Resumen biográfico

In times past the basic requirement to teach English as a foreign language was that the candidate is a proficient or native English speaker, no credentials needed. The only criteria for being qualified to undertake a TEFL course being that the candidate is a native or near-native English speaker. TEFL: Teaching English as a Foreign Language, when the bastion of groovy backpackers with an objective, is now the steady course for graduates very much looking for life and travel experience, for those unhappy with the politicians and environment of their home country and wanting to start once again in a brand-new place free from all the nonsense, for retirees desiring to make amends for a working life that was a need rather than an option and for those unhappy with their tasks and desiring a brand-new challenge in a job that gives back a lot more than a salary. With the situation as it stands now, there are not sufficient certified instructors to cater to the around the world demand for English, so, fortunately, this is much better news for those wanting to find out English.
