• Pros & Cons of TEFL/TESL/TESOL courses in English Speaking Countries,
• Pros & Cons of TEFL/TESL/TESOL Courses Abroad
There are many TEFL/TESL/TESOL courses available in locations worldwide. To be internationally recognized, TEFL/TESL/TESOL courses should include the features mentioned on our Course Features page.
If the TEFL/TESL/TESOL courses you are considering do not have these features, then you should seriously consider how valuable your TEFL/TESL/TESOL certificate is going to be to you and your profession as a teacher.
If the TEFL/TESL/TESOL course you are considering has all the components mentioned previously, then the next step is to consider the course’s location. The first question to ask should be:
"Should I take a TEFL/TESL/TESOL course in my home country or should I take a TEFL/TESL/TESOL course abroad?"
We believe our location in Guadalajara, Mexico has a lot to offer our students. This modern city has all the conveniences of a metropolitan area (accessibility, international airport), but offers a rich culture. Guadalajara is home to mariachi music, is located in close proximity to the wonderful resort beaches of Puerto Vallarta and has a cultural integrity unlike other Mexican cities. However, the pros and cons of both teaching in your home country and abroad are clarified below.

TEFL/TESL/TESOL Courses Abroad

It is worth considering that only TEFL/TESL/TESOL courses in a non-English speaking country give you a true reflection of living and teaching abroad. For many of our trainees and graduates, immersion into a culture different from their own is a high priority.
