This week, I want to focus on something a little lighter yet regarded as quite important if you were to move to an Asian country - The Greeting.
Graduation day brings with it a roller coaster of emotions for grads and their families alike. It’s a time of celebration and achievement. There is reflection on past trials and successes as well as hope for the future.
TEFL graduation is exciting—it sparks hope for the future and invites graduates to dream big.
A lot of our articles have focused on TEFL teachers and those pursuing the career with the assumption that they're single and have the freedom to drop their relationship at home and go abroad. However, there have been situations where a couple decide to follow down this path together.
Finishing your TEFL course is no easy task, what with the intensity and vast curriculum you'd need to cover. To make matters worse, most of the advice people share involves choosing the course or planning for life after you graduate, but very little touches on getting through the intensive classes and passing your exams. So in this article, we shall take at a few tips that can help you graduate your TEFL course with flying colors.
Something they very rarely teach you in TEFL courses yet is supremely important in your TEFL journey is classroom management. It's not that TEFL courses are intentionally skipping over a vital component but that unless the academy stresses on practical training, like the TEFL Madrid, there's very little opportunity for you to learn about it. Even if you're an experienced teacher, when you step into the class on a new day and see commotion, it's easy to let it overpower your senses.
It must be a very proud moment for you. Chasing a dream requires your efforts and passion. Hard work isn't over when you graduated. It's just a break as you enter the new battlefields of life. Good luck and congratulations! You truly deserve the success! I'm sure that on your graduation day you feel a lot smarter.
In my message I wish you to set your goals high, and won't stop till you get there!
TEFL teachers don't just stand before a classroom of second language learners, or a school of young kids and elucidate the basics of the English language. Sure, group classes are a major part of your TEFL journey; however if you're looking for something more lucrative or a job profile that doesn't call for full day attendance, then one to one coaching might just be your calling.
As you might know, searching for a job and gaining employment can be quite a task, especially in this ultra competitive environment and downturned economy we're under. However, the whole process is magnified when it comes to searching for jobs in a foreign country where the process, the culture, geography and even the market is completely alien.
Chase your dreams. Burst out at the seams. Never stop trying. Never stop learning. Live life to the fullest and give it nothing but your best.
My wish for you is that this life becomes all that you want it to. Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small and that you never need to carry more than you can hold. There is a lot that awaits you, congrats graduates.
The Team,
TEFL MADRID ACADEMY
When you're in a classroom with foreign students, it's inevitable that you'll find differences and be pitted against their culture which just seems alien to you. This would be magnified with TEFL because the English language itself is closely connected with its western culture and customs.
