You will find yourself keeping in touch and even planning future adventures with your new friends.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not just a gap year\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

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

Learn a language\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

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

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

A range of opportunities\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

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
