120-Hour TESOL/TEFL

This is Jayson Benoza De Asis, a Filipino teacher here in Thailand. As a teacher for almost two decades, I believe learning is a life-long process. Regardless of your age and work experience, we should yearn to develop our teaching skills more to impart quality education to our students whether in a classroom or online setting.

Two years ago, I was traveling while scrolling my phone on my social media account when I saw on my feeds about World TESOL Academy. I read about the 120-hour TESOL/TEFL course, and after a few minutes of reading about their course, reasonable fees, and accreditation, I enrolled right away. The next day, I started studying the course modules. I was so delighted to learn day by day. Each module made me recall my lessons when I was schooling during my college days. As I dig into every unit, I learn new innovative things that are essential and relevant to different ages and various learning circumstances. It was so enjoyable and worth studying for. Moreover, I get especially excited when I take the unit assessments and final test.

Finally, there is no hassle with documentation. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. Studying at World TESOL Academy is one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself. I recommend World TESOL Academy to all aspiring teachers who want to teach the English language to non-native-speaking countries and even to seasoned educators who want to amplify their teaching approach to prepare and equip the students of this new generation globally.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Fried worm. Exotic foods are so common here in Thailand. One day, I gave it a try with my friend.
Pros
  • 1. Very useful in my teaching profession.
  • 2. The course recalled my lessons when I was a student.
  • 3. The certificate is helpful when finding part-time or full-time job globally.

Useful & Practical

I found the 120 hour Tefl/Tesol course very useful and easy to understand. I have been an educator for the majority of my professional life, however have not been in a classroom for almost a decade. The lessons and tips resonated with me, and I often found myself nodding in agreement to the suggestions being offered. New to me was the prospect of teaching online, and this section greatly expanded my understanding and excitement towards gaining employment. I am looking forward to embarking on this new adventure of teaching and cultural interactions and thank the creators of this curriculum for helping get me on my way! Salamat (I’m in the Philippines right now 😁)

Excellent and easy

This course has helped me review most topics that as an elementary teacher sometimes forget. It has helped me in my professional career since in México city teaching English as a second language is starting to be taking into a more serious approach and with this course I was able to expand my resume and provide more strategies and teaching to my students. It was easy and reachable. Super happy to be able to have this opportunity in the country I am in without having to leave or to make it more complicated to do my TEFL/TESOL certification. Also I find it super helpful that the certification is double and can be used worldwide without having to make many more certifications.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?

  • Easy and quick to access
  • Reachable and very well explained
  • You can do it on your own time

Engaging and Well-Structured Course with Room for More Practical Examples

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with this course. The plot form and structure were easy to follow, and the materials provided were both comprehensive and engaging. I particularly appreciated the way the information was presented—it made learning complex topics accessible and enjoyable. Overall, I was very satisfied with the course content and delivery.

If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to incorporate more real-life examples and make the experience a bit more fun. This would further enhance the practical application of the material and keep students even more engaged.

Great program

I recently completed my TESOL/TEFL certification, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! The program was well-structured, covering everything from lesson planning to classroom management, making me feel confident to teach English. The content was knowledgeable, supportive, and provided practical, real-world insights. I especially enjoyed the interactive components, which allowed for hands-on practice. The course was engaging and flexible, perfect for fitting into a busy schedule. Overall, it was an enjoyable and rewarding journey, and I feel fully prepared for my teaching career!

Interesting Course!

I learned a lot about how to teach English as a second language, I have always loved to teach because it allows me to build relationships with children, teenagers and adults and I can help them to reach their achivements. So this course has enough tools for you to teach English face to face or online. I learned how to keep students motivated in spite of their restless, how to avoid boredom in my class and make them engaging. I'm motivated to teach English overseas while traveling. It would be amazing.

What would you improve about this program?
Include more videos showing how other teachers teach with different teaching techniques, and reviews of the students.

Enjoyable Course

I thoroughly enjoyed my online course. It was a great refresher on the English language that I learned back when I was a child. It was very easy to read and understand the course and questions. I feel like I might even choose to start another one of your online courses, to expand my knowledge even more before I jump into the classroom. I feel that you provided a lot of information on things like, job opportunities from online schools and such who we can maybe gain employment from.

Thank you.

Experiencing TESOL for the first time

It was good to learn essential knowledge you need to know before you start your teaching job. TESOL gave me a new eye-opening source and technological platform to further improve my online teaching. The quizzes after each module were nice and fun to answer. Although one thing I'd like to comment is the way the participants can answer the same questions for four time at the final exam. Other then that, the overall learning experience with TESOL team is pretty awesome. Thank you to the board of service provider for creating such a nice and effective platform for English learners around the world.

What was your funniest moment?
When I thought I have finished the chapters, there were still more coming up. (Trust me, some modules have pretty long lessons to complete.)
Pros
  • Fun to learn
  • Beneficial to teachers
  • Quick to understanding the context
What other participants should know
  • Should include more topics about teaching to adults
  • Should provide the learners a free source to download some lessons
  • Should cover some problems TESOL teachers face with in their classes

Easy, enjoyable and recommend!

I enjoyed completing the TESOL, I found the course very easy to navigate and the content very relevant, it is broken down into very clear modules. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to get started with teaching ESL. If you don´t start teaching straight away following the course, I would definitley recommend purchasing the option that allows you to return to the course at anytime, there is a lot of content and terminology so it would be useful for you to be able to view the course content as and when you need a refresher.

This certification is an easy way to certify you as a TESOL and ESL and prove that you have the tools and the knowledge to make a change in people's lives. The training is very fast and the modules very easy to understand. If you are a traveler or an adventurer this is for you and get out of your comfort zone.

Enjoy life while teaching others this beautiful language.
