About this session
Monique Walsh explains why becoming an English language teacher is a rewarding career, given the huge global demand. She details gold-standard Cambridge qualifications like CELTA and TKT, and how to choose the right one.
Key takeaways
- ✓ Consider becoming an English language teacher as global demand is insatiable, ensuring you'll never be out of a job if you love language and teaching.
- ✓ Prioritize Cambridge teaching qualifications like CELTA or TKT, as they are considered the "gold standard" in the industry.
- ✓ Choose the CELTA if you have near-native proficiency and plan to teach in English-speaking countries.
- ✓ Opt for the TKT if you are an intermediate-level non-native speaker looking for a more accessible, modular qualification to convert your English knowledge into teaching skills.
- ✓ The Delta qualification is generally for advanced roles like training trainers or creating materials, and may be overqualified for general teaching positions.
