TEFL Certification in Chicago for Teaching English Abroad

I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking for the opportunity to teach and travel abroad. I think that it is super beneficial to take the in person course as opposed to the online course. I think it makes a big difference to be able to form the relationships with the other teachers and the instructors of the course. I found so much value in spending time with like minded individuals and have made some wonderful friendships.

Having taken these TEFL courses of ITA, I have learnt much and gained valuable teaching methods and experience under the supervision of Nicole and Juliana. This course is dedicatedly designed for tefl/tesol learners in order for them to succeed in their future TEFL. I have studied a lot that I did not know before in this pedogogical sphere of English within this short period of time. Every day I returned back home with new thoughts, experiences, innovative teaching methods that were taught in the very ITA. I feel thankful for the efforts of ITA and ever-helping instructors and do recommend for newcomers to taste the sweetness of ITA. At the same time I would like to remind that nothing will come ease, as most of you know easy comes easy goes, so great things come with challenges. Then, ready for challenge? Good luck!

If you're just looking to travel abroad just for fun and scratch that "digital nomad" itch, this course is not for you. Instead, choose one of the TEFL courses on the market with phrases like, "get certified in a weekend!" and "TEFL certification for only $25.00!" ITA's 190-hour course is for people who take the responsibility of teaching seriously. Don't get me wrong: traveling and living abroad were both reasons why I wanted to get certified in the first place. But If you want to feel confident standing in front of a classroom of foreign language learners, this is where you need to study. I took the course within a class of eight. We each received personalized, well-thought-out feedback from our morning and evening instructors. We worked as a team and developed close bonds with one another. Even before I graduated I gained access to teacher networks, lesson-planning materials, and job boards that compiled positions from credible schools and recruiters. This course is not for the casual EFL teacher. If you choose to enroll, be ready to WORK. But you'll walk away with a massive support system and a variety of tools that will make you a formidable language teacher.
