Although I struggled to complete and graduate any course any but world TEFL academy made it so easy for me and my ADHD to actually accomplish something in my life. So I have to say my review and experience was excellent and I hope to be able to put the knowledge given to me in good use. This program with using go pros is definitely a good way to encourage others. It is always a good tactive to help students when they can see the other side. And aren't just bombarded with words and books and work. So thank you.

I'm glad I was encouraged to take this course by the support team just when I was about to apply for a refund from the course. It has saved my money, time and energy. I like the pace of of this course and how elaborate the course is. This course has given me the confidence to do more advanced work in the English language. I believe that what I am being asked to learn in this course is important. The modules were appropriate to the goals of the course. The written assignments contributed to my knowledge of the course material and understanding of the subject.I'm grateful!

Ive been away in the field of teaching for almost a year already. This course is really a good refresher to start teaching online. I love how they summarize the content of the course from English Language and Reading. It is like you won`t waste every knowledge they have put in the course. I love to take down notes of activities they have that can really use in actual classroom or online. The context are very understandable. The video demo are really good. Every lessons I finish, I am excited to answer the quizzes. Its a fulfilling that you needed to focus and understand it slowly and aiming one try quiz to pass. Thank you TESOL Academy.

I was surprise I took and passed the Final Test in one try. :)

I am honoured to write my experience on this course . It's a fab experience. They explain you everything profound
I like how they focus on little little and deep detailed according to students personality and nationality I really like it. I also want to comment on tutor experience they are also very sweet she always respond to my question whenever I have difficulty also I like the observe the video how teacher Jay explain the students in very playful and cheerful way it's help me alot how to create a environment in class . so overall it's a great experience.

What would you improve about this program?

Honestly I would like to put more videos like the( observe the video) type rather than writing to much I prefer to put more video's personally it was easy for me to understand the context they are explaining by writing and I hope it was useful for you.

Pros

Pros are you can do this course anywhere , anytime
You can save the time
Easy way to study

Cons

Too much writing
Many levels
Not much interesting games related to course

This course presents a comprehensive overview of many aspects of teaching, many of which may be new or serve as a great refresher. A bit heavy on the teaching of kids though older age groups are also discussed.

You will encounter many aspects of teaching which you will recognize but now see in a different light as you need to present as the teacher and not the student. Queen's English is used in places (whilst) while in other areas it isn't. But easy enough to get through, take some time to consider each point being covered. It's a really good exercise!

What was your funniest moment?

I did not have any

Pros

solid overview

Cons

The online portion does not look up to date and was the least helpful
Do totally separate sections for young kids, teenagers and adults. The way it is presented you are jumping around a lot by age group and adults hardly got covered.
You should offer a way to do 20 hours in-school teaching to achieve a full certificate that many schools require.

Completing the World TESOL Academy English Teaching Course has been a rewarding and transformative experience for me. The curriculum is quite comprehensive. I liked how the modules were designed, they were not too long and they covered a wide range of topics. Each module was delivered clearly and concisely, with a mini quiz at the end of each module as a revision.

The online platform is user-friendly and it contains demo videos, images, and quizzes which enhanced my learning experience. I am now ready and confident to start my teaching journey now!

What would you improve about this program?

Providing an extensive and up-to-date resource library with a wide range of teaching materials, lesson plans, and supplementary resources would be beneficial for both current students and alumni. This would serve as a valuable reference for teachers, saving them time and effort in lesson preparation.

Pros

Comprehensive Curriculum: The course offers a comprehensive curriculum that covers a wide range of topics, including lesson planning, classroom management, and language acquisition.
Flexible Learning: The course structure allows for flexible learning, allowing students to study at their own pace and fit their studies around their existing commitments.
Practical Teaching: The course incorporates practical teaching examples, allowing students to apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios.

Cons

Limited Practical Classroom Experience: While the course incorporates practical teaching opportunities, the extent of hands-on experience may be limited.
Limited Practical Feedback: While the course incorporates practical teaching opportunities, the feedback provided on teaching practice sessions may be limited in scope.
Lack of Offline Resources: The course primarily utilizes an online platform for delivery, which could be challenging for individuals with limited internet access or who prefer offline learning materials.

First, I am honored to be able to share my experience with everyone. Thank you. I want to start off by saying that although this journey was an enduring one, the reward was worth it in the end. To anyone starting out - make sure to take frequent breaks, drink lots of water, and do research when need be. The information that is provided within this course is absolutely thorough, however, I would recommend doing any outside research that feels right based on your need(s). Otherwise, stay strong and know that achievement is knocking at your doorstep! This course will take you through the ends and outs of all requirements and knowledge needed to succeed in the ESL field whether online or in a classroom setting across the world. With that said, I wish every learner - past, present, and future the very best of luck in your future endeavors.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?

The most nerve-racking experience was having to prepare for the first interview experience but following the tips given towards the end of the course I was able to successfully make a great impression on some potential employers.

Pros

The courses were able to be done at my pace.
The incorrect answers were able to be reviewed if the score was 80% or above and the quiz could be retaken for a better grade.
The instructions were easy to follow and the pages information was relevant and up-to-date.

Cons

The hard-copy of the certification costs around $40 at the end which is not notated before signing up for the course. I should have done more research because that made the total cost around $100. Crazy!

Before taking this course, I had no clue of how to teach a class here in Japan. Now i have a good idea of how to start. The course helped remind me of proper English grammar, since i been out of school for so long. Also learned some techniques on how to run a classroom and try to have fun doing it. I hope to find some work to help people to learn English.
Teaching young children will be a challenge but should be fun. I'm thinking of different props to use and purchase. This might open up opportunity to do online classes also. I have to look for some equipment now to get ready for a new career.

Alumni Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with verified alumni.

Why did you choose this program?

I chose the accredited 120-hour TESOL/TEFL program to enhance my skills in teaching English to speakers of other languages. This certification allows me to effectively communicate and teach in diverse cultural settings, enriching my volunteer work and supporting my passion for education and travel...

What did your program provider (or university) assist you with, and what did you have to organize on your own?

My program provider assisted me with comprehensive course materials, guidance from experienced instructors, and a structured curriculum to ensure I met the requirements for TESOL/TEFL certification. I had to organize my study schedule, complete assignments independently, and manage any additional resources needed to supplement my learning.

What is one piece of advice you'd give to someone going on your program?

One piece of advice I'd give to someone considering this program is to leverage your organizational skills. As a very organized person, I found that creating a structured study plan and setting regular goals were crucial to staying on track and maximizing the benefits of the program. This approach ensures you manage your time effectively and get the most out of the experience.

What does an average day/week look like as a participant of this program?

An average day or week involves self-directed study and practical application. You would spend time exploring course materials, conducting personal research, and integrating what you’ve learned into your daily encounters. This could include reviewing theoretical concepts, developing lesson plans, and reflecting on how to apply these strategies in real-world settings. Regularly engaging with the material and experimenting with your newfound knowledge in practical situations will help reinforce your learning.

Going into your experience abroad, what was your biggest fear, and how did you overcome it? How did your views on the issue change?

Going into my experience teaching English as a foreign language overseas, my biggest fear was not being able to effectively connect with and engage my students due to language barriers and cultural differences. I worried that my limited experience in new cultural settings might make it challenging to communicate and build rapport.

I overcame this fear by investing time in learning about the local culture and customs, actively seeking feedback from students and colleagues, and adapting my teaching methods to better suit their needs. As I gained more experience and confidence, I realized that being flexible and open to learning from my students greatly enhanced my teaching effectiveness. My views on the issue evolved as I understood that building relationships and understanding local contexts are key to successful teaching abroad.

Write and answer your own question.

Question: What is one memorable experience from teaching English abroad that you would like to share, and is there anything you would have done differently?

Answer: One memorable experience from teaching English abroad was organizing a cultural exchange event where my students and I shared stories and traditions from our respective cultures. It was heartwarming to see my students gain confidence in their English-speaking skills and equally rewarding to learn about their backgrounds.

If I could do anything differently, I would have started incorporating these cultural exchange activities earlier in my teaching. They not only made the learning environment more engaging but also helped bridge cultural gaps and fostered a deeper connection with my students. This experience highlighted the importance of integrating cultural elements into language teaching to make lessons more meaningful and interactive.
