A TEFL (Teaching English as Foreign Language) Certificate Course is best suitable for aspirants interested in teaching young learners. It is a comprehensive course covering the technique of teaching the four basic language skills namely, speaking, listening, reading and writing and the ways of improving vocabulary. The TEFL Certificate Course also trains an aspirant on the other aspects of teaching such as handling criticism or opposition and classroom management.

The TESOL (Teaching English to Students of Other Languages or Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) program is a more advanced course and suitable for those interested in teaching English to adults. This course delves deeper into the techniques of teaching English language and deals with concepts like grammar, phonetics and syntax. A teacher upon completion of the TESOL program learns to teach English to large and mixed groups of people from different regional, linguistic and social backgrounds.

TEFL training in either of these courses can be done from American TESOL Academy, which has been the pioneer of TEFL training for many years.
