Online TEFL Teacher Training Courses

International TEFL Institute - ITEFLI:
The International TEFL Institute (ITEFLI) offers internationally-accredited and recognized online courses in Teaching English Language as a Foreign Language (TEFL). Our online TEFL certificate and master diploma courses are available to students in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and around the world. You may encounter similar acronyms such as ESL (English as a Second Language), TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of other Languages), ELT (English Language Teaching), and EFL (English as a Foreign Language). The main idea underlying these related concepts is that English has become an applied linguistic superhighway which travels on various parts of the world and has attracted passengers whose first language is not English.

Student Review:
"As I am 54 years old and was a bit reluctant to do the course as I was not sure what the course would entail. To my delight I discovered that the course was far easier than I expected.

Throughout the course I was excited to do the Modules and learned more than I expected. I wanted to achieve the Diploma as soon as possible, therefore I worked quickly through the Modules to submit the answering sheets for marking.

I thoroughly enjoyed doing the course and it felt great to obtain the Diploma, (originally I was only going to do the Certificate, but could not resist to carry on and obtain the Diploma)."
