TEFL TESOL USA
TEFL course and TEFL Jobs in the USA
There is still a predominant preference for the MA TESOL qualification
for teachers in the US, but that doesn't necessarily make it the best
qualification. The MA TESOL is still fairly theoretical, and doesn't
compare with the hands-on dynamism of the Cambridge CELTA, Trinity CertTESOL
or equivalent.
St Giles in San Francisco was the first school to propose this in the
States, and continue to operate there to this day. Cactus TEFL also
proposes courses in New York and Denver.
The courses are expensive, but less so than taking the MA. The job
opportunities in the States for teachers from elsewhere in the world
remain extremely limited, it being very difficult to justify the appointment
of a non-American in a job which could be done by an American.
The Cambridge CELTA (in particular) is becoming more and more accepted
in the States, which is a good thing. For US trained teachers heading
out to teach English around the world, Central & South America remain
the easiest countries to find work in. The European Union doesn't officially
accept American teachers, but if you manage to secure your work visa
with one school, you're pretty much guaranteed work from the other schools
in town too. Many US TEFL teachers do manage to pick up work, paid cash
in hand and unofficially, but strangely we don't have many statistics
on this!
