It also doesn\u2019t have a grading rubric to let you know when you\u2019re nailing this thing called life, and while life post-graduation can be scary, it\u2019s full of a wonderful resource: possibility.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"aworldofpossibilities\">A world of possibilities<\/h2>\n<p>Traveling the world after university is a popular trope but is often more complicated than it appears. Do you have the savings to galavant around the globe (even on the cheap) or the language skills to put your major to work for you in South Korea or Germany? The good news is you don\u2019t need to, not with CELTA.<\/p>\n<p>CELTA is the University of Cambridge\u2019s highly respected <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cambridgeenglish.org\/teaching-english\/teaching-qualifications\/celta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>C<\/strong>ertificate in <strong>E<\/strong>nglish <strong>L<\/strong>anguage <strong>T<\/strong>eaching to <strong>A<\/strong>dults<\/a> and is the most recognized teaching certificate internationally. With CELTA, the whole world opens up with opportunities from Sao Paulo to Shanghai and everywhere in between.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"theceltacourse\">The CELTA Course<\/h2>\n<p>Whether or not you\u2019ve already picked out a destination for your English-teaching adventure, it won\u2019t take long before you\u2019re ready to leave for foreign shores.<\/p>\n<p>CELTA is offered in a variety of formats and covers <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cambridgeenglish.org\/teaching-english\/teaching-qualifications\/celta\/about-the-celta-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">five essential language teaching and learning topics<\/a>. Theory-based input sessions with experienced teacher trainers are combined with practical teaching practice\u2014with real students\u2014to ensure you know what you\u2019re doing and how to do it. There\u2019s no preparation for teaching quite like teaching under the watchful eye of practiced instructors.<\/p>\n<p>The intensive nature of the course ensures that your knowledge of <em>how<\/em> to teach English will soon catch up to your knowledge of <em>where<\/em> you want to teach.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"morethanawaytotravel\">More than a way to travel<\/h2>\n<p>The time you spend teaching overseas with your CELTA isn\u2019t just a means to exploring the world; it can also be an investment in your future.<\/p>\n<p>Working overseas confers a variety of \u2018soft skills\u2019 that are increasingly sought after in workplaces back home and abroad. Experience in cross-cultural communication, resourcefulness, and creativity are just some of the skills you\u2019re likely to walk away with. The ability to navigate a variety of administrative and professional bureaucracies overseas is experience not easily ignored by future employers.<\/p>\n<p>Whether your goals are long-term or short-term, putting a CELTA certificate to work teaching abroad can pay off\u2014and pay down student loans, too.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"whatareyouwaitingfor\">What are you waiting for?<\/h2>\n<p>English language teaching remains an evergreen employment opportunity throughout the world, and not always where it\u2019s most expected. China and South Korea draw many teachers, but the best jobs go to the most qualified candidates and a CELTA certificate can help get your name to the top of the pile. Of course there\u2019s also Taiwan, Japan and the growing southeast asian markets of Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines for those looking for a different experience.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget about teaching in the Middle-East, South America, and Europe. There\u2019s potential the world over and plenty of options in English-speaking countries as well. More people from more places are seeking language training in the countries they want to live and work in.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it takes you abroad on an international adventure or helps you provide new arrivals with their language skills, teaching English with a CELTA certificate offers global perspective, valuable skills, and experiences you\u2019ll never forget.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Does teaching English to adult learners sound like an adventure you can see yourself taking?
