Here\u2019s a few reasons why everyone could benefit from being a TEFL teacher.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get paid to travel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with a biggy. While other travellers are draining their cash while they travel, you\u2019ll be earning. Sometimes the pay isn\u2019t huge (though it can be very healthy depending on which country you\u2019re in), you\u2019re still making money. With free accommodation and meals often thrown in, you\u2019re left to either save or spend your money exploring the country when you have time off.\u00a0 With only a small investment, you can get travelling right away. Pro tip: look out for TEFL packages that offer free flights!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Join a community of likeminded travellers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re always going to be part of a community of travellers. You\u2019ll have something in common with many of the people you meet on the road. Share your stories and get advice from other TEFL teachers on the best places to go and teaching techniques. On almost all placements, you\u2019ll be with other travellers, so you\u2019ll be building up that social network everywhere you go.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Integrate with locals <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>TEFL placements can vary between small rural towns and large metropolises. Either way, by living and working somewhere for an extended about of time, you\u2019re going to integrate better with locals. They will be your neighbours, friends, students, the shopkeeper in the local newsagents, and the street vendor down the road from your home. These are people you\u2019ll get to know in a way travellers never do when they pass through on holiday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do something worthwhile<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ok, so there\u2019s plenty of ways to give back while you\u2019re travelling, but nothing beats the satisfaction of helping people speak a new language. Over 4-6 months with the same students, you\u2019re going to see a noticeable difference in their speaking ability, a skill that\u2019s going to stand them in good stead when they go into the world of work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Learn a new language<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not only will you be helping others learn English, but many TEFL internships and packages include language lessons in the local lingo for free. Ever wanted to learn Thai, or perhaps Spanish? Plus, you\u2019ll have plenty of time to perfect the local dialog while you live and travel in country. You can get so much more out of a place, even with just a few phrases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Add to your CV<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Think about it. If you\u2019re an employer, with all things equal, are you going to look more favorably to someone who\u2019s taken a gap year to go travelling or taken a gap year to go travelling while teaching English?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Discover new cultures<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Like all travel, you\u2019re going to discover new cultures, but unlike those who just pass through, you\u2019re going to explore a place in depth. Get to know the people, find out the secret spots that aren\u2019t featured in guide books, get an intimate knowledge of the local food and walk away with a real understanding of a place and its culture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get support while you travel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A good TEFL institution offers on the ground support while you travel. Got a problem with your visa? Lost your passport? Your camera\u2019s been stolen? Or you need some advice or guidance? No problem. There\u2019s local people there ready to support you whenever you need it.<\/p>\n<p>Ready to start TEFL?
