Mrs has no work these days teaching Thai so has started teaching Englsih. Any recommendations for a reasonably priced TEFL course in Bangkok, she has a degree in education but this would probably be an advantage for her. 

Better to do a CELTA than TEFL - more prestigious.

 

(CELTA requires the student to have a good grasp of English grammar before starting the course, whilst TEFL doesn't.  A large part of the TEFL training is therefore teaching English grammar, rather than focusing on how to teach effectively.  Very little grammar is taught in English schools, but a Thai learning English will have been thoroughly drilled in English grammar.)

Thanks, i am against the over teaching of grammar, that's what puts kids off and it's boring. I will pass this on

May have changed but when I did mine there was NO grammar involved at all it was all conversational English and stayed right away from technical structure etc.

Are you referring to CELTA or TEFL?

TEFL isn't a qualification is it?
CELTA is a TEFL qualification. There are others.

Thanks. I wasn't familiar with them before.
But reading their site seems to confirm what I said - TEFL is the field of Teaching English as a Foreign Language.  It's not proprietary to that organization.  They offer a variety of TEFL qualifications, some of which include TEFL in the title, just as other providers of TEFL courses and qualifications do. 
Are you saying that a CELTA is not a TEFL qualification?
