Since I was planning to explore teaching overseas, I began to look for a TESOL certification where I could learn and get help with my requirements. Then, I happened to search on Google. With unnumbered sites, I made the decision to choose World TESOL Academy, and it didn't bring me down. The approach was very clear, given the examples and illustrations. I also had a little problem with my name in my certification, and they resolved it immediately without any further conflicts. I finished the course and was glad I made it. Thank you WTA Family and may you continue helping future teachers! Cheers!

Study study and study! And don’t be afraid to reach out to the tutors-thats what they’re there for!

Pros

easy to access
very informative
Affordable

Cons

lots of study needed

I have completed my 120 Hours TESOL / TEFL Certification in 2022. It’s really help me in teaching young learners of English as second language. As I love to teach young learners and found this course very helpful in teaching ESL to young learners.
Currently I am working as an ESL teacher in china. I am passionate about my profession. Teaching is a profession which creates all the other professions.
I recommend the teachers who are teaching English as second language , this academy “World Tesol Academy” provides you authentic and helpful courses in teaching English.

What was your funniest moment?

When I first came to china and trying to spoke a unknown language.

The program was so exciting and rich. I learned a lot from each lesson. From the introductory lesson given details about the program to the core content, I was so thrilled.

As an English language student and teacher, I learned new ways of presenting a lesson, classroom management and lesson planning. Also, the online teaching techniques I learned were so overwhelming.

For new students/teachers, I wish to say taking this Course will empower your knowledge in English language and equally make you a quality and confident English teacher.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?

A video lesson where the teacher used the drawing of a monster to teach and explain different language skills.
It was so unique for me because I never thought one can use a negative thing to bring out positive lessons.

Pros

Lessons were very practical
Students were given the opportunity to name the parts
The class was lively, fun and interactive

Cons

The monster having three or more heads was frightful picture expanple
Not every child is good at drawing
Much writing was unnecessary

I’ve been teaching English in China for the past five years as a foreign language now and I can say that this is the best job of my life. When I studied for my Master’s at university as an ESL teacher, I had already heard about TESOL but I didn’t have time to finish the course. Now I decided to do it and I got my TEFL and TEYL certificates.

I can absolutely recommend World TESOL Academy to everyone because this is exactly the course that you’re going to need if you would like to teach abroad and offline and online. I didn’t just refresh what I’d known before, but I also learned a lot of things about pedagogy and language teaching. I enjoyed everything with the course, but my favorite was the online classroom part. So go for it, get your certificate. It’s worth it and you won’t regret your decision!

What was your funniest moment?

First kindergarten in china

It became a great tool to understand and do the lessons and quizzes. I found it is more self regulatory, encouraging and exciting. Thank you for designing such a wonderful platform. Regarding my education, I have already done in MEd and MA in major English. Currently, I have been teaching the students of a University. My subject is Business English and Managerial Communication but what I learnt from this World TESOL Academy is very useful, interesting and adaptable. I am pretty sure that I will make my classes more professional and interesting in coming future. I had been working in China as an English Teacher at Middle School in ChangChung Province in 2010. Now this course has given me many more new insights and confidence not only understand but to apply in my classroom.

What was your funniest moment?

Mark whether the sentence below is true or false:
“Unlike with listening or speaking, small mistakes with a student’s writing can be easy to hide and rarely cause problems.”

True
False
I made mistake first time thinking in a opposite way because I had read the question properly.

Pros

I found the package encouraging.
There is a beautiful harmony between the text and quizzes.
Result is computerized so prompt response.

Cons

It would be better if there is sometimes live session from the experts.
Opinion based questions at least one would be better after the quizzes.
Nothing

Warm Greetings from the country of Mt Everest

Great content for its price. I was doubtful at first, but after the first few units it hit me that the course had a lot of material to study. I had experience teaching private students before so it was comforting to see that the contents were correctly presented in the course. I learned many new tips and developed some new skills to manage small groups. I finished my course on Sunday and my certificate is arriving this Friday.

I hope to take some of the other courses World Tesol Academy offers. They are worth the price!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?

I would have alloted more time to complete the program. It took me lonnger than I expected, but it was because of me not putting time away to study earlier.

Pros

Price
Platform
Validity

Cons

Not enough videos
No material available for download

Overall this is an adequate and comprehensive training program for new aspiring teachers. The format of concise text with a few videos demonstrating teaching in practice is straightforward and easy to follow. Yet the quizzes are extremely basic, easy and predictable; they lend themselves to one not really understanding the distinctions in the material shared. The particular insights into online teaching and frequent discussion of different classroom management strategies is well placed and appreciated.

Alumni Interviews

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.
