While going on holiday to places can be enriching, there\u2019s no better way to get to know a new country, culture and local people than by spending an extended period of time in that country. With time, you can get to know the local customs and traditions on a deeper level and take the time to learn how the locals live.

You can meet like-minded people who are also passionate about teaching, travelling and exploring. You can share your experiences and doubts with them as you are all going through similar experiences. Forming your community of friends is important when you live abroad and they can become your family away from family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meeting your fellow TEFL teachers and students from all over the world can allow you to get new know people from all backgrounds and open your mind. The friendships you make during these unique adventures often last a lifetime as it really does create a special bond between people. You will find yourself keeping in touch and even planning future adventures with your new friends.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Not just a gap year\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to take a year away from your 9-5 job, then TEFL could be a great idea. People often take gap years\/ sabbiticals but don\u2019t do a lot with them. With TEFL, you can take the year (or more) and teach. When (or if) you return to your home country, you\u2019ll have spent the year continuing to learn skills and gaining useful professional and person experience. This looks great on your CV if you want to get a job in a different field in the future as you will learn transferable skills. You\u2019ll also be earning money during your time away, so you don\u2019t need to worry as much about your finances as you will have some income.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Learn a language\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Immersion is the best way to learn a language. If you\u2019d like to pick up a new lingo and put it into practice. You should take the opportunity to take classes or practise with locals at language meet-ups. You\u2019ll pick up a very marketable new skill by learning another language. You will pick up some good pronunciation learning in a local environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019d be surprised how much you can pick up from your students in the classroom, even if you don\u2019t use that language with them. You might hear new phrases or learn something from translations with your students. You might even feel more curious to explore their language to learn more about the common mistakes they make, so that you can understand them better in the classroom and on their learning journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>A range of opportunities\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only can you find exciting work all over the world, but there is also a great variety of work that you can get into. Most teachers start out by teaching adult learners and young learners. As you gain experience, you can also branch out into Business English, Exam English or private lessons. If you want to further your TEFL career, you can also eventually move into materials development or teacher training. Your TEFL experience doesn\u2019t have to stop at spending a year away, it can be a rewarding career that your first flight is only the beginning of!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re interested in expanding your TEFL skills in 2024, you should check out our specialist courses. They can give your CV that extra boost as well as give you confidence to explore a new TEFL area outside of General Engish. Many countries look for teachers for young learners so having this qualification will help your application. If you\u2019re hesitant to teach online, then perhaps one of our Teaching English Online courses will be exactly what you need to get going!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Make an impact\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With English being one of the world\u2019s most in-demand languages, you can really see how your work makes an impact on your students\u2019 lives. The feeling of helping a student pass an exam or gain employment gives you a sense of accomplishment in your work. In today\u2019s climate, knowing English can change someone\u2019s life, and you can be a big part of that by giving them the tools and knowledge to progress in a new language.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also use your skills to volunteer to teach refugees and migrants who need English to help them settle into English-speaking countries such as the UK or Ireland. Being displaced due to war, poverty, or religious persecution is all too common these days. You can help make the world a little bit better by lending your teaching skills to an organisation that provides English lessons to refugees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_20191015_202800_395-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17917 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_20191015_202800_395-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Italy Internship 2019 Lauren\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_20191015_202800_395-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_20191015_202800_395-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_20191015_202800_395-1-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_20191015_202800_395-1-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_20191015_202800_395-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_20191015_202800_395-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_20191015_202800_395-1.jpg 1124w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, there we go.
