TESOL is Your Ticket to Travel the World
Last Updated September 27th, 2005

‘Travel’ is the # 1 response by over 85% of University and College students when surveyed about what they would like to do once they graduate.

For many of these students, however, travel is not an option. Between student loans and the need to save money, there isn’t much income left over for a travel fund.

For those students in a financial bind, there is a simple solution: Teach English abroad and get paid to travel.

Teaching English to foreign students can be very rewarding in many different forms. The income is an enormous advantage; with a TESOL certificate and a certified TESOL school working on students’ behalf, students can earn up to $35,000 a year depending on the country they have chosen to teach in. This can be a big help when paying off student loans or debts. In addition there is the benefit of travel and the opportunity to experience new worlds and have exciting adventures. The advantages to teaching abroad vary for every person, but some of the greatest assets to teaching are never realized until the teacher actually experiences the customs, culture and language of the country they are teaching in. Every teacher comes back changed and learns a great deal more than a traditional classroom could ever administer.

Coventry House International, Language and Teacher Trainer Center, provides students with the finest training and instruction to teach English abroad through their on-site or online TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) certificate courses. Through the 5 week TESOL certificate program, graduates of Coventry House will not only be able to teach English in hundreds of exotic destinations around the world, but will also earn a salary, meet new friends, and gain priceless experiences.

Coventry House International has both an on-site campus - situated in the heart of downtown Toronto - and an on-line component - Ontesol.com, so that students can study from anywhere in Canada or the world. The innovative on-line Teacher Training Course provides students with the skills and knowledge needed to become ESL (English as a Second Language) teachers. The added benefits to this on-line program are immeasurable, like the convenience and flexibility to gain a TESOL certificate at any time of the year.

One example of the more challenging on-line courses designed by ontesol.com is the TEYL (Teaching English to Young Learners) course, which has been carefully developed to address the needs of young children and is very popular with Coventry House International graduates. Yuichiro Kawai of Japan writes about the online TEYL course: “[the course provided] Motivational, enriching material. Learning different techniques to teach kids has helped me tons in my daily lessons.”

And Mariana Constanzo Lopez of Spain says, “I would recommend the course to anyone who would like to learn how to teach young learners. The tutors did an excellent job.”

But why go to all the trouble to train in a career in TESOL? Teacher training in TESOL has developed in range and complexity over the last decade and in order to improve the quality and standard of ESL education, most employers in Canada and overseas require that their teachers have a recognized TESOL certificate. Trinity, an international examining board, is one of the bodies that validate certificates courses in TESOL, and their rigorous qualifications are among the most widely recognized in the field. Students holding a Trinity CertTESOL can assure prospective employers of their sound training in preparations for classroom teaching and consequently gain entry to teach in any country they please. Coventry House International is the only Trinity CertTESOL course provider in North America and thus gives students the most in-depth training in TESOL. In only 5 weeks Coventry House International, with its small classes, personal attention, and latest techniques and approaches in language learning, will provide graduates with a sound and stimulating start to this flourishing profession, helping them to become 100% prepared to teach English to students from other countries.

The Coventry House International program includes the study of language awareness, grammar and phonology, the study and application of teaching skills and methodology, and the study of the individual learner, as well as many other courses, providing an extensive training that has been described as an “exceptionally high standard of tuition” by Christopher Fry, a Trinity CertTESOL Moderator. All Coventry House and Ontesol.com courses are designed by qualified and experienced tutors, each with more than fifteen years of experience as TESOL trainers. Coventry House trainers truly care about the individual progress of each graduate and assist and support students throughout the program, even providing them with job placements and long-term career advice.

Just graduated? Don’t rule out traveling the world just yet. In just 5 short weeks of intense training Coventry House graduates can be on their way to exotic destinations to not only teach but have a great time too. The personal rewards are great, the financial rewards immense, and the long term education invaluable!
