Frequently Asked Questions about TEFL Certification and Teaching English Abroad

How will I complete the TEFL practicum for the International TEFL Academy 170 hour online TEFL certification course?

The term “practicum” refers to 20 hours of practice teaching, observation and/or tutoring that you must complete in an ESL or EFL classroom setting to earn your accredited TEFL certification – most schools looking to hire English teachers will not recognize TEFL/TESOL certification courses that do not incorporate a TEFL practicum.
