If you've ever thought about becoming a teacher but you are not quite sure how to put your teaching dream in practice; if you imagine yourself traveling the world, or living overseas in an exotic city but don't know how you would pay for that lifestyle; if you want a second, third or retirement career, but want to maintain your independence, here is an idea: Just do it! Become a teacher of English!

You may have questions like these: Do I know enough about English to teach it? How would I find a job? Who would be my students? How on earth would I find time to get an advanced degree? These can be easily addressed in just a few words: Don't worry, and don't make it complicated!

First of all, if you are a native- or near-native speaker of English you are already halfway there; and second, if your time and finances are limited you should check out TEFL Town at BAE. It's the best place for teacher wannabes to become professional teachers of English as a Second or Foreign language at a fraction of the cost and time of a college-based program. In just four weeks of the intensive weekday program, or 12 Saturdays, and for a cost of about $2,500, you can earn your certificate and be ready to start your new career!

Prepare yourself well for your new career as a Teacher of English as a Foreign Language with BAE's accredited, 120 hour, courses designed specifically to do that. Our focused instruction teaches you the methodologies and skills necessary to be a successful teacher. You will learn classroom management strategies, communication skills, technology integration methods, error correction, and the most effective methods for delivering the English language to your students. BAE also has a student teaching experience that allows our students to gain real world experience teaching ESL students with the guidance of their professor. This program will make sure you are ready to teach others.

Boston academy of English is known for its friendly, supportive learning environment. You will get to experience the exciting program while enjoying the many exciting opportunities for fun in Boston. Your certificate is earned through daily attendance to classes, participating fully in discussions, completing all assignments, and success in teaching your 6 practice experiences with real ESL students.

There are two formats offered for the TEFL course at Boston Academy of English. Format one is the intensive, meeting for four weeks Monday through Friday from 10am to 5pm. Format two is the part-time program, meeting for 12 consecutive Saturdays from 9am to 6pm.

Many career paths will open up for you once you have earned your certificate. Some TEFL certified teachers choose to teach at a high school or language school. Others may want to volunteer at a local library or church or offer classes to help immigrants in their adjustment to their new life in the US. Some TEFL teachers choose to teach abroad in another country to further their view of the world. The opportunities are endless once you have your TEFL certificate.

If the TEFL is a certificate you have been interested in pursuing, please jin us at BAE for a free half-day class to see first hand all we have to offer. Our Academic Director would love to meet with you to discuss your personal and professional goals.
