WHAT QUALIFICATIONS DO I NEED TO TEACH?
| Q. What does ELT mean? What qualifications are needed to become a Teacher of English as a Foreign Language? Are there any universities or colleges in Jamaica that offer TEFL courses?
A. ELT stands for English Language Teaching. To be a teacher of English as a Foreign Language one generally requires a first degree and a post graduate TEFL/TESL qualification. However, some schools and organisations will employ with a degree only or indeed simply by virtue of the applicant being a native speaker. I am unaware of TEFL courses on offer in Jamaica but an
enquiry to the local education authority should be able to answer your question.
