Great White Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Is this something to do instead of just the CELTA? Would the TEYL be similar to a TEFL, and help to find work? There is no difference in price, but it is 1 week longer. And are ECC a good company? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loaded Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) TA in CELTA stands for teaching adults. You are trained to teach adults in a language school environment on a CELTA. The training is homogenous and doesn't make allowances for the specific needs of Asian learners. You won't have observed teaching practices in formal Thai schools. They offer an extension called TEYL if you want to be trained to teach young learners. I don't think this includes observed teaching practice. CELTA is highly respected around the world. ECC's CELTA will be as recognized around the world as any other CELTA imo. Most generic TEFL courses in Thailand cover young learners and adults. The better ones have observed teaching practices at formal schools. Edited November 16, 2014 by Loaded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great White Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 Yeah, but is it worth doing the extra week on the TEYL course? It is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danstarr Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 If you have the time, do it. You might end up wanting / needing similar certification in future and as this is a Cambridge certificate, I'd go for it (if the CELTA hasn't killed you already!).
