Why do a TESOL Course? 

Why people do TESOL Courses?

Last updated: 10th July 2023
You might be wondering whether a TESOL Course is the right step for you. There are several reasons why someone might choose to take a TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) course. Here are a few common motivations:

#1: Career Opportunities - TESOL certification can open up a wide range of career opportunities both domestically and internationally. With English being a global language, there is a high demand for English language teachers worldwide. By obtaining a TESOL qualification, you can enhance your employability and gain access to teaching positions in schools, language institutes, universities, or private tutoring.

#2: Travel and Cultural Immersion - Many individuals choose to pursue a TESOL course as a means to travel and experience different cultures. Teaching English abroad provides an opportunity to immerse yourself in a new country, interact with locals, and gain a deeper understanding of their customs and way of life. It can be an enriching and transformative experience.


#3: Making a Difference - Teaching English can be a rewarding profession as it allows you to make a positive impact on the lives of others. By helping students improve their language skills, you can empower them to access better education, job opportunities, and participate more fully in a globalised world. Teaching English also enables cross-cultural communication and fosters mutual understanding among diverse communities.

#4: Personal Growth and Development - TESOL courses not only provide training in language teaching methodologies but also help develop important skills such as communication, adaptability, problem-solving, and cultural sensitivity. It can enhance your own language proficiency and broaden your horizons. Teaching English requires creativity, patience, and the ability to connect with students from different backgrounds, which can contribute to personal growth.

#5: Professional development - TESOL courses can be beneficial for individuals who already have a background in education, linguistics, or language teaching. Adding a TESOL certification to your qualifications can expand your expertise and enable you to specialise in teaching English as a second or foreign language.


Overall, a TESOL course offers a pathway to a fulfilling career, international experiences, personal growth, and the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of others. It's a versatile qualification that can open doors to diverse opportunities and provide a platform for cultural exchange and mutual understanding.
