TEFL Certificate
So you are interested in teaching English abroad?
The first step to teaching abroad is obtaining a recognized TEFL certification. TEFL, which stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language, is an introductory teaching qualification that most hiring schools worldwide require. Successfully completing a TEFL course and getting a TEFL certificate will allow you to teach almost anywhere in the world. The internationally recognized TEFL certificate offered by The Language House in Prague gives graduates the qualifications needed to teach English worldwide. They offer 4-week intensive courses on a monthly basis and successfully send new teachers off into the field with jobs each month. The Language House courses meet and exceed international guidelines for teacher training and The Language House is a member of IATEFL.
The second step is finding a location where you want to teach. The Language House graduates are currently teaching all over Prague as well as the rest of the world including Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America and Western Europe.

"The Language House was a challenging and rich experience that fully prepared me to teach English at a quality level. It stands apart from the hundreds of other TEFL courses because it's TEFL and language school that instills in its students a grammatical and pedagogical foundation upon which original, creative, and fun lessons can be created and taught. I think, however, what truly makes the Language House unique and remarkable is its staff. These are people that genuinely care about the well-being of their students both inside and outside of the classroom and possess a lot of ingenuity, intelligence, and talent for what they do. I am prepared and confident in any area of TEFL whether its teaching 1 student or 30, interviewing for (and getting) a job, communicating to a class without words, or explaining the intricate details of English grammar. The Language House is just that damn good."
