IS AN ELT QUALIFICATION REALLY NECESSARY?
"I am a 28-year old Romanian citizen, so a non-EU citizen. I have above average education, I have a B.A. in English Language, a M.A. in British and American Studies and I am presently enrolled in a PhD program in English Linguistics. I also have a relatively rich teaching experience, five years with university students majoring in Law and Economics and two years teaching business professionals. I also have advanced level Italian and Spanish. Do I need a TEFL degree."

Degree or Cert First?
| Q. I am extremely interested in pursuing a career in TESOL. I understand that you need a degree and I was wondering whether I should get the degree first and then the ESL qualification or vice versa. The courses I am interested in at University offer a TESOL module and a year abraod as a language assistant at a school. What is the best direction to take?
A. One can approach it either way, although it is true to say that most countries now demand a degree for employment as a language teacher. The courses you are considering appear to kill two birds with one stone. The decision has to be yours.
