What is the purpose of TESOL? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT TEFL & TESOL
There is no single answer to this question as it can refer to different areas of the English teaching world. However, below we try to answer the most likely questions regarding the purpose of TESOL.
The simple fact is that the vast majority of ESL employers around the world expect their teachers to have the minimum qualification of a 120-hour TESOL or TEFL certificate. There are three main reasons for this:
Teaching is a profession and as with all professionals, we can expect that they have at least had the minimum required training to do what they do.
The main purpose of a TESOL certificate course is to give you an introduction to language awareness (English grammar and so on) and some basic teaching skills. Under these two headings a typical 120-hour course will include:

Which is better, TESOL or CELTA? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT TEFL & TESOL
The English teaching world is famous for its love of acronyms and TESOL and CELTA are two common ones that you are sure to have come across when researching English teaching overseas or online. Although these are both well known within the teaching community, they can still cause some confusion among new teachers in particular. So what do they stand for and which one is better?
TESOL stands for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. The term is used to refer to any training course or certification that is aimed at English speakers who want to teach English in their own country, overseas, or online. It does not refer to any individual course or certificate. A quick bit of research will reveal there are many different TESOL course providers out there and they offer a wide... [Read more]

The idea of TESOL standards could refer to several different areas of English language teaching and training. Below we take a look at some of them in detail.
These two terms are often confused as being the same thing, they are not. Accreditation relates to an external validation process, whereby a recognized body (such as a university) inspects the full course delivery and decides if it meets a set of criteria for that certificate level. Accreditation usually only takes place once for any particular course. An accreditation may need to be updated if the course or its contents significantly change.
Moderation is a continuous process. It is usually done annually for a fixed course, or as in the case of many TESOL courses, conducted on a course by course (monthly) basis. Moderation may... [Read more]
How much does TESOL certification cost? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT TEFL & TESOL
As there is no specific standardization when it comes to TESOL qualifications, it is up to each individual provider to decide how much to charge for each of their courses. If you go online and search for TESOL courses you will find there are many short-format options that are available for as little as US$50 or even less. However, before you sign up for a course you should ask yourself two very important questions.
Will the certification you receive be seen as sufficient by employers in the country or region where you want to teach?
Will the course provide you with enough preparation for everything you will face once you step into your first real classroom?
The best advice here is to never choose a TESOL course based on its price alone. The course content and its reputation with... [Read more]
What is an ESL teaching certificate? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT TEFL & TESOL
Acronyms associated with English language learners include ESL, EFL and ESOL. They all essentially mean the same thing in that these are learners of English, whose first or native language is not English.

Most employers around the world require some form of teaching certification for you to be employed as a teacher. This is true of both government based schools, private language centers and many online teaching companies.
