require only that you be a native speaker, most institutions prefer to hire
teachers with some training. And in an increasingly competitive environment, it’s an absolute necessity at some schools.
In any case, having a TESOL or TEFL certificate on your C.V. will make the difference between you and another native
English speaker, and can increase your chances of working at a better school and/or receiving a higher salary.
5. Do I have to be a native speaker to enrol on a TESOL / TEFL course?
No. In order to enroll on a TEFL course at the TEFL Training College, you must have a level of English proficiency that
enables you to follow the programme and satisfactorily complete course requirements. This is a level at which the applicant
makes few or no errors in English.
6. Where can I teach with this certificate?
This certificate prepares you for a teaching job in any country you choose. Popular teaching destinations include Japan,
Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, China, the European countries,
South America…and much more!
Go-TEFL Brochure 5
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
7. Does this certificate enable me to teach ESL / EFL in public / international schools?
As many countries are in dire need of ESL teachers, they will often hire people with a TESOL / TEFL certificate. Often, they
require the teacher to have a degree or diploma. Language schools, on the other hand, will employ teachers in possession
of a certificate only.

Preliminary CertificatePre-Cert.(ES) TESOL (100 hrs.)
Who is the course for?The Preliminary Certificate of Educational Studies in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages programme aims
to provide a Basic Introduction to the teaching of English to speakers of other languages for those who are unfamiliar with
the field.
This course is aimed at those persons who are in possession of a School Leaving Certificate and wish to attain an Entry
Level qualification in order to teach English. This Course will equip the prospective teacher with the necessary entry level
skills to enter the classroom with the necessary confidence and understanding of relevant techniques.
Course Aims & ObjectivesHow will the course prepare you for teaching abroad?
In many ways an online TEFL course is actually more effective than a full-time course. Not only is the online course longer
but it also takes a more theoretical approach to teacher training that will benefit you throughout your career. It will give you
a solid foundation to build upon, adding experience and further qualifications if and when you desire.
Every module will take you through a different aspect of teaching abroad, giving you all the time you need to take the
information in. While the full-time course devotes a significant portion of its study time to planning and giving lessons, the
online course ensures that you fully understand TEFL methodology so that when you take up your first teaching position
you can apply it in the classroom.
You may find that your first days of actual teaching are challenging but the rewards of an Online course extend far beyond
simply preparing you for the first week. Indeed, the in-depth content of the online course is something you will come back
to again and again. Your thorough understanding of TEFL theory and methodology will be invaluable as you progress
through your career and will enable you to quickly develop and excel within your new role. What’s more, the Online TEFL
course will enable you to better understand the needs of your class and to assess individual members more effectively to
ensure that they are receiving the help that they need. The most prominent debate surrounding Online TEFL courses is the
complete absence of practical teaching experience. The course Video Clips will certainly help and what’s more, if you’re
planning to work abroad for more than a year, your online course will be perfectly complimented by the practical teaching
experience you will receive.
Course Aims
For the Preliminary Certificate programme as a whole the overall aim is to provide a basic introduction to the teaching of
English to speakers of other languages for those who are unfamiliar with the field. With the TTC Online Learning course,
you can enroll and begin the programme at anytime during the academic year –whenever it suits you! This course aims
to provide students with new insights into language teaching, providing a deeper understanding of the principles and
practice of English language teaching to foreign young learners and adults. The focus of the course is on both practical and
theoretical aspects of English Language Teaching and will prepare the prospective teacher for an exciting and rewarding
career in many different locations around the globe!
