Online TEFL Course

The International TEFL Corporation:
The International TEFL Corporation (TITC) is a professional training organization dedicated to raising standards of teaching and professionalism in the EFL (English as a Foreign Language) industry worldwide. TITC offers the following accredited, practical online certificate courses: TEFL Certificate, TEFL Diploma, Business English, Young Learners. Our online TEFL courses are studied 100% by distance learning and can be taken with or without the support of a personal online tutor. As it is an online TEFL course there is no classroom time and no teaching practice component. You will however, have the opportunity to see actual lessons taking place through CD-ROM and with our new DVD TEFL course it is even more like being in the classroom. TITC also offers combined TEFL courses that unite our online and residential courses, and classroom TEFL courses.

What is TEFL/TESOL?
The above question is probably the one we find ourselves answering the most. The use of these acronyms (amongst others) can be rather confusing, especially as they are frequently used interchangeably. Below is a list of definitions which, hopefully, should clarify their meanings:

- TEFL - Teaching English as a Foreign Language. This term is predominantly used when English is being taught in a country where it isn’t the native language (for example teaching English to Spanish people in Spain).
- TESL - Teaching English as a Second Language. This is where English is being taught to non-native speakers of English in a country where it is the native language (for example teaching immigrants to the UK/USA).
- TESOL - Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. This term theoretically encompasses both of the above.
- ELT - This stands for English Language Teaching and is mainly used by institutions in the UK.

Whilst there are slight differences in theory, these terms are often used interchangeably and it should not make any real difference to your future career and job prospects whether you receive a TEFL or a TESOL certificate.

Combined Course:
Our combined course unites our online and residential course. The course allows you to study the theoretical principles and theories of teaching and language awareness at your own pace and in the comfort of your own home/office and also gives you the time to absorb the theories of EFL teaching. Once the online component has been completed, it is then complimented with attendance for a short period at one of our training centers to gain practical classroom teaching experience, with observation of your lessons by an experienced teacher trainer. Attendance at one of our training centers gives you the opportunity to put the theory you have learned in the online course into practice.
