Being native or qualified?
| Q. I have been reading ads on teaching English abroad. I did my first and second degrees in TEFL in Ethiopia and my PhD in the UK. I am wondering if I need a TEFL certificate to teach abroad via job ads like yours. Any suggestions?
A. If your first and second degrees had a TEFL specialisation plus you have a UK doctorate, we can't think why a prospective employer would require a TEFL certificate, in addition. However, if your TEFL training took place many years ago, employers might request evidence of an awareness & experience of current methodologies.
